It cites over 60,000 figures, 40 or more newcomers since 1960, and more than twice as many manufacturers as in 1960, with many firms entering after transistorization. It notes gains in capacity, lower costs, and expanding peripheral competition from 60 plus firms.
The multi billion dollar computer industry, once a raw idea, now includes over 60 system manufacturers and 4 000 related equipment firms. Between 1960 and 1968 installations rose twelvefold from 5 000 to 60 000.

Time sharing firms exceed 70, with 1968 sales around 100 million and rapid growth expected.
