The Size of OSPF Network

Dear all,

For the big ISP networks (tier 1 or 2) that happens to use OSPF, what is the typical
number of OSPF areas in the network? According to OSPF books, a typical area is
consisted of 200 routers. Are those guidelines ever followed in real ISP network
deployment?

Any input is highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Hansen
