<br>
thanks to all who contributed and apologies for not re-entering the<br>
thread earlier (I was actually drafting a reply on July 9, but a very<br>
volatile network made me lose it!)...<br>
<br>
anyway: I will respect those who may have a number and prefer not to share it ;)<br>
<br>
the methods presented range from "hey, we live in a real world, and<br>
public business records exist" type (which I would follow for the<br>
level of analysis I need with my colleague at present), to much<br>
higher-level overviews.<br>
I also like the latter, but I fear they might lean on the academic<br>
exercise side (which I'm not saying is wrong, but it's not what I was<br>
asking for in this context).<br>
<br>
to wrap up the discussion for now, I'd put it this way: with FOSS4GEU<br>
approaching, if there will be presentations including related<br>
information, or public discussions where such data is mentioned, I'll<br>
be glad if the list will be notified.<br>

Best regards!<br>

</span>p.s. ...FYI, the number which was estimated in Italy (and proposed in<br>
a public discussion at the end of a presentation, so I think it's ok<br>
to re-propose it here), was 5 MEUR in 2009.<br>
