  You can tell by the trade size," said Tom Vales, CEO of TheMuniCenter.Based in New York City, the anonymous B2B system went live in 2000, backed by Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Salomon Smith Barney and Chapdelaine & Co, and distributes inventory among 500 participating firms.
  
  Vales views the firm's platform as a way to smooth a transition from simple equities trading to more complex fixed-income diversification, for both customers and dealers, who must sell the bonds-or more accurately, make them understood to their customers-vs. simply providing execution services.
  
  "Typically, an older client is going to start diversifying more into fixed income or you get into periods like now where you have volatile markets and people are moving cash out of equities and into bonds," Vales said.

  MuniCenter CEO Thomas Vales and Wendt both say that the competition will be beneficial , improving the muni market's pricing mechanisms and overall efficiency.
  ...
  Any attempt for greater transparency and broader distribution is a positive , says Vales.
  
  But on the flip side , as is evident in the proliferation of alternative trading venues for equities , is the risk of fragmentation that dilutes liquidity.Already , there is talk of a convergence mirroring the consolidation of Wall Street firms themselves. ( Muni-Group supporters Goldman and Spear Leeds recently merged , and PaineWebber is combining with UBS. ).
  
  ...
  The B2B commitment is just as strong at MuniCenter because , says Vales , there are too many regulatory issues involved in B2C , or business-to-consumer.More than 100 firms are actively trading on the site , and we're trying to establish relationships with every dealer out there , from the smallest to the largest firms..
  
  MuniCenter's fourth founding equity partner , interdealer brokerage Chapdelaine & Co. , is supplying crucial client support in the form of 65 telephone brokers.
  
  There are over 70 , 000 issuers of municipal bonds , explains Vales , 36 , a former Bankers Trust Corp. managing director of fixed-income arbitrage.And these are very complex securities.A lot of the bonds have stories that need to be told - the kinds of things you need human interaction for.That should be very helpful to the traders..
  
  The heft of MuniGroup and MuniCenter isn't deterring others from jockeying for position - not even those groups' principals.Placing a slightly different bet , Goldman , Merrill and Morgan Stanley in June announced BondBook , an anonymous electronic marketplace for both corporates and munis , with a projected fourth-quarter start date.
