One of my colleagues Kerry Buckley blogged about our company's lack of 'real' Internet access. We have, for a long time, known that this was absolutely absurd. Does make you wonder how many other companies live under this "shelter them" culture.
Slightly tangential but not so long ago, I was in the toilet of some company. On the walls and doors were notices along the lines of "Don't look at porn at work, we're watching you". Aptly someone had scrawled "1984" beneath the notice.
I think people should be allowed to govern themselves, not be subject to enforced restrictions. Sure, tell staff what you don't want them to do on work time. No need for an iron shield though.
