Pros

Some of the smartest people I had ever worked with. Company had a game changing plan that was more advanced than iPhone in 2006. Well funded with over $800 million of funding. Experience management team. There were at least 10 senior executives who were qualified to run Fortune 500 companies. Challenging and cutting edge projects. Great spectrum assets worth over $2 billion. Great plans and execution until hedge funds snuck in to steal the spectrum. AT&T acquired the company for part of the spectrum and technology assets for $600 million.

Cons

Hedge Funds disguised as equity investors back-doored into the company by CFO and GC.
