It's kind of hard to believe that San Francisco has a low number of hotspots.

It's not to say that San Fran has a low number of hot-spots, but Seattle has an enormous amount. I live relatively close and can attest to this.

Hopefully those "three Ohio cities" will make their way into the top 10!

There should be a list of the top ten wired cites outside the city limits.

You just contradicted yourself. How can you be in a "wired city" if you're outside the city limits? By definition, you aren't _in_ the city. Try "wired metropolitian area" instead.

Forbes must be counting total number of hot spots, including free and pay service. I tell you what, fat chance finding free wi-fi in Boston. It's ridiculously sparse. And where's Austin in this list? We've got more free wi-fi than you can shake a stick at. You'll find it just about any place you can eat or drink. It's even at the garage _and_ car dealership when my car's getting work done!
