Did IB's commissions on futures go up in 2011?

Is it just me or did everyone get a 4c increase on a round turn per contract on futures?

The NFA fee increased starting in 2011 from 1c to 2c per side per contract. I don't know what products you are trading but my CL commissions only went up by this NFA increase. Equity products like ES and TF also went up by 1c per side per contract.

Hopefully NFA will use all of those pennies to oppose any proposed financial transaction taxes
