The company also provides power; can they plug in a radio and use your electricity?

Yikes. FWIW: We haven't, but we do have it in our policy manual that streaming media without a business purpose is forbidden, and subject to disciplinary action. I have had to have a few people formally written up, but it's never gone beyond that. We also endeavor to block that stuff at the proxy server, but filtering is imperfect. > If the network suffers, the whole business suffers - > but that's IT's fault, not the person streaming a radio station. They get disciplined for flagrantly disregarding company policy, not for harming the network. We always stop it before it comes to harm. I've got no objection to streaming radio on principle; it's just a question of resources. The company isn't providing an Internet feed so people can listen to the radio on their PC, and we're not about to spend money upgrading it for that, either. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
