Delayed online stock prices may soon be a thing of the past

From the Google blog:

At Google, we get excited about making all kinds of information accessible to everyone. The more up-to-date the information, the more valuable it is.

Some websites offer one real-time quote at a time, but typically only after you have enrolled in a service and/or signed a complicated legal agreement. Other sites approach the problem differently and show you streaming delayed data, but that doesn't solve the problem either -- it masks it. What's really important is getting free, easy and fast access to real-time quotes so you know how the market or your company is doing now, not as of twenty minutes ago.
