When Bernie breaks up the banks, how many banks will Chase become? [View all]

I actually like that Chase is a big bank because there's a branch near me and most of the time when I'm on vacation there's a Chase ATM nearby so I can get cash without paying the $3 fee. (There are Chase ATMs all over Disney World, for example). But if Bernie breaks up Chase into 4 or 5 banks this will probably not be the case anymore. Has any thought been given to this?
