Super-speed Internet satellite blasts off in Japan.

Not in the US. There isn't a sat provider in the US where you wouldn't be exceding your alloted bandwidth if you are always streaming thousands of symbols.

Maybe if the ONLY information you are getting about those symbols is the last price, it might be possible but even then I would question it....

 

Good point. Something I overlooked - still at the planning stages on this one.

 

My last should have been NTT B Flet's

 

In some countries, their wireless broadband is already faster than most land broadband in USA.

 

Interesting. Is this a city wide type of service, where anyone in the city can pick up a signal? {Some U.S. cities are doing this now} or on a personal, private, in home network?

I remember when you were first able to connect the laptop to your cell phone. It would take two-three minutes to download a web page. Guys were going to the beach and trying to trade. They were losing more money paying $1.00 a minute, than they were on their super slow charting feeds.

 

Thanks for the explanations, kinar.
