They will drop in the future because the Internet solution is the way to go.
You must know that the next datafeed generation will be distributed though the internet in less than maybe 2 or 3 years, leaving the satellite solution as a solution from the past that will fade with time.
Again, they have made the good choice, and the Prosuite development has found a new direction in the TS Pro platform ( let me recall that TS pro is a local based softare, strictly equivalent to TS2000i regarding to EL and main functionalities, that it WORKS offline too, and that only the database is on a distant server. Even the data collected are store on your HD, as your studies, strategies, /program directory).
This also can be seen as a way to defeat software piracy.

Omega also bought WOW for other reasons.
Maybe they could have been competitors, but the fact is that they developed something interesting to broadcast data from the internet.
So if Omega killed a competitor and improved its technology in the same time, I cannot see anything to say wrong, if t this is for their benefit and the benefit of the TS community users.
As usual...
Sincerely,
