So? How much of that traffic is video? If you eliminate that, what percentage of the rest can satellite pick up?

I was not proposing that trading systems run via phones and voice. No, those are much less bandwidth-efficient than data. I was proposing that they continue to be run by data, just with lower frequency. (Will the global economy really collapse without HFT on currencies?)
