The deal will see TNS provide essential connectivity services via its Secure Trading Extranet, which connects over 1,500 financial community end-points, representing buy-side and sell-side institutions, market data and software vendors, exchanges and alternative trading venues.

This new agreement will enable TNS customers to gain connectivity to additional venues including the NYSE Euronext markets.
