Why Him? Fore’s motto seems to be “No time to waste.” He became SVP for the region in October 2012, and already he and his team have launched Xfinity WiFi and Comcast’s advanced X1 Platform in California, as well as a cloud-based DVR. Comcast is also increasing the speeds of two of its most popular Xfinity Internet speed plans. Santa Cruz has a particular reason to cheer, too, as the city has just become an all-digital delivery system area.
