If you're running any sort of MDM (which you certainly should be for any Federal agency), you can and should be blocking it via policy.
Doesn't matter what network you're on, if you set a policy to prohibit it on the phone, apps aren't going to be using it.
Personal data is another story, but is a good reason that I think I may set up profile manager on my home server and start managing my personal devices a bit more tightly.

Reading the above, is this going to cause issues with iOS devices within the government?
It's been a long time since I've tried to order Apple products at the federal level, but China was always an issue.. Apple used to make a batch of products in the US for the government, but not sure if they still do.
The fact that people almost all have to use iCloud in some way (iMessage, Docs, etc) that a data center going up in China, could cause issues with privacy and government usage.
Any thoughts? We already have people here advocating the blocking of iCloud - which at this point is impossible because it goes through the cell network, but at BYOD becomes closer to reality, iCloud could feasibly be blocked by policy.
I'm also a little concerned that a lot of my personal data could be sitting at a data center located in a country that has made numerous attacks at Google to get information.
