Madoff predicted the regulators' move will hasten improvements to the existing links between the various stock markets, thereby giving investors easier access to the best stock price and making for more efficient markets.

The enhanced competition 'will allow more business to be done in more places -- and that's good for everybody,' he said.

I don't know Tim...I see this as a good thing. In a brief report on CNBC about it tonight, the impression I got was that this would make for a more uniform market, which would benefit everyone. Orders would all have the same access. The report also discussed the fact that stock prices vary in after hours on Instinet, MarketXT and Island - and that this new proposal would open up the 'central book' (have I got that term right?) to enable all to see & have access to the same stock prices, eliminating the after hours differences.

Maybe there is something I'm missing, but I see this as an improvement.
