Where I used to work, the most common reason for me getting paged at 3 am was because
someone was sending their Napster directories from work to home using E-mail (this was
a very large and well-known organization that happened to be run by idiots). While
the need for limits should be obvious to everyone on this group, we are often not in a
position to impose these policies.
The truth is that if anything it is more a technical decision than business, due to
the fact that the main implication is system performance.
