How an edition is made
A program writes each edition from the figures that the site shows in that month, with fixed sentence rules.
A month keeps the figures of its last update. A change is between this edition and the edition before. It is not a change in one filing.
A row number gives the place in the table. A table gives size and volume, or a market figure by state. It does not rate a plan or a provider.
