Well - if they're not paying for a storefront, it could easily be someone with a day job who's hoping someone, somewhere, will bite.

As for 'fastest growing', well, if they went from one user to five in a year that's a 400% growth rate. Sounds a bit seedy for a use of statistics?

Well, there are constant TV commercials for a 'new' phone company coming from an ISP - and they say they're the fastest growing. By percentages, the smaller you are the easier it is to have a high growth rate. Lies, Damn Lies, etc.
