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.....
Not CONSUMERS but PUBLIC-SECTOR CUSTOMERS . Big difference there. 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 != public company.

Public sector = government.

Publicly held companies are known as private sector.
