[RFI] Didn't mobile phones originate in Ham radio?

[doc at kd4e.com]

This drifts a wee-bit OT but given the technical-bent of list
members I thought it might appeal to others as it did to me ...

At the end of this article a scientist makes the following claim:

'Do you use a mobile phone? Some of that technology came about by black 
hole research'.

Is he referring to something in the hardware?
