The article seems to equivocate the web with the internet. If CNN doesn't realize the difference matters, how useful is the rest of their analysis?
I also question how they would define a single "page," if they really did mean the web. That kind of a metric is so rife with nuances and varieties that I don't see how such research could be carried out meaningfully.
I always use this query to count how many pages does Google have in the index

http://www.google.nl/search?q=a

It's not the same thing (some studies estimate nonindexed to indexed pages as 500:1) but it says ~27.5B pages.
