Okay the National Science Foundation came out with a report about the most connected cities. San Jose isn't in the top ten. San Francisco and New York are even less connected than Atlanta. Color me surprised. The BBC has an article about the NSF report. I can't find the actual NSF report online. According to the article "The higher up the list a city is placed, the higher economic growth it is likely to experience over the next seven years..."

Here's the list:

1. Chicago
2. Washington, DC
3. Dallas
4. Atlanta
5. New York
6. San Francisco
7. Los Angeles
8. Denver
9. Seattle
10. Houston
