Considering that many of those low-income areas are south part of the city (Bayview, Visitacion Valley, etc.), I would assume that my Bernal Heights home should be covered. That said, it's hard to beat the $20/month, 3Mbps connection that AT&T; provides me today, but it sure will make wireless roaming around the neighborhood (or the whole city, for that matter) way more convenient. I guess I can shelve those plans to put a yagi antenna on the roof pointed at the local coffee shop... I wonder if this will cover the entire 7 x 7 grid of the city limits.
