Countless files are exchanged daily inside and outside of business networks. The most common method of file sharing is the use of email attachments but this method has considerable limitations due to file size limits, lack of infrastructure and security threat protection.

E-mail archiving is rapidly increasing in popularity, particularly among businesses in highly regulated and litigated industries. E-mail archiving can also improve the operational efficiencies of typical e-mail infrastructures.

As a number of industry insider and tech gadget bloggers are reporting, Wi-Fi services will soon be offered as an in-flight service on select aircraft. The first out of the gate is JetBlue, who will be taking off this month with a single aircraft equipped with free Wi-Fi service. Unfortunately, JetBlue's service is to be severely crippled, only allowing access to e-mail via a Yahoo! account and a Wi-Fi capable RIM Blackberry device. The good news is American Airlines ("AA") will be following soon after with a far superior Wi-Fi product, the details of which are explained in a memo Hyperion received from an AA insider.
