They do offer delayed data for any exchange that the user doesn't want RT
data, just like QCom. However, as of now they aren't offering the emini in
RT for free with the delayed data package, even though the exchange allows
this. I just don't want to go through the hassle of signing up with them
(and cancel charges on my credit card if necessary...) if I can't compare
the emini to Qcom in RT without getting hit with exchange fees again. I
don't think comparing the emini with one in RT and one delayed is a valid
way of doing it. Hopefully they will soon take advantage of the free RT
data from the exchange and offer potential customers a truly free way to
evaluate it, just as Qcom does. Anybody else using RT internet data should
encourage them to do this as well, the more competitors the better...
