We have stale information there, and comparing what I know about some of
my regional competitors, and what it says in Boardwatch I would not call 
it accurate, at least for the small regional ISP's. It seems to keep a
good pulse on the large ones. In my local market (area code 423)
it pulls up 1745 ISP's, most of which are Virtual and have no presence
here, not even advertising.
