[Davisgig] City of Palo Alto I-NET Agreement post DIVCA

[Steve McMahon]

Palo Alto is on the Google Fiber list. That could be a resource that would
affect bidding :) They've also laid a lot of their own fiber over the years.

And ... this covers surprisingly little fiber to nodes. Most is between
hubs. And the nodes for the primary user, the schools, aren't included.
