Traders Look to Wireless for Lowest Latency->

kruhft writes "Traders are exploring wireless solutions as a potentially lower cost and lower latency alternative to fiber. High Frequency Traders takes a look at the technology and its place in the industry's future.

Traditionally, high frequency traders seeking the fastest connections between markets have looked to fiber-optic networks. It's been a largely successful endeavour. Latency between the markets of Chicago and New York has been cut as low as 13.3 milliseconds.

But experience tells us that this is an industry that never sits still. In pursuit of the even faster times that can make all the difference in high frequency trading, some firms are looking to wireless solutions to give them the edge."

So it seems that Slashdot has decided to remove the number of comments/threshold comments from stories on the front page. This used to be a good barometer of how popular the story was before clicking on it to go through to the comments. Now it seems that the clicks are more important than showing the popularity. This is probably a way to increase ad impressions and to even out the pageviews on the stories. We'll see if it sticks around.
