[Air-l] Perspective: It's my Internet--I can do what I want

[Jeremy Hunsinger]

Employees are roaming free on the Internet for their own personal use  
while at work, according to a recent survey of more than 10,000  
employees by Burstek, a provider of employee Internet management  
solutions.

This is a pretty poor news article, imho, has anyone seen the actual  
study?  I'm wondering how they actually operationalize some of their  
concepts because it seems to me that if employees use the internet  
for self-improvement, which to my mind includes discussing things  
with others, and reading, that might not be a direct form of  
efficiency, but i think that it probably increases the overall  
efficiency of the workplace by creating a more informed workforce.
