Esteban, DBC planned to include LII in Marketwatch online after the first of the year according to DBC as of 10/23. They won't include it in their cable TV feed due to bandwidth problems - they already use some non-trivial compression algorythms to stuff their TV feed. What has me tempted to be patient (hahaha) is that BMI is working to include LII in its datafeed (no eta as of 10/21). I currently use BMI satellite rt, so that may be my best route - at the cost of patience which is for me a pricey commodity. Perhaps what we are seeing with WebStreet eating the LII costs in excess of the exchange fees is a preview of what will happen to LII prices after DBC/BMI enter that market segment. Hmmm, is PCQUOTE publicly traded? Perhaps it is time for me to re-query DBC/BMI. Still lurking (and posting apparantly) in search of feedback on the webstreet Level II capability. Cheers!
