There have been no other announcements made from any other online trading firms yet, but once it starts more than likely others will follow suit. Online trading is a highly competitive business. If you're an individual investor this is good news for you. Remember when trades were over $20.00 or when the only way you could invest was through full time brokers? Talk about high commissions.
Did you see the new E*Trade commercials on the Super Bowl last night? A lot of people love seeing the babies and don't get tired of seeing them. We all miss the original baby who it has been reported retired. Actually he got too old for the part.
The new ads are really cute. You can view all the ads on YouTube or at this link, E*Trade Baby Ads. Many of us don't care much about E*Trade, but a lot of people do enjoy their commercials. If you're looking for a good laugh you can view all the ads at the link just provided. Who can't enjoy a good laugh every now and then?
If you have time go to the ad site and take a look at the ads and then vote for your favorite one in the comments section. The first six on the list are the new ads. I'm having a hard time deciding which one I think is the funniest.

Great to know!
I don't take investing advice from babies either. I think they are pretty funny, though.
I've used both Schwab and E*Trade for online investing. I only use Schwab now. I don't take investing advice from babies!
I love the "E Trade" baby ads! Their PR folks are the best, cheers
