In cases like this, what percentage of those (JDSU for example) calls are naked?

* Many stocks such as JDSU have over a billion dollars worth of in the money calls versus
* 1 or 2 million of in the money puts.

With all the data processing power today, the percentage of options written naked ought to be known daily, no? Undoubtedly, like short interest, it's in the interest of some people to not make the info widely known.
