Exchange Policies: Consistency vs. Customization
It’s common knowledge that Exchanges and Content Providers have a plethora of policies regarding their data and content … policies regarding usage, redistribution, reporting, fee liability, and a host of other things. Many in the industry plead for increased consistency among these policies, others cry for individual customization and some simply ask for clarity. Will the ‘standards vs. innovation’ battle always be fought? Can this situation be improved? Can everyone be satisfied?
