Market Data, Reference Data and Blockchain

Richard - thanks for the comments, and I agree that this isn't something that would easily be put into action.

The problem lies in the fact that if those utilities are succesful, they end up becoming natural monopolies. That means they have a tendency to become inefficient (even if you try to run them on a cost-plus basis).
