I haven't read that book, but I do read several newspapers every day. 
Several years ago, one or more firms that specializes in super-automated 
programmed trading set up an office at a location very to that of the 
computers that run stock trading. The objective (and it worked) was to 
shave microseconds off the propagation of both information TO them and 
their trade orders to the system.

It would make NO sense to do this on the ham bands, where the path would 
be much longer.
