in the financial data market. Within a few years, anciIiary products such as Bloomberg Tradebook (a fully functional trading platform) the Bloomberg Messaging Service and the Bloomberg newswire are launched. Over 200,000 Bloomberg Terminals have been installed as of 2007 and the service is a market leader. Virtually every company and institution involved in the investment industry uses the Bloomberg Professional service.
In addition to the core Bloomberg Professional product, Bloomberg L.P. has a large news service with more than 2,000 professionals in 125 bureaux worldwide; the Bloomberg television 24-hour business and financial network produced and distributed worldwide on 10 separate channels in seven languages; Bloomberg Radio services which provide up-to-the-minute news on XM, Sirius and WorldSpace
satellte radio around the world and on WBBR 1 130AM in New York; and Bloomberg.com, a topraned financial news site. In addition, Bloomberg publishes award-winning Bloomberg Markets magazine and Bloomberg Press books for investment professionals.

Criticisms
The Bloomberg Professional service is comparatively expensive (around $2000 per terminal per month including exchange fees for live data) in the context of its nearest competitor, Reuters 3000 Xtra. Bloomberg was criticised for significant price rises from 2000 to 2003, which were very diffcult times for its core customer base, many of whom were engaged in cost-cutting exercises. Bloomberg have also pushed the introduction of Bloomberg Anywhere, a biometrically authenticated login system for Bloomberg ProfessionaL. This has forced firms to provide full Bloomberg subscriptions for users who would otherwise have been able to share terminals. The Bloomberg Messaging system has become the standard means of wrtten communication in certain markets and the loss of the messaging service and the associated client contact is a significant switching barer for anybody wishing to use a competing product, thus forcing many market participants to pay for a full Bloomberg subscription just to use the
messaging service.

Organizational structure
Bloomberg LP stresses the matrix management organization strcture. Everyone who works at Bloomberg, even the CEO, sit at Terminal-laden desks instead of individual offices. All Conference rooms are lined with walls of glass to symbolize transparency. Expensive fish-tanks and large artistic murals line all floors.

Corporate governance
As of

Bloomberg include: Peter Grauer, Arhur Levitt, Jane Bryant Quinn, Frank Savage, and Thomas Secunda (1)
March 2001, members of the board of directors of
