Too bad the FCC wimped out and dropped the wholeselling provisions from the recent 700 Mhz auction. Open access my ass.

I'm not a Helio user, but I appreciate that they're pushing the envelope more than a lot of other carriers out there. I hope Helio doesn’t end up there as well.

I think some board members were probably paying themselves some golden parachute salaries. It's great to have a link to your social network - e.g. facebook on your iPhone, but I think this just lacked adequate market research and too much ill conceived optimism for the sake of making hay while the sun shined.

I tried a few times to work with them - but these clowns could not even make their meetings - and cancel out repeatedly - and call back again looking to re-schedule. if that is any indication of their way of doing business - I can only imagine what many of their customers and partners had to say. And not to be forgotten the high profile resume of their founder ceo - i guess in the end that did not really matter if they did not know how to conduct business in this commodity environment - RIP They died becasue that entire gang of sales and bd guys were clueless - I mean downright morons - never understood the world around them and too arrongant to think others might know better.
