  3. It is def reliable and faster than anything I hear about. Sometimes you will just get the main headline come across the feed and the whole story later. I would recommend it to anyone.

  4. No reason to get your panties in a knot! I wasn't going to split it with 15 others, just 1 person.

  5. nyxtrader,
    you mentioned that they allow multiple terminal access, but not bloomberg anywhere.. so what does bloomberg anywhere provides??

    By the way the inital cost is $1,700 A Month.. Any other fees they charge or something ?

  6. Yes, they offer multiple users but I believe you can only use one terminal. The only way it would work is if you could get multiple users with Bloomberg Anywhere, which I don't think they will allow.

    BBA: allows one user to use BB from any computer. They give you a B unit to log in. Scans yourfinger print to make sure you are the account holder.
    Yes you have exchange fees and such.

    that is correct. they won't sue you if you can be certified 100 per cent that you are a schlub. shouldn't be too hard to find on the board.

  8. ???

    You've had bbg since 98 and you're unsure if Anywhere is single-user? You think the B-unit biometric ID is an AIDS test? Yeah, the point of the bio-ID is to limit Anywhere to a single, LICENSED user.
