Complete, and on the facts of which I am aware, accurate.

It is hard to believe someone can’t click on the author’s name and get her complete bio, and instead chooses to attack. If you are not comfortable with one of the top technology blogs, and the credentials their writers have and share in their profiles, then don’t read it.

And, if you are one of the people that went to LightSquared for a 20+%-above-market salary, not understanding the true challenges they face before they can get their first dollar in revenue, own up to your decision and don’t blame the writer for conveying the facts…

Have you ever held a job in a telecommunications company in any capacity? You should let everyone know from where you get your self-asserted expertise in network technologies, economics, public policy, and product management, else folks like the commentor above might have the audacity to question your opionions.
