I think that with the merger that is going to change the power structure that some interesting things will happen. These brokers are power hungry and as the market is slower they will try to figure out ways to control more of the market. Ones that are using a VOW can pull their data and use it to their advantage in advertising.

Pulling the data from IDX won't hurt these brokers like pulling from MLSNI. Their listings will still get sold. It will just hurt the little guys IMO.

Hope that it never comes to this, but when it was presented as a option for the big players it struck me a very interesting.
