This niche blog has now been merged into the The Wireless Report (www.thewirelessreport.com), which covers all things wireless.
A new survey by JiWire has placed San Francisco and New York as two of the top 10 global cities with hotspots. San Francisco currently has 801 hotspots and New York has 643. The rest of the top 10 is as follows:
Top 10 Cities
2. Notice Korea got #1, #6, and #9. Yet they only have 50 million people.
The numbers are similar for broadband usage as well. (Korea #1, etc.)
Adaptibility will decide who stays on top in the future. We Americans needs to learn to embrace changes in technology, or we'll fall permanently behind.

10. I'm pretty dumbstruck that Singapore just came in at rank 8, 1 rank after new york. Why? Singapore has a phenomenal educational and technological system established. Although it's not as grand as new york, its reputation still stands as one of the best reputable systems in the world. I've known that korea will be on top, for a couple of reasons. Internally, they are struggling to become recognized as a 'super-power'. The only direct way to achieve this is by becoming technologically mobilized.

12. Wow! Korea have 3 cities included on the top 10. And I would agree with "green tea fan" that Koreans are the top online gamers.

13. Wow thats very interesting statistics, i would like to know where Thailand stands?? i currently live in Bangkok, Thailand, and i know Wi-Fi has started to boom, but i feel we may be still a little far behind most countries, and the leading WI FI provider is "TRUE", which seems to be very good.

16. I wonder what the numbers are like now. The Asian countries embrace their technology while it seems that restrictions and lawsuits are hindering ours.

1. Would be curious to see that same list of stats of open networks (i.e. users did not secure them) and stats of what encryption methods used for each city. Whare the trends city-to-city?
