Seattle Tops List for Wireless Web Access
Huzzah! The Austin-San Marcos, TX. area makes the list as number 3!
An AP newswire story by Rachel Konrad on ABC Business News reports that:
Seattle and San Francisco are the most "unwired cities" in America top spots for computer junkies who send e-mail and surf the Web at restaurants, libraries or public plazas.
Metropolitan Seattle percolated past the San Francisco Bay area this year thanks to an abundance of Starbucks Corp. outlets, which have wireless "hot spots" where patrons linger over latte and laptops, according to Intel Corp.'s annual ranking. Seattle also benefited from wireless access at its Pike Place Market and the Space Needle.
San Francisco finished second, thanks to wireless hubs at bars, convention centers, office parks and strip malls from Oakland to San Jose. Hundreds of residents build wireless access towers on their roofs, providing free connections for neighbors.
