General 8 Connectivity

The connectivity products and services that this Rule describes are shared among all of the Nasdaq, Inc. exchanges (The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, Nasdaq BX, Inc., Nasdaq PHLX, LLC, Nasdaq ISE, LLC, Nasdaq, MRX, LLC, and Nasdaq GEMX, LLC). Fees for these products and services are also the same among all of the Nasdaq, Inc. exchanges. As such, a firm need only purchase the products and services listed below from any Nasdaq, Inc. exchange once to connect to any and all of the Nasdaq, Inc. exchanges to which it is otherwise entitled to connect, or to connect to third party market data feeds or services. For example, if a firm purchases connectivity to one Nasdaq, Inc. exchange and then subsequently qualifies to connect to a second Nasdaq, Inc. exchange, then the firm may utilize its existing services for connecting to the first exchange to also connect to the second exchange, without incurring an additional charge.
