local network bandwidth killers

[Alex Beamish]

No, no, no. That's far too obvious -- a more amusing solution would be to
limit the bandwidth coming from these content-heavy sites. And the way to do
that would be to throttle bandwidth on everything except a list of
specifically work-related sites.

Of course, you need to do your homework first, and make sure that the
higher-ups are presented with the problem, the solution and the expected
benefits. And good luck with that. ;)
