You are being overly pessimistic about access to these microwave paths. In some cases in the U.S. you can purchase wireless market data directly from the exchanges†. I am less familiar with the Canadian markets so I can't speak to what is available there.

Agreed -- however, it's worthwhile to note that in my experience, you get what you pay for in terms of wireless connectivity. There are superior products to the Nasdaq offering.
