]]> Wireless Laptop - Flickr - the illlustrious untitled 13 In the latest annual Forbes survey of America’s most wired cities, Washington, DC came in at number 11, an improvement from it’s 14th place ranking last year.

The rankings are based on a combination of the adoption of broadband Internet access in the home, the number of companies providing high-speed Internet access in the area and the number of public Wi-Fi wireless Internet hot spots per capita in 30 major cities.

For the second year in a row, Atlanta won the honors, with Seattle close behind.
