I dont doubt it. I remember them popping up in the
CIDR report before they got shut down. That problem is
an operator problem.

In the top 100 global, all are service providers and the
1 Gov entity. In the top 100 North America, all are service
providers and 3 Gov entities.

The classical definition of service provider is safe for
now.
