US consulate in Hyderabad?

The US Congress has passed a bill that allows for opening one more consulate in India, in either Hyderabad or Bangalore. Now Bush concealed agenda during his visit to Hyderabad raises speculation of new consulate in Hyderabad.

I feel geographic and demographic features suit Hyderabad better. Also Hyderabad consulate would relieve the waiting time at all other US consulates, whereas a Bangalore one would only help Madras. With AP's NRI influence in US, they can lobby better for their cause.
