Their pricing options say you can have an unlimited number of 
symbols, but they limit the number you can "view" at once.  
Apparently they're trying to avoid customers like you, Mark -- 
they don't want anybody sucking down every symbol in existence.  
With sat feeds nobody would care, since they're sending it to you 
anyway, but with an inet feed they must feel they need protection 
from bandwidth hogs.

Out of curiosity, have you ever tried calling them to negotiate 
an unlimited-view subscription?  If they're smart they'd be 
willing to do that, though it would undoubtedly be expen$$ive.  
Unless they figure their infrastructure is just incapable of 
delivering that many symbols to one client.

Mark, what about the "eSignal emini volume chokes TS2k" problem?  
Do you have a solution for that, or do you just do the "turn 
futures into indices" hack to get around it?
