Offered as an upgrade option today, all CME Market Data packages will encompass Top 5 Book data, which includes top five price levels of bids and offers for any electronically-traded CME futures product. The expanded data set offered in each package will provide CME data subscribers a deeper view of the market, including price, volume and liquidity.
As part of the expansion in each data package offering the fee schedule will change as follows:

• CME Base Access Fee/Device, which includes pit-traded contracts and CME Globex® traded contracts will increase to $50 from $40 per month. This product will now include both Level I Top of Book (Best Bid/Offer) and Level II Depth (Book).
• CME Globex-only package fees will increase to $35 from $25 per month. This product will now include both Level I Top of Book (Best Bid/Offer) and Level II Depth (Book).
• CME E-Mini-only package fees will increase to $25 from $20 per month. This product will now include both Level I Top of Book (Best Bid/Offer) and Level II Depth (Book).
• Due to the upcoming product expansions in 2007 listed above the stand-alone Level II products, CME Globex Level II ($25/mo. add-on) and CME E-Mini Level II ($10/mo. add-on), will both be eliminated next year, resulting in an overall cost savings for those customers paying for add-on services.

In 2005, CME introduced its new Market Data Platform (MDP) to all customers connecting directly to the exchange for market data. MDP is a multicast distribution platform that is helping CME customers achieve greater bandwidth savings in market data message processing. In most cases, because of CME's investments in technology, customers have achieved a 50 percent savings in bandwidth utilization.
