I also get the feeling that the author didn't learn much from this experience. The lessons learnt here are "should do better testing" but even that didn't stick based on the paragraphs after that.
The complete disregard for the victims of this company's incompetence ("the poor sod in Peru who couldn't make phone calls or post duck-face pictures to Instagram") makes this a very different kind of article from the usual "I fucked up production the other day" posts that you see here now and then.
My conclusion after reading this is that the author didn't learn anything, the company didn't get punished enough to re-evaluate their testing and the Korean company's systems are still vulnerable to unauthorized locking.
The real lessons I've learned from reading this are to avoid either LG or Samsung and any provider using Trustonic. And not to hire the author, I suppose.
