Well, sort of.  It may take time for blockchain.info to figure out the latest players, but I note that they now break out BitFury as well as the mysterious 21 Inc. and Telco 214.  Link:

https://blockchain.info/pools (https://blockchain.info/pools)

Summary for today:

F2Pool       21%
AntPool      18%
BitFury      12%

so they were part of the 37 % of unknown network, there is still 8% unknown left, but at least now we know who were the other 29%

actually one or more of the chinese pools is/are increased in % so they were counted for -9%(i think an error?), since bitfury, 21 inc and telco sum is only 20%

Yeah, it seems that way.
I am really curious to know what equipment they are using.
Have they made their own ASIC chips and miners, or did they buy them from another manufatcurer?

It would make sense if they made their own equipment.  If you have a large scale operation you should be able to do this at a reasonable cost, and it also should be very possible to make machines that out perform the publicly available equipment.

I think bitcoin mining is very healthy now and the main reason is that we pass the pool era and now we are going to bitcoin farm era.
