Right, so that reduces the estimate a bit.  And if you factor in the keys  
that are expired or revoked, the number may be significantly less.

I'v read about S/MIME type encryption methods that use certificates. And  
these certificates are created and registered with an "authority". When I  
was looking for something to use with MS Outlook for business, I only came  
across solutions that required payment.

Maybe big-business environments use the above solution.

But PGP management is much simpler and gives total angency to the user.

I am a little surprised pgp is not more ubiquitous as it *should* be.

What type of business is/was your involvement?
