You're confused. There are employees at those companies using the iPhone, but almost none have deployed the iPhone via their IT department. The reason it's only 70% and not 100% is because many corporations forbid the use of the iPhone for security reasons. You can't even log on to their internal networks with one. You'll need to come up with a better reference than the Apple COO if you want to be believed!

VPN is often not enough. >> You'll need to come up with a better reference than the Apple COO if you >> want to be believed! > > why would he lie?
