Recent surveys suggest that most or all normal galaxies host a massive black
hole with 1/100 to 1/1000 of the visible mass of the spheroid of the galaxy.
Various lines of argument suggest that these galaxies have merged at least once
in our past lightcone, and that the black holes have also merged. This leads to
a merger rate of massive black holes of about 1/\yrs.
