Woking-based ICV and the Societe de Diffusion d’Informations Boursieres, a subsidiary of the Paris Bourse, have signed a joint agreement to distribute the market data system ComStock by satellite throughout Western Europe: ICV already markets ComStock in Western Europe on behalf of the US company Commodity Quotations Inc but the new agreement means that ComStock can be transmitted via the Paris Bourse satellite system, and in return the Societe de Diffusion d’Information Boursieres will become the sole distributor of ComStock in France; terminals can be installed now so that subscribers can use the new service from its inception scheduled for January 1.
