Gogo Video + successful AIX as connectivity proves to be king (again)
https://vimeo.com/125017353 I was sorry not to be in Hamburg this week, for the plethora of connectivity and IFE announcements that swept through my inbox. Sounds like it was a truly exciting show. Luckily my friends at Gogo, Thales, Inmarsat, Panasonic, Rockwell Collins and the mighty Global Eagle Entertainment kept me updated from afar.
