NTKN does have actual customers and partnerships with trading platforms (RTS, CQG, EBS) so they have an actual business model and are a bona fide company.

I suspect that the customers who take their feed are aware of their rumored cozy relationship with a prop shop but really have no choice.

Don't kid yourself about the security of the lockups. I use to use a squawk service where you could actually hear the government official counting down - which means an open line. Reporters could also publish early from their computers as they were able to connect to the outside world a few minutes before the actual release time.

So expect to see more of these shops like CEP and NTKN pop up. The data that comes from the US Lockups are the most market moving numbers not only for the US but for every trading market out there.
