Comment (by virgil):

 Comparing the two data sets...

 #ASNs incaida: 73,256
 #ASNs inmaxmind: 53,354

 #ASNs only in both: 52,810
 #ASNs only incaida: 20,446
 #ASNs only inmaxmind: 544

 (1) On the above alone, theCaidadata is more comprehensive.

 (2) I also attach a list of 849 pairs of entries that,
 withinmaxmindclosely resemble each other (between 90-99%) yet incaidaare
 merged into a single entity. If we want an organization diversity measure,
 we need the entities to match.

 We can go deeper here.  But I feel the point has been demonstrated.  If
 firm A buys firm B, our org-diversity measure needs to consider firm A,
 not firm B.  This is what CAIDA does and MaxMind does not.
