The BFL wait list thread has just under 50TH/s of orders. I think someone else around here claimed that Inaba (or BFL_Josh) said they were closing in on 90TH/s of preorders. The bASIC is closing in in 35TH/s of preorders. The Avalon preorders were around 18TH/s.

For my personal calculations, I'm assuming a 200TH/s network by the end of 2012, and then increasing by 20% per month after that. You can do the math to figure out the rest.
Won't happen unless ASIC devices become extremely cheap, much faster, and the BTC/USD rate increases.

Otherwise, your assumption sets you at 1.7PH/s by  the end of 2013. Meaning that sexy Mini Rig a user just purchased for $30,000 would net an epic $870 per month after electricity costs.
Sorry, I should clarify. I'm only estimating a 20% increase for the next 3-6 months. Past that, it's darn near impossible to even estimate what it will be like. My numbers will be off, but I'm trying to go high, so I don't oversell myself, and set myself up for disappointment.
