Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - - the January, 2000 data had to be reused for uk due to problems with co.uk. since that time. - the December, 2000 data had to be reused for dk due to technical problems the last two months. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by running a local count: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Hrant Dadivanyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg EUN Hostcount Admin es ES NIC fr Annie Renard gr Dimitris Zisiadis hr Ivan Maric ie Mike Norris il Netvision NOC is Marius Olafsson it Maurizio Martinelli Daniele Vannozzi li Marcel Schneider lt Daiva Tamulioniene lu Alain Frieden mk Goran Muratovski mt Robert Sultana no Havard Eidnes pl Mirek Luc pt Joao Pagaime ro Eugenie Staicut ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov sk Lubos Elias sm Maurizio Martinelli Daniele Vannozzi tr METU Hostcount Admin uk Robert Stone Kevin Hoadley If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
