Did they just drove around the city with netstumbler and reported open (ie unsecured or public) APs?
Then I would rank NYC pretty high.

About the Survey
"Survey findings for the 2005 “Most Unwired Cities” are based on the number of commercial and public or “free” wireless access points (hotspots), airports with wireless access, and broadband availability. The survey also included community wireless access points, local wireless networks and wireless e-mail devices. The metro areas included in the survey were the 100 largest in the United States and based on the definitions of Metropolitan Statistical Areas from the U.S. Census Bureau. The data was also calculated at the per-capita level to determine how many people share hotspots within a given city or region. Data was collected from a variety of industry sources between Jan. 1 and April 15, 2005 and weighted across a 100-point scale to allow comparison between categories".

There are programs that can be used that creat fake access points. Maybe seattle has lots of those fake access points in business for security reasons.
