Notice No. 242 05/04/2006
Announcement of Immediate Start Date for Use of Registered Wireless Handheld Devices for Electronic Trading on the NYMEX Division Trading Floor
As background, the Exchange Board of Directors recently approved the use of wireless handheld devices for electronic trading on the NYMEX Division Trading Floor. Subsequently, Exchange staff focused upon coordinating service vendors providing demonstrations on their handheld products, upgrading the wireless network provided by the Exchange and registering NYMEX Floor Members for use of this wireless network. The Exchange has completed the upgrade on this wireless network and can now support use of a wireless handheld device by every NYMEX Division Floor Member. The purpose of this notice is to announce that Floor Members who have registered their wireless handheld devices with the Exchange may begin using their devices immediately. Please be advised that the NYMEX Board also limited use of the wireless handheld devices to electronic trading on the NYMEX Division floor ONLY by Members and ONLY from within a NYMEX trading ring. The Board prohibited use of the devices by Members in any other area and also specifically prohibited ANY use of such devices by a Member's clerk. These restrictions will be strictly enforced by NYMEX Floor Committee and by Exchange staff. If you have not already done so, you may register your wireless handheld devices by downloading the Terms of Use and application located at http://www.nymex.com/wrless_reg.aspx. Please submit all completed registrations to Third Party Services. If you should have any inquiries, please contact Third Party Services at 1-800-275-6215 or via e-mail at thirdpartyservices@nymex.com.
