Surfing the web and sending saucy e-mails could be costing Bradford companies dear, according to a Keighley telecommunications company.

Link Telecom believes unauthorised usage of the internet and e-mail could be costing companies a small fortune and the firm has new software to try to combat the problem.

Dubbed 'Internet Control', the package monitors and reports on all Internet and e-mail activity within an organisation.

"The days of the illegal surfer look well and truly numbered," Mike Bower, managing director of Keighley-based Link Telecom, said.

The firm has been chosen as the authorised reseller of the product throughout the company's core West and North Yorkshire trading areas.

The system tracks usage by individual employees, departments and the company as a whole and provides a comprehensive analysis and reports of all activity.
