I fully agree with you on the conflict of interest between the stock exchange and IR services provider, such as Thomson Reuters or Hugin Group. I dared to comment on this acquisition on our blog, referring to your post on IR Web Report: http://blog.sensors.pl/2009/09/23/thomson-reuters-kupuje-hugin-group-i-co-z-tego/ As far as Poland is concerned, I hope the acquisition will have limited negative impact on our market, because Hugin's services are priced very high comparing to local IR online service providers. Very few companies listed on Warsaw Stock Exchange can afford Hugin's services. The rest, which is 450+ public companies will hopefully slowly raise their quality of IR sites thanks to a dozen of small IR interactive agencies. Still IR websites of Polish listed companies are (in large majority) way behind Western European standards, but we are working hard ;-) to change it. Best regards and please keep on posting - I really missed your blog for a long period this spring and summer when you posted very little between April and July. Piotr Biernacki Dominic,

Reminds me of the similarly very unfortunate purchase last year by the TSX of Equicom here in Canada. A clear conflict in so many ways. Good comments, as always.
