without surveillance on a regulated exchange

So we're going to have competition in exchanges, a free market of them with various rules/surveillance levels? Neat!

Competition between exchanges based on rules (e.g. paying liquidity takers versus makers) and surveillance (e.g pits versus dark pools or tape delays) has existed for a long time (think: American Stock Exchange versus NYSE versus NASDAQ) [1]. It sped up after the SEC passed Reg ATS [2].
