Topic: Bettendorf

A donation from Bettendorf, Iowa, prompts a discussion about the town's history and its municipal gigabit Ethernet. Dvorak recalls an April Fool's column he wrote about Sioux City changing its name to Gateway City. The hosts also discuss the privacy implications of "free" Google Fiber in Austin and acknowledge a photo submission from a listener's wife.

The hosts read a series of donations, many following the "69.69" trend started by listener Carrie Shearn. Topics include a TechPhoenix conference announcement, a Ron Paul speaking petition at UC Davis, and various requests for "relocation karma" and "de-douching."
