As trader, I would suggest looking at the higher NPC taxes for people trading at the smaller hubs. People who had low margins and did trade on the smaller hubs or did seed local pockets of space. Have some stuff working against them atm.
First they loose from Citadel competition, because; - They don't understand how it works - Its new market ways and they simple did not take time to invest the mechanic - They are afraid for asset safety - They don't use citadels out of habit - Contracts where not ending in Citadels
Secondly they loose of income due to supply chain costs; - More taxes on normal supply chain lines, will decrease profit on a lot of products, the masses will drop products that are no longer feasible in profit margin.
Third; Critical mass in turnover on local hubs - With less turnover in market, due to local supply simply disappearing due to higher taxes in the supply chain, has a few consequences; * Existing wholesalers will drop prices even further, in favor of turnover, to maintain critical mass in their portfolios, what is even encouraged by citadel strategies. * People with small volumes can not afford the risk of selling at near margins at smaller hubs, they will ship to hubs with higher volume to have sales when the market peaks. * When people with stocks in local market hubs, want to leave the market due to lower returns. They will dump in market, or move the stocks. The dumping of ISK that is hold up in their hangers creates a lower market price on local products. Inter regional traders will all avoid markets where dumping occurs by locals or competition, which leads to less turnover (again). * Besides the above, stocks that need to make turnover will be moved by people who can afford logistics to place it in hubs that have the turnover to generate ISK. The bigger inter regional wholesalers, have no problem with lower margins, as long as the turnover on their product keeps the critical mass cq healthy profits EVE wide.
When Citadel trading was announced, I suggested on forums that the new tax scheme would consolidate tredevolumes even more. Since that is the most logical outcome, based on the described stuff above and in this thread. It seems its happening already.

Whats up in the 8, 9 and 12 spot with huge numbers of Guidance Systems orders?

Please don't sell stuff in Perimeter, most of the buy orders in citadels there will be ranged buy orders that reach Jita and the buyers will most likely want their goods in Jita too.
Perimeter has far fewer war targets than Jita, and there are enough citadels in it that it is relatively easy to find one that has no ships on the undock. Its much less stressful to sell in Perimeter, and currently much lower risk.
Big powerbrokers in EVE do not care where the turnover is happening, they want it happening.

Is the general public aware of Cost indexes? I mean, is the bulk production of stuff dependent on it?

I don't screw around much with manufacturing and trade but I was considering starting a manufacturing alt to take advantage of the infux of new players who will inevitable come due to free to play. Unfortunate due to RL I never got around to it.
The tax change is still working its way into products with swing markets that are like 3 to 6 months. So, my guess is that the concentration of product availability will increase even more over time.
Alpha's wont add enough mass into the total consumer product basket to change that.
