I was under the impression that BMI is phasing out their data feed and,
since Signal and BMI are both owned by DBC, they are trying to encourage
everyone to use e-signal via the Internet as they make more on this type of
feed. I changed because of this and it would seem that this fact is a
reality.
Any thoughts on this?
