This creates a bias - built into the system and creates abuses that are well known. Additionally, where else can you show me a MONOPOLY that works for the benefit of all parties. Why should DTCC have that monopoly? By exiting DTCC - competition is created which benefits all participants. Firms have been exiting DTCC for years - only now, facing the fact that many companies now what to exit (and you have to wonder why that is????) is DTCC not cooperating. PLEASE REJECT THIS PROPOSAL.
