I counted 2101 lines in the Italian LIRs page[*] and 4302 in the German one[†] 
(including ~20 lines of header/ footer).

Unfortunately, those lists say nothing about what kind of services each ISP 
does.  I wonder if filling those tables with attributes that would be useful to 
prospect customers is something that RIPE members want RIPE to do...
