It’s probably not an entitlement yet but that point is within sight. There are lots of legitimate business (corporate and personal) functions that are done better online, and some that can only be done online. If the only way for me to renew my license or get the continuing education hours that I need to keep my license or to register for a job-related conference is online then my employer has to give me internet access.

The other interesting piece here is social networking. Right now, many or most company servers block it, but if those sites continue to grow in utility, as they probably will, then access to social networking sites becomes part of the entitlement.

There’s a concept in real estate law that when a certain path has been used as a right-of-way for a certain length of time, the owner of the land can no longer revoke that access. In fact, the right goes with the property when sold (there are a few exceptions, but that’s the general rule…) Maybe the same thing applies to stuff that starts as “perks” like free coffee or tea, water bottles….we acquire a legal right of access that remains with the item…
