Shane Kite | Information Management Online | Sep 25, 2009

RCN Metro is laying fiber for a low-latency co-location and exchange-only network connecting the major bourses and data centers in the New York and New Jersey financial hubs, according to John Romagnoli, senior manager of product development at RCN Metro.
