This is not the first time China has gone its own way on technology standards. It also put forward its own standard, TD-SCDMA, for 3G mobile telephony, competing with W-CDMA and CDMA2000. China, which currently has 440 million mobile subscribers, has delayed issuing 3G licences several times due to government hopes of developing a mature home-grown 3G technology. In fact, according to local media, a two-month trial of China’s third generation mobile technology is scheduled to commence in Beijing, Shanghai and three other cities in China ending in early 2007. Initially, the trial TD-SCDMA network will involve 20,000 users in Shandong Province’s Qingdao City, Hebei Province’s Baoding City and Xiamen City in Fujian Province. After the two-month trial, a main operator for the TD-SCDMA in China will be chosen from the 15 participating operators. Despite such developments, analysts feel the widespread launch of mobile TV service can’t be predicted for sure, at least for now.

Then there’s Scandinavia’s always fascinating OMX, which in October officially completed its multi-year task of forging a slew of northern European exchanges into the OMX Nordic Exchange. Meanwhile, in the developing world, the story is proliferation rather than consolidation. Some of the new projects have been launched in cooperation with developed exchanges, as is the case with the Joint Asian Derivatives Exchange (JADE) set up by the Singapore Exchange and CBOT, but more and more of them are home-grown entities using home-grown business models and often home-grown technology, like the Multi-Commodity Exchange of India (MCX). And all this is happening against a backdrop of major regulatory and technological upheaval. The European Union, for example, is hammering out its Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), which will finally bring European regulators into line with each other. Many in the United States are calling for the creation of a single regulator for derivatives and securities, and the regulatory regimes of India, China and scores of smaller countries across Africa and Latin America are all watching each other in an effort to remain compatible while meeting local needs. And how are futures commission merchants (FCMs) responding? Mostly with yelps of euphoria, tempered by the knowledge that competitive pressures apply to them as well… customers,” he says. But for now, the biggest growth is closer to home. “The speed with which grain markets are becoming electronic is far faster than any other past market,” Guinan says. “It’s really showing customer preference for electronic trading. ” And that preference is showing up in FCM bottom lines. “Our revenue is up over 75% so far this year,” Guinan says, crediting the surge in electronic commodities trading–even though the bulk of Advantage’s volume still comes from government debt trading.

The Government is satisfied on the advice provided to it that the immediate passage of this bill would strengthen the capacity of law enforcement agencies to effectively respond to this threat. The Government is acting against the background of the assessment of intelligence agencies that a terrorist attack in Australia is feasible and could well occur. In ASIO’s recently released annual report a warning is contained that specifically cites the threat of home-grown terrorism. ASIO also warned that attacks without warning are feasible.
