They are probably losing money, and I bet the number of TS2000i
subscribers is shrinking (as they switch to TS7) to the point DTN
doesn't care anymore.
The other reason is that online data delivery is getting more and more
reliable as more people sign up for cable and DSL --to datafeed services that
offer refresh capabilities.
Being suspicious of online reliability, I held onto DTN as long as I
could, until the GS started to have more strange behavior and loss of
data. There were no more DTN patches. TRAD was long done with 2000i, and
figured that DTN would drop the ball sooner or later.
