Seattle Is America's Most Wired City

by Peter Mychalcewycz on January 23, 2009 at 03:10 PM


Atlanta, Georgia has lost the title of America's most wired city. According to Forbes, the most connected city in the United States is now Seattle, Washington. Forbes' annual list of most wired cities has been around since 2007, and Atlanta held the coveted top spot for the first two years.

Seattle took first place as a result of the city's increased broadband use and its plethora of Wi-Fi hot spots (some of the major categories on which cities are rated). The top ranking is hardly a surprise, considering Seattle is the home of Microsoft and Amazon.com. Atlanta came in at number two on the list, while Washington D.C. catapulted from 11th place to a respectable 3rd. [From: Forbes.com]
