Subject: How big is the Internet?
Researchers have complained for years about the lack of good statistics abo=
ut the internet for a couple fo decades, since the end of NSFNET statistics=
.
What are the current estimates about the size of the Internet, all IP netwo=
rks including managed IP and private IP, and all telecommunications includi=
ng analog voice, video, sensor data, etc?
CAIDA, ITU, Telegeography and some vendors like Cisco have released forecas=
ts and estimates. There are occasional pieces of information stated by com=
panies in their investor documents (SEC 10-K, etc).
