Well it's obvious that if they are launching a new website that everyone is interested in trying straight away - and the whole website is based on having an agent to CHAT to, then IFLY has to limit the number of people having access initially otherwise they will be massively swamped.
Swamped not neccessarily with customer business but with investors who want to try out the site.
Once investor interest has settled down to something manageable that they can handle while they continue to do business then I'm sure it will open up to many more people much faster.

However remember they have a business to run that's based on telephone sales - as well as expanding on to the Net. They simply can't afford to have all two hundred some agents dedicated to a queue of investors who want to try out the site.

Several thousand are already registered by all accounts. They will be invited in just as fast as IFLY can handle it.
Meanwhile I'm sure that if someone from CNBC or Business Week wants to try the site that that can be facilitated.
