This story has been floating around the Internet for a few days and I have even re-tweeted it on at least one occasion. I wanted to take moment and add my thoughts to the mix. I do not understand why GoGo would choose the route of certificate spoofing to tackle the problem of controlling streaming on flights. There are numerous other legitimate solutions that could have been deployed. I am fairly certain this was a result of cost and speed to implementation. Unfortunately, Gogo’s credibility has taken a hit in the process. Perception is reality when using a MitM technique to throttle traffic.
