Anyone know of an approximate # of people that use Andrew system in the
US(or the world)??  I just need an approximate # of people so if you are
knowledgeable about Andrew, please send me e-mail.  If there are some
interest, I will post it here.

In reviewing the ATK survey data, it if difficult to estimate the total
number. Certain sites (notably CMU and MIT) have made it available to
large numbers of students (~ 4000 each), but there is no easy way to
know how many of them are actually using it, though the number at CMU is
probably respectable . Dartmouth has reported 500 users and the
University of Nebraska has reported 100. A couple of companies have
users in the hundreds, while most of the four dozen sites that responded
each have from 2 - 30 researchers playing with it. I also know of at
least one commercial product based on ATK that easily accounts for
thousands of more users, though probably none of them know they are
using ATK.
