Question----Reuters is providing the system---are they
also the designers of the technology. And, what wireless company are they contracting with.

Second question---do you know of other companies doing the same or is this unique to Reuters.

Technology keeps moving us along---to what I am not totally sure.

This looks to be a very good product. $115.00 per month for unlimited real-time news and quotes. There are no carrier fees, no roaming charges, or any additional charges except the exchange fees, according to the representative I spoke with. So this means you can sign up in DC and use it in NY. LA, New Orleans, and Atlanta are blacked out.

I'm thinking DBCC should port Signal to the PalmPilot and Windows CE. Wireless without connection fees is irresistible in my view.
