I assume you mean Internet access providers when you write ISP, and not those who provide e.g. hosting services etc. Hosting service companies crop up all the time. I don't have the numbers, but I'm working for a medium-sized outfit in that business, and we've seen new competitors cropping up more often in 2011 and 2012 than was typical for the previous 5-10 years. Fortunately, hosting providers can often make do with a small number of IP addresses, comparatively speaking. Unfortunately, due to Facebook, a LOT of end users want SSL connectivity for their websites (blogs and whatnot). -- Jan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
