Tap into the dealing revolution

Article Abstract:

UK stockbrokers are increasingly using the Internet to make on-line services available to investors. Owners of PCs can gain access to a wide range of information. A real-time share dealing service was launched in the UK in Sep 1995 by ShareLink and ESI, a software company from Cambridge, England. Fidelity is developing a service to give access to Fidelity Brokerage using a private link rather than the Internet. Some brokers also have screens at some of their branches which customers can use.
