Somehow I never saw this as an issue that involved "cheating" or trying to
gain an advantage...the use I have seen of cell phones and gps radios is for
reporting important information (such as "The creek rose to 3 feet last
night from the rain...maybe need to reroute the 25 milers" which did happen
at Pyramid Challenge in 2003 and "Hey, where the heck am I?  It's raining
and cold, can you have some hot coffee for me at the next pit stop?" or
something along that line) and not to mention that there are those times
when a rider IS in trouble for whatever reason and has no way to relay this
information to his/her crew or ride management.  I just don't see it as a
problem.  And Nancy is right...anyone can find out what their "position" is
in the ride by asking the timer or having their crew check or keep track or
whatever.  That's not cheating or gaining an advantage.
