Even with huge internet links, radio is a problem. My corp has upwards of
50,000 PCs, you can imagine the problem and associated cost if rules
weren't strict and the penalties non-trivial ("not excluding termination")
If you're at work, and you're stealing your company resources (or your
time for which your company has paid you) for personal reasons, you're a
thief, no two ways about it.
