Subscriber Values
|
[February 22, 2001] |
 |
Dial-up, cable modem, or free Internet access subscriber—the value of each client continues to change—be it a residential or business connection.
We list public companies only and do not include ISPs that are part of much larger firm, like MSN, for example. Current subscriber counts are derived from ISP-Planet's ISP Rankings with the exception of AOL, for which we use worldwide subscriber counts here. WSRN.com is the source for market data.
History
In response to readers' requests, we now provide historical data for the
subscriber values here
.
Transaction data
Third party subscriber value research
from MCG Capital
Corporation averages the ISPs that MCG has bought and sold in the past
year. Revenue per subscriber per month is particularly interesting data.
