Under the agreement, Koscom will use Colt's low-latency global network service infrastructure to complement its own Stock-Net financial network in Korea. Both parties hope to benefit from leveraging each other's local and global network and exchange co-location footprints.

Officials say the partnership will "lower the technological barriers" to foreign investors trading the Korean markets, while discouraging Korean financial firms from trading in other financial centers.

There may also be further opportunities in the future to develop integrated financial IT and market data solutions for Korean capital markets, such as leveraging Colt's Prizmnet financial extranet and Koscom's "STP-Hub" securities brokerage hub.

"This global securities network partnership will enable Korean domestic securities and futures companies to leverage high-quality and low-cost infrastructure for offering their financial services to exchanges around the globe, including Japan, Southeast Asia, the US, and Europe, says Jae Wook Eom, Koscom's sales division head, in a statement. "At the same time, international investors will also be able to reduce their costs when launching business initiatives in Korea. This will key in accelerating the globalization of Korean capital markets."
