Alea,

sorry, but I find it preposterous that Wave's products may lose international appeal because they have three people who were formerly employed by the US military. They will lose international appeal if the product is not appealing. Most companies are not checking the company roster before buying products or services.

Can you share instances or experience where companies are checking rosters prior to purchasing products or services? This is not a practice I have heard of or witnessed in doing buying and selling in the corporate world.

While the Snowden thing surprised some people, I do not think privately anyone senior in any country was surprised by the level of attempted spying by other countries. Those that were are still using corded telephones and are not likely a user of Wave's products any way.


Below is a Microsoft link. The problem is, you need to trust someone or you might as well go off the grid and live on an deserted island. Even then, you will be on satellite. ;)
