U.S. Congressmen Want Their iPhone
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
In response to inquiries from members of the U.S. Congress, the Chief Administrative Office (CAO) has begun testing the Apple iPhone for possible distribution, according to The Hill on Tuesday.
"The reason we’re trying them out is because we heard a lot of people wanted the option to have them," said Jeff Ventura, a spokesman for the CAO.

The distribution could come as early as the next session of Congress in January 2009. Currently, the mobile phone of choice is the RIM BlackBerry, with about 8,200 in use by Congress members and their staff.
Currently, the iPhone is not compatible with the BlackBerry Enterprise server, so a new system would have to be tested and rolled out. The move to add the iPhone looks to be expensive, even though the Congressional members and staff would have to pay for the iPhone itself out of the Member’s Representational Allowance -- funded by the taxpayers.
The deliberative body isn’t always quick to act, but in this case, the process of getting their iPhones seems to be moving along apace.
