FVO capable = have an Internet connection.

FVO capable = can get approval from boss/IT/NSA, there's actually
quite high probability of getting the app they need by itself, but not
if it involves an upgrade or multiple installs of supporting software.

I have no personal experience of having a requisition denied or
delayed for such reasons, but this is something that comes up over and
over again on python-dev.  From credible sources, not just whiners, too.
