Personally, I would *cheer* if corporations started blocking port 80. IS
departments would have to finally come up with a useful method for
solving the tension between usability and security rather than just
"allow 80 and block everything else".
Transparent web-proxies would solve that, rather than blocking it.
Then all those who tunnel over 80 to bypass the F/W would be stopped too
My last employer had one, and they checked the logs every week for the
top 10 sites visited, and if they weren't work related, they were
blocked (but that's not a security issue....)
