"Some companies are reducing or eliminating e-mail in a bid to staunch the spread of disruptive computer viruses and spam. The Weymouth Club, a Boston-area health club chain, is cutting off some PCs to the Internet. Merrill Lynch last month banned employee use of AOL, Yahoo and other outside e-mail services to better protect its network. The Sports Section, a photography company in Atlanta, forced its 100 employees to change e-mail addresses six months ago and also banned the use of Web-based e-mail addresses," reports USA Today.
"Phones4U, a mobile-phone retailer in England, has gone so far as to ban its 2,500 employees from e-mailing one another. Customers can still e-mail the company."
