 | | Surprising I am surprised that Rhode Island is in the list. I haven't really heard anything regarding wifi with that state. The other states do not surprise me. | |

Benton, AR | Re: Surprising well I guess it would only take one tower to cover the entire state so not like it would make much news lol. That state should be a county not a state ha ha. | |

Louisville, KY | Re: Surprising Haha, it also has a population density 20 times greater than that of Arkansas, and Providence has a population twice the size of your largest town.

Benton, AR | Re: Surprising Oh I don't doubt that my kids grandparents are from Johnston RI, Just saying it would not take much to cover the state in Wimax, Land wise no doubting that. I guess you failed to see that it was posted out of humor not knocking the state. We pick on the family from up there and they pick on us. Still the state is more of a town than a state. Kinda like an over sized district of colombia. | |

Benton, AR | Re: Surprising oh and you obviously did not look at population before spitting things out, Providence has about 10-15k people less than Little Rock. No biggy they sure can cram those people in there for people per square mile. | |

New York, NY | This could be the dumbest thing I have ever read! Let me see if I understand CDW's "ranking" system. They have determined what STATES have invested the most in wifi based on CONSUMER purchases??? Move along, nothing to see here.....

Read it again.
from the article:
CDW Government Inc., a subsidiary of the $6.3 billion CDW Corp., examined the purchase records of several thousand of its public-sector customers from 2000 to 2005 and came up with a ranking of states. | |

Even still, that also includes all public companies (corporate) purchases in those states. So for instance, a state could have a very large HQ of a publicly traded company residing there. If that company purchased lots of wifi gear then this "study" would reflect it as THAT STATE having purchased the gear. I think that in order for this study to be more accurate they should have only noted the amount of purchases made directly by govt. organizations.

Public sector = government.
Publicly held companies are known as private sector. | |
|
| | Huh? They based the ranking only on their own customers? That's a scientific survey. | |
