E-Trade will drop NITE for Archipelago (ECN)

They did this mainly to: save money (ECN's cheaper}
better customer service, faster executions.
Here are the exact words from the press release

"Ultimately, Archipelago is another way to improve
the quality of service," said Christos Costakos,
E*Trade chief executive officer and chairman-elect.
"Archipelago's trading system will provide E*Trade
