Equinix to expand hubs for world’s bourses

from FT:

>>RTS-Micex, the Russian exchange, and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange have already announced plans to open a point of presence in Equinix’s Slough data centre near London. ASX, the Australian exchange, has a similar hub in Chicago to attract the city’s futures traders.
“Points of presence suggest a commoditisation in the market,” said Terry Keene, chief executive of iSys Integration Systems, a capital markets consultancy. “You’re at the classic buy-or-build dilemma.”
