Thanks Graham. I did give the trial a whirl last year, and while I didn't
really like the software itself much (looks like it may well have evolved
by now), I did like the flexibility of the data types and the number of
exchanges included.
However my biggest misgiving was the business model they apparently use. I
can't understand how they can guarantee themselves cash-flow (and therefore
continued operation) by charging a single up front fee (the cost equivalent
of 4 or 5 years data provided by more traditional subscription methods such
as Netquote and Cooltrader, though I note BF also has an alternative annual
subscription rate of $325/pa!). To my way of thinking, this means continued
viability of the feed is most likely afforded by the uptake of new
customers (who's gonna pay $325/pa?). Should the company suffer any
financial setbacks before value is actually delivered (which, as shown
above, takes some considerable time compared to other products), I see
little protection afforded the existing customer.
I am very interested in how you and others perceive this unusual business
model for an ongoing service.
Regards,
Mark
