So there's *NO* public data to back it up that you know of.. They claim to have several times more customers/users/whatever than even AOL, and *there is no data* to back that up? The truly interesting question would be: How much of their traffic is "value-added", and not just acting as a caching name server for the current root? If they have 150M users, but only 379 of them use it as anything other than a cache for the existing root, they're no more interesting than any of the other alt.roots that you label "peanuts". But I doubt we'll get any hard data of *that* detail when they haven't even quantified how many users they have. > But I would not discount new.net's claims. I'm sure they can support > their claims. At the very least they do have market share in root server > operations irrespective of the means used to calculate it. No data, but they want you to believe them anyhow.
