The service will be delivered as on-line content via the internet, and will therefore be accessible from desktops, mobile platforms etc on a world wide basis. The data for the Level 2 will be received by ADVFN.COM via a direct link to the London Stock Exchange which will therefore continue to enable ADVFN.COM to provide fast and accurate real time data. Mike Boydell, Managing Director of ADVFN.COM, commenting on this exciting initiative, ' We have been asked by a considerable number of our users to provide greater depth to the market to enable them to compete better with the Institutions and Brokers active in the market. Up to now the cost of acquisition of this data for private individuals via traditional service providers has been extremely expensive. Our planned charges for a full or a contended service now mean that real time Level 2 services will be cost effective. Our aim is to continue to develop new tools and information services for our users and this is just one of many new enhancements in the pipeline. We are pleased that this service will now enable the private share buying public to have equal access to the information currently perceived to be available only to the Professional Market.'
