This also doesn't take into account the large amount of dial-up users that still exist out there...
Maybe that's because it's a broadband analysis. :huh:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18509366 Fri, 15 Jun 2007 00:24:25 EDT Re: Hmmm error? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18508229 rawgerz : »point-topic.com/content/gbs/faq.htm#2

How does Point Topic collate the data?

Point Topic has a rolling research programme utilising well over 400 different sources per quarter for updating information on individual operators' and countries' broadband subscriber numbers.

We use company press releases, media reports, visit websites, contact particular operators and regulatory bodies directly through our growing network of contacts built up over many years.

Many operators still do not release quarterly reports but only annual ones. Some also aggregate subscriber trends into overall totals, avoiding break-downs by technology. In these cases, Point Topic has continued conservatively estimating broadband figures. Important sources for estimated totals are partial or earlier reports by the operators themselves.

Individual numbers are mediciously referenced and contain a brief desciption of whether they are primary or estimated numbers.

I don't think I would trust a source that did not spell check their FAQ's! :o

As for the total number of people who use the Internet? I'd say triple or even quadruple that number.

hmm, it would be rather interesting to see just how many total Internet (no matter the technology) users there are out there...note, users, not connections...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18507639 Thu, 14 Jun 2007 19:09:57 EDT
