If I recall correctly, many Wi-Fi hotspot systems can employ a MAC address block list. So that after X time, the laptop gets disconnected, and cannot reconnect for Y time afterwards. Obviously this can be circumvented by savvy users, but for non-technical remote workers, it's a good way to 'nudge' them on their way. I wonder why more places just don't employ this as a tactic?
