Google has long championed that approach toward driving up broadband use, which would in turn boost its advertising business. The FCC later approved the plan. FCC rules prohibit employees from owning stock in companies the agency substantially regulates, including “any company or other entity engaged in the business of communication by wire or radio or in the use of the electromagnetic spectrum.”
Ms. Guendelsberger said that her speeches describe the FCC’s policies but that she wasn’t involved in making the decisions. Google also was at the heart of an episode at the Commerce Department’s Patent and Trademark Office, where a patent judge was part of a panel that gave Google a win while his wife worked for the company and held a financial interest in it.
Mr. Pyonin, reached by phone, declined to comment about the case, his wife’s employment or the family’s Alphabet investment. His wife didn’t respond to requests for comment. Mr. Pyonin referred calls to the Patent Office. As a result of the Journal inquiry, she said, the Commerce Department’s Office of the Inspector General will investigate the matter.

Ms. Jame didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Mr. DeLuca, who is currently on a military-related leave, said he has a financial adviser who “directs and guides my retirement investment decisions.” He declined to comment further.
