As a Document Systems professional, I applaud the Commission's move to allow optical storage (WORM only though) as a record keeping media (File No. S7-17-99.) The cost to industry is fairly negligible due to recent advances in technology (DVD stores 16+ times the data as CD.) Also, the software that would feed these systems are already owned by a vast majority if not all the Broker - Dealers and Transfer Agents.
