OOOPS! <blush> you are right. But, isn't the point two fold? While NSFnet stats were available for another year is anyone going to seriously blame ISOC for not having them on display a year after the fact? They are surely available some where. Many reading this list would likely know where in an instant. I'd turn to an Altavista search and to the NSF web stite to find them. second point. For a year now nothing has been available and given the nature of the new market place, how could one reasonably expect them to be available except by looking a through put figures at the MAEs. MAE East in particular. ********************************************************************* Gordon Cook, Editor & Publisher Subscriptions: Individ-ascii $85 The COOK Report on Internet Individ. hard copy $150 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA Small Corp & Gov't $200 (609) 882-2572 Corporate $350 Internet: cook@cookreport.com Corporate Site Lic. $650 http://pobox.com/cook/ for new COOK Report Glossary of Internet terms ********************************************************************* On Mon, 1 Apr 1996 rboivie@VNET.IBM.COM wrote:
Gordon, Small point. The NSFnet backbone service ended on April 30, 1995 (not '94). Rick Boivie rboivie@vnet.ibm.com
commercial internet matured and the federal gov't withdrew. Last traffic reports march 1994!? Of course! This was the month before the last gov't funded backbone (NSFnet) was turned off. Since then the traffic statistics have been the **proprietary** possessions of Sprint, MCI, UUNET, ANS, etc.
