4. The update that Media Coordinator, Robert Kim, provided on the Cupertino Alert System was
discussed. It was agreed that the caller ID from the Cupertino Alert System should at least come
across as "Cupertino Alert"versus simply "City of Cupertino'. Commissioner Iimura will send an
email to Robert Kim in that regard and discuss how they can accomplish that change.
5. There was discussion on the AT&T fiber project and how that related to recent FCC statements on
net neutrality and the potential utility status of internet access. The TICC will request a repeat
visit by an AT&T representative in the near future to discuss status, pricing and availability of the
project. The TICC will also request a visit from a Comcast representative.
REPORTS:
6. Commissioner Friedland provided a brief summary of his 8 years on the commission. He pointed
out that the most effective activities had been the ones where there was a close partnership with
City staff in such areas as re-writing cellular ordinance and establishing "green" activities. He
encouraged the new TICC chair to meet one-on-one with Mayor Sinks to discuss his priorities for
the TICC. Commissioner Chavan, Commissioner Livingood, and Commissioner Iimura
recognized Commissioner Friedland's eight years of service on the TICC and expressed their
appreciation.
