Has anyone ever done a reasonable estimate of:

1) How many people around the world have access to Netnews

2) How many people around the world actually read Netnews

3) How many people around the world actually read specific newsgroups

4) 1) 2) and 3), substitutinh "in the US" for "around the world"

I realize these are not easy questions to find answers to, especially with
new sites proliferating like fruitflies, but if anyone has reasonable 
estimates, I'd love to see them.
