Users must not deliberately perform actions that waste electronic communication resources or unfairly monopolize resources to the exclusion of other employees. This includes, but is not limited to, subscribing to list servers, mailing lists or web sites not directly related to the employee’s job responsibilities, spending extensive non-productive time on the internet, and doing large non-work related file downloads or mass mailings. Data streaming of video or audio (listening to radio) is not to be done routinely. Electronic communication resources are limited and employees have a duty to conserve these resources.
