Hi textman,
The following is the result of my research for the number of UK
government websites:
"Alan Mather, head of the Cabinet Office's e-delivery team, last week
made the case for centralisation. Mather estimated that the government
has more than 4,000 websites, containing some 5 million pages. "That
is costing half a billion pounds a year just to keep them ticking
over."
The result, said Mather, is that citizens can't find their way around..."

"For some reason, governments seem to love creating lots and lots of
websites. It is estimated that there are some 4,000 UK government
websites..."
Have you got too many websites?

"As the count of government websites rose inexorably ? from 1,600 in
mid-2002 to 2,500 a year later and nearly 4,000 by mid-2005 ? citizen
interest in all but a few moved in the opposite direction."
