This article discussed a type of stock market technology that a company is trying to use as a competitor to the New York Stock Exchange.

In reversing on appeal, the Delaware Supreme Court held:

However, the introduction of low latency communications allows some traders to receive trading updates faster than their competitors. Overall, it becomes apparent that the stock market relies on this network due to the advantages that computerization introduces to the activity. However, this also comes with its own shortcomings since traders with greater financial resources could invest more in their IT infrastructure to increase their advantages in the market as evidenced in the book. For instance, the use of a fiber optic network for analyzing trades provided an advantage for firms such as Goldman Sachs since it reduced latency to 13 milliseconds down from 17. Although this might seem like a small advantage, it allowed them to make their trades faster than competitors and as a result gave them a monopoly over profitable trades at the time.
