D&B's information is dynamic. New and updated information flows
in and out daily. The table below shows daily and annual updates made to the
records in our files between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 1999.
And how volatile are U. S. businesses. By the end of 1999,
we will have deleted over 2,000,000 businesses from our file due to
discountenances and/or mergers, and will have added over 3,000,000 new business
entities to bring the U. S. file of active businesses over 11,000,000 unique
business locations.
