Finally, as we also observed in the Proposing Release, technological developments have made it much easier for issuers to disseminate information broadly.

In addition to press releases, these methods include, among others, Internet webcasting and teleconferencing. Accordingly, technological limitations no longer provide an excuse for abiding the threats to market integrity that selective disclosure represents.
