That's the accepted view amongst security professionals, too: use of
internet radio, some use of chat/instant messaging, and endless reading of
web sites is a time management and supervision problem, not a technical
one. It might be a technical issue in places where bandwidth is expensive,
or limited (e.g. entire business on an ADSL connection), however. And
ultimately, if senior management decides to make a policy banning access
via technical means, then junior network and firewall admins don't get to
argue the point. ;)

Best,
