Hostcount for October 1996

[Mirjam Kuehne <]

Dear all,

Here is the hostcount for October 1996. 

The table shows an increase since last month of almost 70,000 (or 2.1%) 
to a total of almost 3,360,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe.

Italy shows the highest increase for October with more than 20,000 hosts
more than in September.

The numbers for the UK dropped siginificantly. We don't know yet why.

Please note that there was a mistake in the hostcount for September:

The CHANGED column for GR and TR showed wrong numbers. This also
effected the total delta. Here are the correct figures:

CY         SOA     COUNTED        DUPL        REAL    CHANGE
============================================================
..
gr         432       10610         556       10054    -  220
tr         429       10613         590       10023    + 1091

         112312     3510565     220465     3290100    +179871

I am sorry for this mistake.
