well, who’d a thunk that chicago would get top
honors as the
most “connected” city
in the u.s.? of course, you’ll need to take the following with an
appropriately sized grain of salt – just because there are big, fat pipes all over town doesn’t mean that you can get cheap, ubiquitous broadband:
“Chicago came out top because there were more net paths
to and from it than any other city.”“History is also at work in helping Chicago to the top spot. The
city was the site of one of the early internet nodes and has become
a place where a lot of data traffic is swapped between
networks.”
