Subscriber Values
Dial-up, cable modem, or free Internet access subscriber—the value of each client continues to change as the market's rebound lifts company values across the board.

[June 15, 2001] |
 |
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.
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. Note, however,
that the rate of ISP
deals is declining drastically.
