Given that most say they don't have a PIN, that would indicate that they either don't have Exchange policies, or they don't have an MDM in place. Or they simply don't connect their mobile device to work networks (that question doesn't seem to be answered in the article). I think that rules out pretty much all major enterprises and government departments, and just about any decent sized org that has centralised IT.

They just felt they knew EVERYTHING and anyone without a PhD knew nothing or very little!

Higher-Ed doesn't seem to care (mostly), but CSOs and CTOs are very interested.... There are some EXCELLENT solutions for this, for WP7.5+, iOS 6+, BB 10+, etc. Android just sucks, but there are some workarounds you can apply to get "improved" results (for "secure" Android, you basically have to throw away whatever google version you are running, and run one of a couple of other Android builds that supports secure containers).
