but reality the nyse today is not the nyse of the nostalgic yesteryear. in 2006 we were primarily focused on trading large u.s. cap stocks. in a short five years, it expanded in size, scope and geography. we faced significant increasing competition brought on by regulation changes in europe and the u.s. we've met these challenges through innovating, diversifying and globalizing, because otherwise we would have been doomed to be a charming but irrelevant acronym. we operate 13 venus in 6 countries derived, 49% of our revenues throughout the united states, and are a significant provider of sophisticated technology for clients. our proposed merger is a reflection of how we must adapt and change to remain a fierce competitor that services their clients. in the u.s. alone, there are currently 13 stock exchanges in over 30-so-called dark pools. the u.s. competitive landscape is equally complex. with nine options venues vying for business. trading fees for both equities and options have fallen substantially over the last ten years while trading volumes have grow
