 == A proposal for an alternative list == 
 Several omissions from the original list are noted above and the lack of public access to Datamonitor makes uncovering the definitions used by the source difficult, undermining verifiability.  These comments have received no response from the original author. 

 Addressing these issues (omission, definition, verifiability) would seem pretty important.  Articles on several companies make claims to being ""the largest global technology company.""  A reference within Wikipedia to point to would help align these articles with one another.  I've posted a short list based on public information compiled by the UK government and provided a clear definition of scope  key for any article on the vague topic of the ""technology"" industry.  I'd propose striking the original table. 

 Depending on what direction discussion goes (if there is any), I will expand the table to include employment, market capitalization, and R&D; expenditures and extended to perhaps 25 companies.  There are also historical reports available, so additional tables showing, say, five year snapshots back to 1990 are possible.  "
