There was a time when hospitals refused to allow staff to carry
personal cellphones. The fear was that the devices' signal could
interfere with more traditional medical devices. But providers have
figured out that this fear is largely unfounded, opening the gates to
a flood of cellphones.

As more and more clinicians use personal or hospital-issued cellphones
for mission-critical functions, the demand for reliable signals has
increased dramatically, and some providers are finding that standard
cell signals don't penetrate to many areas of their facility. This is
where an indoor distributed antenna system (DAS) comes in.

(MoneyWatch) It seems like common sense: If you have a mobile phone, you 
need a wireless plan to go along with it. But those plans are expensive. 
The average individual mobile phone bill is about $70 per month, for 
example, and about half of all Americans pay more than $100 per month. 
For their cell phone.
