I'm not sure this is such a great deal as it is browser based. You can get Bridgestation from www.equis.com badged as Metastock Quotecenter for $135 a month. That is a standalone quote and charting terminal. Though you will have to pay the exchange fee again. IB should offer Bridgestation without the exchange fees.
Perhaps they will offer various pkgs like this. Offer a discounted group rate and cover exchange fees. The Possibilities are endless.
They are covering US exch fees. The Reuters US newsfeed is an add'l $65/month from Metastock: http://www.equis.com/products/pricingguide.aspx?c=p#QuoteCenter
