Wouldn't it be better for users if our financial systems worked like the Google example? Why can't I as a regular retail investor trade a stock on Saturday? Why can't I move money from one bank account to another on Sunday? Imagine not being able to send E-mail on Easter because nobody at your ISP was there to push bits around or whatever these banks' excuse is?
