Email access issuess can cause short iPhone battery life

Why do you feel their wifi should be less secure? Many companies do not wish to allow personal email on their corporate machines. Think viruses downloaded in email attachments that are from some ISP that does not filter their email. Think going to twitter, and getting malware on your corp PC, and the IT department having to spend time and resources to clean it. Think what your boss will say when he finds out you got the malware virus whatever from not doing work, but visiting sites outside your job description.

Companies do this to keep costs down, keep their workers on task, and if you need a simpler reason, its their network, their rules. Just like your home connection is your network your rules. Do you let anyone connect to it, and do whatever they please? If you do, then those are your rules (or lack their of). If a company did that, that would be their rules. Because they decided to lock down their network, they decided to enforce their rules.
