The exchanges make huge amounts of money off live price feeds. Wrongly IMO, but that's another tangent.

Basically there's no way they would let a player like Bloomberg forward that kind of data to their users without getting paid a lot. In fact if you work in HFT you might have heard of something called a non-display fee which is a kind of ransom money they make that kind of firm pay.

Consumers like the ones who look at finance websites are probably not people they care to market to. Hence someone like investing.com can cut a deal to show live prices. They're not depth and pretty slow in any case.

But basically Bloomberg do not own the equity prices, the exchanges do.
