Well, we got AS1312 sometime before 1996 (the *last changed* timestamp is
19960207), that sort of implies that 1311 other organizations were grabbing AS
numbers before that. And since an AS number has no real use for anything other
than BGP, that implies some 1,300 organizations doing BGP in the 1995
timeframe.
Look to see who got the first 1000 or 1500 or so AS numbers, that's who was
doing BGP back then.
