The author of the piece, Scott Cleland, is a sort of pundit-for-hire for the telecommunication industry, and more recently, Microsoft (who was among the consortium that won the Nortel patents). Cleland seems to have made a whole career out of generating faux-outrage at Google's behaviour, while in the pay of Google's competitors.

- fragsworth 15y agoThe ignorance and bias reeks throughout the article so bad you can smell it. He even has his fingers in politics; he served as "Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for telecom trade matters", and served as a "Senior Policy Advisor for Legislative Affairs", under George H.W. Bush. Just... wow. Fuck this guy.
