What we add

Counted facts

A dictionary definition doesn't say how often a term is actually used. This counts it across the graph -- articles that mention it, open source projects tagged with it, and the organizations tagged with it, listed here alongside the count. A term has no peer companies, and nothing here claims otherwise.

Organizations tagged 28 Organizations Ashland Fiber Network, Azteca Communications, Breitband Korn, CityofAmmonFiber, Conxx, DaDuKouQu Node Access User Network, EPB of Russellville, ERC Broadband, FiberNet Monticello, Fort Dodge Fiber, GigabitNow, GlasCom Salzlandkreis GmbH, Glenwood Springs Community Broadband Network, Lit Communities, Morristown Utility Systems FiberNET, Municipal Broadband Networks, MW Broadband committee, Norwood Light Electric & Broadband, NYC-Net, Omni Fiber Related terms
