I was in the same area during October - it's connected to the
innitiative funded by Google, and parts of it is based on Meraki
hardware/system - I think this GROW-Net project is also funded by Google
through their academic program.
Google dicided to cover SF in wireless, and they are working on it, but
it is not really an 'open network model' (it's much more like the FON
approach) ...
