PC Quote Rescues Investors Stranded by Galaxy IV Outage PR Newswire - May 21, 1998 08:48 PQT %FIN %MLM V%PRN P%PRN 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.
