This blog has posted on BYOD - bring your own device for some time now. But, companies may need to think their way through the policies on BYOD.
The article points out that during the first few days of NCAA's Men's Basketball Tournament (aka "March Madness"), with streaming live games to Android devices. Some companies had 74% more bandwidth usage during those times than during normal operation.
So, you are trying to run a business and <suck> your bandwidth has dropped significantly between the first round game between a local favorite team - that is tapped into the corporate WiFi system. Routine transactions are taking longer (with the decreased bandwidth ), employee productivity is decreased as well as they are listening to the game.
Maybe a policy on blocking streaming media might keep some productivity going in the company. (Or ... continue to allow for a few days of limited bandwidth and limited productivity.)
