He has over 30 years of telecommunications <br />experience. He is a former Director of Network Operations New York Telephone and NYNEX and the former <br />Vice President and COO of Cellular One of Upstate New York. His knowledge of the telephone and wireless <br />industries is virtually unique in the arena of consultants that exclusively serve local governments. The result is <br />the loss of the monopoly of knowledge previously held by the industry when dealing with local officials. He <br />has prevented numerous communities from making costly and virtually irreversible mistakes. In addition, his <br />ability to deal with wireless operators as a true equal has resulted in gains for municipalities that they never <br />thought possible. Mr. Comi is a regular lecturer to various state and national municipal organizations and has <br />served as an expert witness in the area of wireless telecommunications and regulating wireless facilities. <br />Robert Ross - Radio Frequency/ Wireless Telecommunications Expert <br />Bob Ross is truly unique in the nation among public sector consultants. Among his credentials is graduating <br />from some of the nation's most demanding and sophisticated technical and engineering programs with <br />credentials that no one exclusively serving the public sector has. <br />This combination of education, training and real-world experience is literally unequalled among technical <br />experts exclusively serving the pubic sector. His type and level of technical expertise, coupled with his <br />experience as a local official, is what local governments often say they wish they knew existed. <br />MBA in Telecommunications from Eldorado Collage <br />Retired Communications Specialist from the U.S. Marine Corps. <br />Graduate of the NATO ( North American Treaty Alliance) Frequency Engineering School <br />Graduate of the NSA (National Security Agency) Daily Changing Frequency and Call Sign School <br />Southern California Military Frequency Manager (the principal upon which cellular technology operates) <br />for the U.S. military in Southern California. <br />Frequency Management for Space Shuttle Recovery at Edwards AFB with NASA <br />Development and design of the military's SCIF (Sensitive Compartmental Information Facilities), involving <br />extremely sophisticated high-level secret communications (otherwise known as 'Spook' communications). <br />8 <br />
