"the underserved San Francisco markets of Bayview and Portola"

Next time you fly over the midwest, look at density. If you can see your neighbor, you're probably not underserved.

I don't think he meant low density, he meant that even though there are a bunch of people the incumbent telcos don't actually offer service there. The Bay Area's internet is surprisingly fragmented. We couldn't get fixed broadband at the old office when I know for a fact we were less than 100ft from municipal 10 gig fiber.
