I recall, years ago, a listing of the top 500 telcom companies. The

that the average phone number of these companies was up slightly
from last year.

That is absolutely priceless. Thank you. Did they report on the average
ZIP code? Also up slightly I'd think.

Those averages undoubtedly have some real, if tenuous and complex,
correlations with things one might be directly interested in.
