At least they allow you to skip the ad. As an advertiser, this is really great since you don't get to pay when your ad is skipped.
It's been 15 years and we are finally getting somewhere with mobile. But a big problem is corporations still have a problem with mobile workers. At one consulting company I was working at we sent up a resource to a client and when we called him the next day, because the client was looking for him, we could here the beach in the background.
The message to tech workers? Don't mess it up for those of us who work remotely and use mobile to make a living. I guess that's why I received a offer this morning to work 5 days a week 1000 miles away and go "home" on the weekends. So what home would that be? The Airport?

Am sure we will continue to see improvements in BYOD and hopefully help companies deploy more remote workers. I love working remotely as well and I don't want anyone messing it up for me as well. Osgcurt, you are not alone.
It should be very easy to tell whether remote workers are doing the wrong thing. Phones have GPS and it's simple to track them. And even more simply... the client paying for his time noticed that he wasn't there and alerted you to that fact.
Things holding us back are the "niceties" like having everyone in one building and being able to quickly call meetings etc. Technology is fixing that problem though (unified messaging etc). BYOD is taking off and companies are realising they can get away with having employees buy their own smart phones. I think the next step will be for companies realising that they can have employees work from home so they won't have to provide office space, parking, air-conditioning etc etc.
