The London Stock Exchange will increase fees for real-time data from next year, due to investment into providing a better service for high speed trading strategies.

From the start of 2014, the LSE will raise its pricing for real-time data - comprising redistribution licenses, some professional user data charges and fees for using data in indices and algorithms - by an average of 2.5%. The exchange has already increased its real-time data fees by 5% in July 2013.
