OFF TOPIC WITH BRAD KATSUYAMA

摘要

Brad katsuyama: Exchanges have three versions of cables chat they will sell you with tiered pricing and speeds. You could poke around at the [NYSE] and NASDAQ. They have three versions of cables that they will sell you. First you pay to be in the room. Now all of a sudden you have three options to connect to me. You have a one gig cable at New York, it's $10,000 a month for two cables; you have a 10-gig cable which is $25,000 a month for two cables and you also have a 40-gig cable for $40,000 a month for two cables. These cables are not that expensive alright? The difference in the gig is speed, microseconds. You can save two or three microseconds by getting a faster cable.
