A few months ago I started trying to measure the size of Internet
providers in terms of numbers of accounts. A very crude measure, but it
is the most accessible data. I plan to eventually guesstimate revenues
as well.
Updated versions of this data will be published in _Meta_, a for-profit
electronic magazine (finger me for more information). Please send me
any corrections and updates you wish to see reflected in this data.
