The World Cup doesn’t just fill stadiums. It fills networks. We’re a few days late with this post. We had planned to mark 100 days until this year’s World Cup, which was actually on Wednesday. While our countdown might be late, networks shouldn’t be late preparing for the traffic surge major sporting events can bring. Check out this clip from LINX102 in 2018, where LINX member network the BBC shared insights into the impact global sporting events such as Wimbledon, the World Cup, and the Euros had on their traffic peaks between 2011 and 2018. We’ve shared a link to the full presentation in the thread. ⬇️ #PeeringandMore #Connectivity #2026WorldCup #LINXMeetings

Digital transformation starts with physical infrastructure.

How you connect to Microsoft's public-facing services such as Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365, and Dynamics 365 has a bigger impact than you might think. Check out our latest article where we cover what MAPS is, how it differs to direct peering with Microsoft, and how it can benefit your network. ⬇️ Read the article here - eu1.hubs.ly/H0sjGNk0 #Peeringandmore #MicrosoftAzurePeeringService #MAPS #Connectivity

Every digital interaction is a journey. Data travels through networks that have been optimised for speed and resilience, but not always for energy efficiency. When traffic takes unnecessarily long routes – a phenomenon often referred to as tromboning – energy consumption increases and emissions multiply.
