I don't believe that for one instant - I've done support for more than a
hundred corporations in the last 5 years, many government groups, and
I've never seen one company (or learned about one) that required all of
it's employees to have complete, open, unrestricted, internet access.

Sure, there are groups in companies that are give it, but the majority
of employees in most companies don't need it to do their jobs.

Prove me wrong, list 5 companies we can check to see that everyone in
them needs full, unrestricted, open, access to the Internet - 5
companies with more than 50 employees.

I await your list.
