May I enquire as to who this person is and what authority they have on this issue?
Look forward with interest to what happens. I assume the cash has been sent to Eumetsat's Bankers, not to them. I for one have always found Eumetsat, very prompt, most helpful and extremely courteous and will continue to do things in the way they ask. Despite our amateur status Eumetsat have always treated us equally with professionals and I intend to operate like that, given the excellent package provided.
Regards Douglas.
I'm with you on this one Douglas. I'm all for saving money, but if I am privileged to be able to receive data which would otherwise not be in the public domain then I would like to co-operate as much as I could. The differential does not seem to me IMHO to warrant a different approach.
