It is true that it is application specific. However, running applications is one of those things users do. I believe that the lock file created by Firefox may also give the users grief. It is possible, likely even that they would try to access the internet. I was guessing that the original poster was asking about things his users might call about and users rarely distinguish between applications and the system.
