I saw a node attached to a light pole about 1000 feet away, I'm going to go see if it gives me anything. I'm not sure of their coverage map but it's said to be growing every day.

What speeds are they offering? I forget.

Do they have plans to extend this to other areas in the future? I imagine it'd cost a lot.

Currently a balmy 67 degrees, winds north 7mph. Humidity 68%. Nine Inch Nails rocked the house last week. Made out with a really cute girl at a downtown bar, she looks strikingly like sarah jessica parker. My cats hate it here, though.

There are more requirements to being a lifer than just having no life.

Suburbia dude it's just like any of these towns less the amphitheater. Shallow Alto and Atherton is being consumed by google instant-millionares now driving housing and rent up. I had the chance to go work there a few years ago and I declined. Stupid me.

I do believe they envision this to be a nationwide thing eventually. We do it here locally in downtown Greenville SC and it's great.

Well I drove around and sniffed a couple hundred SSID's, none of which look googley. Guess I need to email them.
