("'Something that is not widely understood about Silicon Valley is the way in which the state of California does not allow companies to force employees to sign non-competition agreements,' Mr [Carter] Lusher[, an analyst based in California at the international research firm Ovum] says. 'In practice, this means someone can quit their company and walk across the street to a competitor or even start their own rival company.'")
