I think the proposal by NASDAQ to bundle news distribution and other services into its 2007 listing fees is unfair and restricts a NASDAQ-listed company’s ability to pick and choose its own provider – for both cost and quality control purposes – for these vital news release distribution and webcast services. I feel we are being coerced. Our choices are to use the services they own (PrimeZone) or use our own provider, in which case we would have the undesirable choice of paying twice for the same function (though not necessarily at the same level of service).
