Sir:

I am a relatively small volume trader and frequently trade various option contracts. I question the action of NASDAQ in initiating fees to use their quote service. I can't think of any market in which a customer is required to pay a fee to obtain the current price of the product.

I can't see how this will work.

Sincerely,

Edward Bianchi
