DTN_Tim Walter -DTN Guru- Posts: 1238 Joined: Apr 25, 2006	Posted: Feb 3, 2017 02:43 PM Msg. 6 of 14 The concern I see is not so much that, it is the exchange requirements associated with how you are using the data, but those are things that you and the sales team can discuss more should you decide to come back to us. Thanks again for the interest though in either case. Tim
