There can also be regulatory-environment issues that work against BYOD. Here in Germany (as in the rest of the EU) there are very strict personal-data protection requirements that need to factor into companies' risk assessments. Many companies reasonably conclude that having customer or client data stored on (or even accessible from) employee-owned hardware is not a Good Idea, due to compliance issues and the increased risk of data breaches and associated fines/bad PR.
(The article you cite looks interesting but the statistics it quotes seem fishy in various respects. It is also tainted by the fact that the author himself seems to be a big fan of BYOD. I probably wouldn't want to lean on it too heavily for support.)
