On 31 March 2007 I updated the list of US cities and counties with wireless networks (as well as those with networks in deployment or planning stages). Download the PDF from here.
As of 31 March 2007, there were 340 cities and counties in the US in the deployment / planning phase and with networks up and running. If you add the number of cities and counties that are seriously considering municipal Wi-Fi, that number rises to 389.
