Maybe the relative density of SFO will speed deployment compared to some other cities? Like sprawling Atlanta, for one.

- WalterSear 11y ago"using existing fibre" :(
- ghouse 11y agoSFO is an airport. SF is a city.
- zymhan 11y agoSo is PDX. People still use it to refer to Portland. This is not a new concept.
- dragonwriter 11y agoUsing the FAA location identifier for the main airport serving a US city as an abbreviation for a city is a not-uncommon practice for cities that don't have other well-established abbreviations. So, PDX for Portland is consistent with that. SFO for San Francisco is not, for the reason pointed out in GP, just as IAD for Washington, D.C. wouldn't be.
- ShakataGaNai 11y agoSan FranciscO It works.
- cdeangel 11y agoHappens in Canada as well. People use YYZ to refer to Toronto pretty frequently.
- dragonwriter 11y ago> SFO is an airport. And, despite the name, not even in San Francisco.
- zymhan 11y agoAnd then there's ATL. It's the airport code and refers to the city, but the airport isn't in the city.
- 1024core 11y agoAh, but you haven't seen the SF bureaucracy, corruption and NIMBYism.
