64 Wi-Fi hotspots within a five mile radius

Austin is a city that has seen strong Wi-Fi adoption for quite some time. I checked with the new JIWIRE service launched earlier this month. There are 64 official hotspots within a five mile radius around our house. Of course not counting all open access points that one could expect near campus. I'm impressed. This is a hotspot density that is not yet very common across the country.
