B & H Take Note!
Wall Street Journal:
Surfing at Work: It's Okay
Is surfing the Web the same thing as reading the newspaper or talking on the telephone? According to John Spooner, an administrative law judge in New York, it is indeed. In recommending only a light punishment for a city worker accused of disregarding warnings to stay off the Internet while at work, the judge wrote that "It should be observed that the Internet has become the modern equivalent of a telephone or a daily newspaper, providing a combination of communication and information that most employees use as frequently in their personal lives as for their work.''

What's the connection to B&H?
B & H Photo, whose main business is today web based, is well known for their extremely prohibitive internet policy.
Since they are so concerned for their haimishe employees, maybe they should be the first to fund a 'Safe Internet Foundation' of technical and educational initiatives for the frum rather than a KGB and iron curtain for their employees.
Look, everyone knows (even written about in the secular press) the vast amounts of wasted time spent surfing the internet. Maybe you wouldn't be so cynical about B&H if you yourself owned a business that had employees wasting time on the internet. Don't judge somebody else until you're in their shoes.
