[Apologies for duplicates]

Dear colleagues,

For the past 20 years, the RIPE NCC has maintained Hostcount, a
measurement of the number Address Resource Records (A RRs) in country
code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) in the RIPE NCC service region.

The aim of this project has been to gain insight into the size and the
growth rate of the Internet. It has been clear for some time though,
that Hostcount no longer provides a reliable indication of these things.
Therefore, as of January 2011, the RIPE NCC will discontinue Hostcount.

More background information on this project and its closure can be found
on RIPE Labs:

Kind Regards,
Mark Dranse
Information Services Manager, RIPE NCC
