From the article.

"According to Media Metrix, a New York company that meters Internet use much
the way Nielsen does television, 22.8 million Americans used Web sites on
company time in March. About 25 per cent of all corporate Internet traffic, much of
it surreptitious, is considered unrelated to work. Some 8.2 million people visited
Yahoo Finance, CBS Marketwatch, Schwab, E*Trade and other financial sites at
work, up from 6 million just three months earlier. "

Those are pretty big numbers. It won't be long before management limits internet access, and that will have a major impact on the volatility of the markets. Fewer daytrading stock candidates.
Limited internet access could also cause some traders to become more reckless, by placing pre opening orders on equities that should only be traded with undivided attention.
