Amended from Daily Wireless:
Seattle is now the most unwired city in America, according to Intel Corporation's third annual "Most Unwired Cities" survey released today.
In a rapidly changing wireless landscape, Seattle narrowly unseated former top position holders San Francisco (2004's Most Unwired City) and Portland, Ore. (2003's Most Unwired City).
Seattle-area residents can now stay connected,
informed and entertained throughout the city, from the original
Starbucks at Pike Place Market and the Bank of America Tower to
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and the Space Needle.
