While we may be getting dtn's attention, how about asking for a subscription
option for eminis instead of the entire cme, like the competitors have now.
I asked that two years ago and they said they were thinking about it. Just
8 days ago when I paid my bill I asked again, the answer, "we are thinking
about it". The real answer is, to do so would require reprogramming of
their datafeed software which to them is a major major thing. It just isn't
going to happen. I've had two trading friends drop dtn sat in the last
year. So, while registering the data outage complaint, also suggest a
competitive feed option.
