The INA flag in the nodelist will probably list hundreds but not all will
still be online. Another guide would be the telnet bbs guide which states:
Added in the past 30 days: 37
TOTAL SYSTEMS LISTED     : 514

Good to know, the problem here is the providers are not talking about it.

I would hazard a guess and say most of the growth is due to 5G.
