Harrington In February 2010, Google announced its Fiber for Communities initiative. The City of Palo Alto, together with 1,100 other municipal and government entities, applied to Google by its March 26 deadline. Palo Alto’s chances in the Google Fiber competition will be the focus of Bob’s remarks to PA-SPAUG on July 14. Born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Bob is a Stanford University alum. Bob’s adult life has been spent entirely in Santa Clara County working for just three companies, Pacific Telephone, Transamerica Title, and finally a 25-year investment career with Dean Witter (now Morgan Stanley). About a decade ago, Bob became interested in a proposed Fiber to the Home (FTTH) neighborhood trial in Palo Alto. Bob’s household was among the 65 residential participants in the FTTH trial from 2001 through 2005. Because of that involvement, since 2001 Bob has been a community advisor to the utility, then in 2007 was appointed (together with two others) Advisor to the Mayor – Broadband.	15	16	17
