I agree, data fees should come down. I particularly resent paying an extra
$50 a month to bring my maximum symbol count at eSignal up to 1000 from
500. I suspect the only thing that will get the datasuppliers' attention
is competition. I'm seriously considering moving to PCQUOTE when my year
with eSignal ends in April. My only concern is relative reliability of the
data. eSignal has been reasonably solid. I've heard some worrying reports
about PCQUOTE. Hopefully by April, either PCQUOTE will have solved their
quality issues or dbc will have dropped the surcharge. -uf
