I have worked in data centers where cell phones, FM radios, Nextel phones, etc. were banned.

All the Bell Atlantic COs I've seen recently have signs banning cellphone use. I think this is based on the same decision process that lead to the ban on cellphones in most commercial airplanes -- some unsustantiated anecdotes, no testing, and extremely risk-averse executives. I'm not aware of any vendor of telecom hardware issuing an advisory that there are known cases of cellphones causing problems with the equipment. -- Shields.
