It is astonishing that this technology has such a large reported market size. Companies using the systems successfully must be located close to the stock exchanges to minimize transit times for the data reception and trade orders. My gut feel is the predictions are overblown, as soon as a competitor gets a better solution, this technology will be obsolete - and as a niche product it may not have much other application.
