It sorta looks like Lyft pushed this out ahead of schedule based on Uber's announcement. The website says it's SF-only and iPhone-only. Which, if so, is a great testament to their ability to respond quickly. And also, as a user of

In SF, WebPass (and MonkeyBrains, from what I hear) are great alternative ISPs. Both do point-to-point wireless. My building shares a symmetric 100Mbps connection to WebPass, and I pretty reliably see 30-40Mbps on my wired network. And I pa
