The network has been core to us for over decade now; everything is on it
including the machines that "bend (or cut) interestingly shaped metal
(or composites)".  Network outages now rank only behind power outages in
their business disruption costs.

And now we are even including it in the aircraft so the airlines will be
able to get real-time updates from the flight before it even lands on
what it needs for the flight (food, fuel, service, etc), be able to
re-ticket you in flight (and print the ticket), and even allow you to
work or communicate while in the air (Connexion by Boeing).

Take care
