Seattle wants to be the leader in WiFi technology. WiMax is one of the 'big' bets they are hoping will do that. SF also has a open coverage based WiFi project so look for a little friendly competition.
Seattle... known for coffee... and now WiFi!  |

| Apparently the survey doesn't actually count hot zones?!?
From the link someone gave it sounds like they need a business name to tie the spot to. Is this done by someone selling routers?
I have yet to figure out why Spokane never appears anywhere on this type of thing. 100 sq blocks of downtown (pretty much all of it) are a hot zone. |

| Probably because Intel's report revolves around WiMAX which isn't yet a "suitable" protocol for hotspot/hotzone endeavors. Perhaps an unbiased report is needed not by a manufacturer nor financially influenced support of a certain standard but a third-party partisan.
Just my two cents of course.
