5 months to get back to us, and one month after I asked for an update. This is after the year+ of FT chat not working properly, and evidently IB deciding not to bother fixing it while they evaluate other products.

Do you think the chat solution will actually occur in 2012, or are we looking at 2013 at this point?

Cheers.
