Non-Compete Pacts Called Bad For Tech Innovation

carusoj writes in with NetworkWorld reporting from a panel at Harvard last week. It concluded that employee non-compete agreements have stifled tech startup development in Massachusetts, where the pacts are aggressively enforced, but failed to hold back the tech industry boom in states like California, where they are mostly unenforceable. We've discussed non-competes often here in the past; Techdirt made much the same point a year and a half back.

With the exclusion of Silicon Valley, Metro Boston is the #1 startup hotbed in the United States. I have no objection to the general content of your post, but it struck me that this is a really weird and long-winded way to say "Metro Boston is the #2 startup hotbed in the United States."
