Thanks for this explanation. I previously thought the distance fight was over being closest to the NASDAQ co-location building in New York, not connecting Chicago and New York.

I am still not clear why microwave is faster than fiber though. Is it simply that the fiber lines are multi-tenant, so there is not a direct hop?
