Policies may vary based on organizational needs but here are some of the recommendations which may help in crafting the internet access, well i say in my organization ineternet access policy plays a vital role in protecting the electronic assets.

- All Internet activity should be related to company business only.

- Internet is a public domain so act accordingly regarding company confidentiality policies.

- All data should pass through centralized location with LAN, users should be permitted to use modems through their workstations. To help enforce this, users do not have access to analog phone lines at their workstation.

- Frequently access websites should regularly be monitored wherever necessary

- Internet bandwith should be in control and specially during office should be provided on request basis.

- Access to sites not permitted should be enable through proper justification.

- Email and Messaging websites should never be allowed within the corporate boundries, where necessary all email data should routed through email exchange (e.g. MS Exchange Server)

- Most of the applicatons require access to Ports, this should be controlled through firewall rule settings (e.g McAfee Desktop Firewall)
