Thomson offers a range of products, generally of excellent quality and good bang-for-the buck, and this is true especially of Thomson1. Certainly if you're seeking a "Bloomberg replacement" its worth a close look. Drop my sales coverage terrence/dot/dyra/at/thomsonreuters/dot/com a line for pointers to more info.
I don't want to mis-speak, since it's highly dependent on what features are enabled & etc. But people often think in terms of ~half the BBG price when they talk about Thompson1. Drop my sales coverage terrence/dot/dyra/at/thomsonreuters/dot/com a line for the real story, if you'd like.
Actually, if what you're asking is whether it's a retail- or institutional- level product, the answer is the latter. Pricing would be of the order of ~$1000/month. They aren't trying to compete with retail products such as http://www.esignal.com/.
phill, T1A is a great resource, but quite expensive imho, i use to have it when i still had a job lol try googling: thomsononeim.com passwords and you probably get some working pass for a few days, theres a few working right now: user: nlc pass: vacaria user: jamhong pass: 49gh1956right and so on i guess thomson is constantly checking these leaks, but at least you can check their service for a few days for free Hope this helps
thanks for the info Rodney, I guess it's a little above my price range, although it's the best service of it's kind. rob, thanks a lot, the password works great
