There was some news about this recently, the traders in-land were complaining because they had a distinct disadvantage to those in CBDs. Meaning they would not see trends etc before their city counterparts. <br><br>#omfglagwtf<br>

<div>Interesting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We worked with several HFT (High Frequency Traders) in the US and they will "sell their grandmothers left arm for a uSec". �It turns out that in the HFT world, speed of transaction is much more significant than trading algorithm, and a uSec counts.</div>

</div>
<div>Spread Networks <a href="http://www.spreadnetworks.com" target="_blank">www.spreadnetworks.com</a> setup a direct cable run between NYC and Chicago, spent a fortune on the installation (reportedly US$300m) which was a dedicated trench (literally) as line of sight rather than tracing all the small POPs in a zig-zag,
825 fibre miles, 13.1 mSec, shaving a (reputedly) 1.5 mSec off the flight time.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, take a look at McKay <a href="http://www.mckay-brothers.com" target="_blank">www.mckay-brothers.com</a> who are proposing a microwave path (air is twice as fast as glass). �Has anyone starting setting up dedicated uWave across the harbor yet ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The HFT guys will drive some interesting behavior in the Australian carrier market.</div>

Awesome stuff James! � I wonder if there was a commercial justification for this or if it was just to get better bandwidth into the Vocus office in North Sydney �:-)<br>

If I were into betting, my money would be a few folks that care about every microsecond and want the most direct fiber path from the CBD to a certain facility in Gore Hill ...<br>
