> Participants that trade through microsecond latency advantages are extracting a tax on everyone else.

I completely disagree with this and have seen no proof of it one way or the other.

One data point that convinces me lacking any proof, is that spreads are tightest in the products with the highest competition for latency. It seems that speed is bringing the tax down not up.
