Instinet has already started to cater to the retail online brokerage market, albeit indirectly. By indirectly, I mean: not through a retail online broker dealer of their own design or ownership, but instead by letting firms such as E*Trade and Siebert link to them from their front ends.

I don't know why they've been advertising so much...maybe the Island vs. Instinet volume lead has grown too close for comfort...but while not impossible, I don't see them going into the retail market. It could very well be that their moves with E*Trade and the like are merely efforts to increase their already formidible liquidity.

Recently, they've invested in a large NYSE specialist firm and Tradepoint (an ATS with aspirations to become a pan-European electronic stock market), as well as
begun work on an electronic fixed income trading system (of which there are already a few). These developments are in keeping with their primarily institutional focus and target.
