Employees to be billed for personal Net use?
Australia-based Exinda Networks' URL- and bandwidth-monitoring system allows a company to monitor exactly which Web sites are visited by each employee and how much bandwidth has been used. Employees could then receive a bill each month for the cost of borrowed bandwidth and wasted time. The demand for such systems is not yet fully known.
