Wireless Cities

Broadband Cities

Posted by samc on June 18th, 2007

Austrailia’s The Age reviews ten cities around the world that have great broadband. The top 10 digital cities were ranked according to Broadband speed, cost and availability, Wireless internet access, Technology adoption, Government support for technology, Education and technology culture and Future potential.

They include:

  1. Seoul, Korea
  2. Singapore
  3. Tokyo
  4. Hong Kong
  5. Stockholm
  6. San Francisco and Silicon Valley
  7. Tallinn, Estonia
  8. New York
  9. Beijing
  10. New Songdo City, Korea

The list is somewhat arbitrary. For example, Since it began about a year and a half ago, Taipai’s Wi-Fi system has grown rapidly to become the world’s largest, with more than 4,200 antennas and counting. Philadelphia, and State-wide wireless projects in the U.S. aren’t mentioned, while New York and Beijing aren’t known as broadband leaders. A more rigourous analysis is available at Intelligent Communities of the Year and the Digital City Awards.
