Yes. Along the same lines - once the income from reselling becomes significant, or even outweighs income from retail clients, then there is a big incentive for the supplier not to crash the resell relationship.
Also, in reality, would they run two historical databases - one for themselves and one for resale (more than likely they pass on a portion, as you indicate). Re MSN I can't imagine there would be a lot of difference between their data and Yahoo - perhaps either party manages or mismanges it in different ways? Anyone compared Yahoo to MSN?

As a CSI subscriber, that something is access to more goodies and services than only the summaries carried by Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. However, one does not gain anything with respect to data quality which is the key question for many. If there were discrepancies in data supplied to CSI subscribers and resellers, etc. I am sure that it would be well documented. Permitting such discrepancies would certainly not be in CSI's interest as they use the fact that they supply others (in part because of their high rating) in addition to subscribers as part of the argument for people to subscribe to their service. > > Bill > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "brian_z111" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 8:19 PM > Subject: [amibroker] Re: MSN data > > > > No. > > I assumed there would be points of difference but I haven't > > subscribed and done a crosscheck. > > > > Yes, if I'm paying I expect something extra, relative to what is > > around for free. > > > > brian_z > > > > > > > > --- In [email protected], "wavemechanic" <timesarrow@> > > wrote: > >> > >> Do you know that the CSI data on Yahoo/MSN websites differ from > > what they give subscribers? > >> > >> > >> ----- Original Message ----- > >> From: Fred Tonetti > >> To: [email protected] > >> Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 6:59 PM > >> Subject: RE: [amibroker] Re: MSN data > >> > >> > >> Data Sources are no exception to the principle of .
