> Today we have 10 million scanned locations around the world, and over 1 million of those are activated and available for use with our VPS service. We receive about 1 million fresh scans each week

Wait, they get a million a week but they only have a total of 10 million, ie 10 days worth? Is this a typo or am I missing something?

Scans are not always of new locations. They have ~10m established nodes and they get ~1m node scans per week that might be new and might be old.
