Most Wired Cities in the U.S. – 2008

What’s the most wired city in the United States ?
Do not guess, you might end up getting the wrong one.

Surprisingly, its Atlanta. This is the result of a survey by Forbes.com for the Most Wired Cities in America for the year 2008. It is mentioned that their calculations were based on three factors – the percentage of Internet users with high-speed access, the number of service providers within the city and availability of public wi-fi hotspots.

Although Atlanta tops the list in the number of users with high-speed net and service providers, its Portland, Oregon that is equipped with the most public wireless hotspots.

Here’s a google map put together from results of the survey.
