BTW: They're already building west, I assume to the northwest. Well, at least the PCNs are going in, I'm not sure if any of the paths have actually been licensed or built yet. I'll check on that. I assume to hit the submarine cables going to Tokyo and Hong Kong.
Arctic Fiber has multiple prongs: 1) HFT 2) Ability to avoid the US 3) Non-satellite Internet to remote areas of Alaksa and Canada 4) Non-HFT applications that benefit from decreased latency There are other routes going on as well, such as one or more that goes over Russia instead of over Canada. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Kuhnke" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, February 6, 2016 6:20:34 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] HFT Networks That makes me happy to be on the west coast. No trading exchange in Seattle to interconnect with. I feel sympathy for anyone trying to do new part101 PTP links in the general area between Chicago and NYC. Now, the ultimate HFT venture capital weirdness is the people raising money to build a new submarine fibre cable between London and Tokyo via the high Canadian arctic. It'll probably have 10G waves priced 5x higher than the competing options because it'll have at least 20ms lower latency than all other routes. http://arcticfibre.com/ http://arcticfibre.com/category/press-releases/page/2/ On Sat, Feb 6, 2016 at 9:02 AM, Mike Hammett < [email protected] > wrote: Old saves (almost two years), but it gives you an idea of how many are doing this and how extensively. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP
