It wouldn't surprise me if the US figures were
even lower. There's
already been a comment about the hits for South Africa being
ridiculously low. The US national domain, .us, is relatively uncommon,
and many people from other countries use a .com, .org, .net or even .gov
domain. One wonders to what extent that has been factored into the
statistics.
statistics are based on IP data from RIRs, not domains (which we don't log
or do lookups for).
however, the current small sample size introduces possible errors from
problems during log collection (now resolved, but will take a while to be
removed from the statistics).
