Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.

Forbes released its annual survey of the nation’s most wired cities. Topping the list is Seattle,
the home of Amazon.com, Starbucks, and Microsoft (well, it's in a suburb).Surprisingly, none
of California's famed tech cities made the top 10. San Francisco dropped to No. 11 from No. 4
last year, mainly because of its lack of high-speed access options. But take heart,
San Franciscans: Forbes still says you're the most tech-savvy city in the country, since you
have the highest percentage of home broadband Internet users. Following right behind San
Francisco are San Diego and Los Angeles.

The top 10:
1. Seattle, Wash.
2. Atlanta. Ga.
3. Washington, D.C.
4. Orlando, Fla.
5. Boston, Mass.
6. Miami, Fla.
7. Minneapolis, Minn.
8. Denver, Colo.
9. New York City
10. Baltimore, Md.

I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
