thanks, that's useful, but how up-to-date are the numbers?

this shows 145,000 for peru while I've seen numbers of 260k or 400k listed 
in other places (just to pick an example I've heard about)

it also doesn't show some deployments that I've heard about (New York), 
while listing some places with insignificant numbers of laptops (500 or 
less)
