Among the top 15 wired cities are Washington D.C., Dallas and Houston, Texas, and Salt Lake City, Utah. "Comprehensive technological infrastructures will help cities and towns remain competitive and aid in attracting businesses, according to the authors: 'The structure of the Internet backbone illustrates a strong relationship between the concentration of information industries and physical and virtual telecommunications infrastructure,' they write. 'Although there is no clear evidence that merely providing access to telecommunications infrastructure will generate economic development, at the very least it is a prerequisite for competition in attracting and fostering new businesses.'"
