Why not Portland? It's got a metro area of 2.1 million. It's as good as start as any other city. Besides, they have no pro football team - they gotta have something:)
Intel is a very large backer of WiMax. Intel has a very strong presence in Oregon. I'd imagine this has a lot to do with Portland being one of the first cities to get WiMax. Otherwise, the Seattle area would probably have been a more logical choice with so many tech firms based around there.
