Assuming that's accurate it's indeed interesting information 
about the current state of affairs, though it doesn't answer the 
question of how that changed over time and how it's going to 
continue to change (the latter of which being the basis for my 
speculation).
Have they released that information somewhere officially (with 
additional information about how they acquired the data, etc.)?
