It's a badly phrased question. They want the information so that a third party can independently verify the subscriber base.

1: dribble, snore, what? As an aside my friend fell asleep almost as soon as we returned to their house after lunch, much to the embarrassment of his wife. Very funny: he was snoring very loudly. 2: I think you'll find that it is a) a State[^] and b) sovereign[^]. (sorry: first link was incorrect) 3: Ah well, there you go then. 4: I would have thought you'd have gotten this by now.
