This latest announcement is far from a permanent break-up. “Gogo will still be outfitting other aircraft in our domestic fleet with its 2ku satellite Wi-Fi,” American Airlines spokeswoman Martha Thomas told Bloomberg, calling the company “a valued partner.”
So some of American’s fleet will remain with Gogo Wifi and some of it will have ViaSat? Well that sucks for anyone who flies often and has the Gogo monthly pass. It will not be the available Wifi on some flights.
Yeah, that’s me.
Still, better Wifi would be welcome regardless of how they get there.
Kevin raises an interesting point. When I read a good post or article, whether from a blogger, reporter, columnist or business person (lawyers included), I look to meet the person. Online and maybe later, offline. If someone can add value to my life with what they’ve had to say online, maybe there’s something more to…
The backup has to be offline, disconnected from the computer that gets infected. “Keeping a backup copy of vital data is a good way of reducing the damage of a ransomware attack: it allows companies to get systems up and running again without having to pay off the crooks. But that backup data isn’t much…
But wait, there’s more. Yesterday, the Senate was threatening tech companies that they will be requiring them to break encryption.

What Sherri talks about in regards to the security industry is something I’m seeing over and over again when reading about diversity. The child care question.
Let me share another resource on the topic with you. In December, there was an episode of People I Mostly Admire with Claudia Goldin, where she talked about the concept of “Greedy work”.
The topic she was chatting about was the gender pay gap and how much child care contributes to it, and one of the reasons we have a gender pay cap, aside from the percentage that is actually discrimination, is that greedy work doesn’t account for child care, but it pays more. So in many families, they have to make a choice between less pay and the flexibility to equally share the child care. The economics of that don’t usually make sense, so one parent takes on the greedy work to maximize the family income while the other steps back to a more flexible role in order to provide the majority of child care. With social norms being what they are, and the other issues that contribute to a gender pay gap, that most often means the man in a heterosexual couple, and here we are with women being vastly underrepresented in these types of positions.
“The thought that networking would be one of the most important aspects of my career never occurred to me. It wasn’t until much later that I understood what people were saying. The problem wasn’t that I was a bad networker, it was that I was following a recipe that was just not made for my…
