PC Quote Rescues Investors
Stranded by Galaxy IV Outage

PR Newswire - May 21, 1998 08:48

CHICAGO, May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- PC Quote, Inc.
(Amex: PQT), like many of the real-time market data
providers, was effected when PanAmSat's Galaxy IV
satellite lost service on the evening of May 19, 1998. In
order to minimize the impact on its customers, PC
Quote provided satellite subscribers with real-time
market data via the company's Internet service. In fact,
about one third of PC Quote's satellite customers were
converted to the Internet before 12:00 Noon CDT on
May 20, 1998.

PC Quote uses many means of transmitting market
data including leased lines, satellite and Internet. The
malfunctioning satellite affected the datafeed service of
about 10% of the company's customers.

"As an early leader in delivering market data via the
Internet, we're pleased that our expertise was able to
benefit our customers this morning," said Jim Porter,
Chairman. Mr. Porter also commented that satellite
customers without Internet access were being
converted to another means of satellite delivery by PC
Quote's technical support team.

"Faced with a catastrophic disruption of data delivery
this morning, I'm proud of how our team of
professionals were able to quickly structure a solution
for our customers," Mr. Porter said.

PC Quote, Inc. is a leading provider of online real-time
and delayed stock and market quotes to financial
professionals, consumers, and redistributors. The PC
Quote Web site is at www.pcquote.com.
