No More Free Lunch !!!

In recent year I have become used to feasting on online freebies of all sorts : news,sports,music,email and even speedy access
These days dotcoms are making news but due to certain reasons most of the companies have decided to restrict their employees for using the sites other than officail use
I was on of many who use to have free lunch by accessing some of the dotcom sites such gmail,yahoomail,facebooks orkut,rediffmail…etc but it seems to end in my office hours
Well its not only in my company but in several companies.
I do know that there are strong reasons(parameters) why organisation restrict for using these facilities but I was so enjoying the free lunch that now it seems diffcult to swallow the restriction
The reasons to stop the free lunch might be you can give things away online.There is business logic to it to
The nature of the internet means that the barrier to entry for new companies is very low -indeed very low in the web era
There are certain advanatages and disadvantages but the lesson of two internet bubbles is that somebody somewhere is going to have to pick up the tab for lunch

Yeah, things have changed over the years with more and more restrictions. I feel, like you said, that there are several pros and cons to it......but then organizations being organizations.....the noose will be tighter!
