Sooty when I stopped work over 5 years ago the major bank I was working for was starting a BYOD (bring your own device) policy. The plan was to stop having to supply and maintain expensive kit but they were going to "market" the convenience of not having to lug a laptop to and from work.
I don't think they planned to pay any allowance to people for use of their own equipment or line but I'm pretty sure the staff would have expected it. Whether it got off the ground I don't know, but us contractors had no choice - and most of us were absolutely fine with it.
Though I can see some potential problems for Bromps and others - maybe not as insurmountable as it sounds but still potentially there.
Their environment was completely locked down in a browser window, you couldn't save stuff to your local PC or use your printer. You had to start a VPN session to get access.
