1. We use it in a lot of ways big and small.

I’d say two notable examples are building our tools platform (http://LTSE.com/tools) for early stage companies which has allowed us to do exchange-like things long before being operational as a national securities exchange and our earlier attempt to build the exchange with a legacy partner. That partnership ultimately failed but in the process we learned a lot of essential lessons that set us up for success. Classic MVP.

2. Not really. They are obviously aware of those things and I have found them knowledgeable and conscientious in wanting to protect and serve the public. But the process to create a stock exchange is defined by law and they followed that to reach their decision. If you read their almost 50 page approval order, you’ll see how detailed their analysis is.
