Survey of large databases

From

I ran across this link, it's a list of "the worlds largest databases".
http://www.wintercorp.com/vldb/2003_TopTen_Survey/TopTenWinners.asp


Now, according to our FAQ, somebody out there has a 32 TB database, so
ISTM we ought to be able to get PostgreSQL added to this list. I looked
over the qualifications, and the only stickler I see is that it must be
a "commercial implementation", which seems a little vague, but I think
we have a few foreign telecoms using PostgreSQL in a commercial setting
that would qualify for this. Here's the full requirements in case anyone
is interested in following up (since none of my implementations are
quite that large... yet :) )

Yeah, but we haven't been able to get them to return our e-mails/phone calls
to date.  So until we do, we can't use that one.

I'm trying to contact these guys. They work down the road. I'm getting the
distinct impression, however, that they don't want to be contacted.
