SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts opens communication around instant messaging

Yahoo! has announced that as of August 5, 2016 it will discontinue the legacy messenger application that is widely used to communicate in the energy and commodity trading markets globally. Platts has been working on possible messaging solutions for these sectors since December of 2015. Platts will announce these proposed solutions as soon as possible within the coming days and will seek industry feedback at that time. Platts will continue to accept messages from Yahoo! Instant Messenger as long as the service is available as well as other regional messaging services as appropriate and will remain contactable via phone, eWindow (where deployed) and email.
