What I think is missing here is where providers have a standard system they have used with the same hardware before May 11th.
These were decisions made beforehand, no change to deployment, or not covered by an area of specified security interest.
How many people on this list would have changed the manufacturer / type of equipment used in the NOC / core network that meets the threshold in 6 months?
IANAL
However from my lay reading of the guidance and exemptions continuing to use the exact same systems as were decided on and deployed prior to 11 May would not require a notice and replacing dead hardware with the same thing doesn?t require this notice either.
So I am not sure that a low number of notifications is an odd thing unless people had major changes to their core and a short run time to make these changes.
Others may want to chime in with their experiences.

And with the numbers talked about so far I think its pretty clear that some organisations out there aren't following this new legislation.
