(Those darn non-compete government contracts...  I follow stories like this to point out waay before it actually comes down, to watch out for whom is 1st, well realistically, the top 5, in line for what will be NON-COMPETE government infrastructure contracts.  Established or past patterns of behavior are an excellent indicator of what present and future behaviors will be...don't ever say no one gave a 'heads-up!)
