The NYSE Chicago, Inc. has proposed a rule change to its Connectivity Fee Schedule, aiming to enhance competition by adding new connectivity options to several trading floors, including the New York Stock Exchange. This change introduces new types of connections called TF Connections, which offer users dedicated bandwidth between their data center in Mahwah, New Jersey, and the trading floors. The NYSE Chicago argues that these new options will provide more choices without any unfair advantage or discrimination against telecom companies that also provide similar services. The rule change is open for public comments before a final decision is made by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking public and federal agency comments on its information collection efforts as part of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The FCC wants feedback on the necessity and utility of the information collected, its accuracy in estimating the paperwork burden, and suggestions for improving quality and reducing burden, particularly for small businesses. The current information collection involves 2,925 respondents and requires 244,477 hours annually to complete. These efforts are part of a broader initiative to ensure that telecom services remain fair and reasonable, particularly following changes in rules for toll-free service charges.
