These 25 images reveal the passion of the fans and the players, from their moments of triumph to their moments of pain and defeat. They also reveal the beauty of mother nature herself and the joy found in the game by the youngest of players. Here are 25 beautiful images of the beautiful game. La Masia Jasper Juinen/Getty Images Long before the multimillion dollar contracts, the legions of fans or the big endorsement deal, it began with children who loved playing a simple and beautiful game. Beach Soccer in Brazil Michael Regan/Getty Images It is a common sight in Brazilpeople playing the beautiful game in a soccer-mad country in front of some of the picturesque scenes in the world. Extra Time Martin Rose/Getty Images It's a concept those outside the sport struggle to grasp: that there's no clock in the stadium counting down for all to see. But that great unknown (when will the center official blow the final whistle?), has the fans of both the winning and losing sides on the edge of their seat until the very end. This image is from the 2011 Women's World Cup when American Abby Wambach scored in the 122nd minute to force a penalty shootout against Brazil. 
These commentators expect a need for a significant increase in the number of IXPs, in the next decade, from the current 20 major locations to a future with 200 such locations. The basis for this assessment is the increased use of fixed and wireless broadband access throughout the world. A significant proportion of the users of these connections are in countries and regions that are under served. Much of their traffic will be sourced or routed from outside their region if IXPs are not available for content and services providers to further localise this traffic. This results in higher costs for transit. The OECD did a nice job explaining in 2012 the importance of internet exchange points to the cost of transit, showing how places with more IXPs saw lower prices for transit and in effect became broadband exporters. Europe has moved to this model, while the U.S. has a slightly different for-profit IXP model that may be transitioning over to the more cooperative European model, thanks to the Open Internet Exchange organization . But IXPs are only part of the problem. First, a bit about backhaul. The internet is a series of networks that connect to each other at interconnection points located in data centers. Your ISP provides whats known as last-mile service, which goes from a business or home back to a central office or head end owned by the ISP. At that point, your traffic heads out to a transit provider that connects to networks owned by content companies, retailers and clouds. If the traffic needs to cross the ocean, it will travel on submarine cables . These transit providers long-haul and middle-mile networks, as well as the submarine cables, are all examples of backhaul how last-mile traffic gets back to the internet itself. The report concerns itself mainly with submarine cables, though. Many developing areas need more pipes connecting them to other parts of the world. This is both an economic issue (more competition between pipe owners lowers prices) as well as a resiliency issue (more pipes ensure that cable cuts will not shut down the communications network ). Not only do these areas need more submarine cables, but the ownership structure is changing, with big internet companies like Google and Facebook investing in backhaul at the submarine cable level as well as long haul fiber across countries. The OECD report lays out a detailed history of how liberalization and increased competition on the submarine cable side can lower prices and boost demand for internet-based services. In fact, the biggest takeaway from the OECD report which should resonate with all internet stakeholders, from the ISPs to the content guys is that the more open the system is in terms of access and peering, the more demand there is for these networks. That means ISPs that are trying to block content from entering their networks or force transit providers to pay for peering are doing their part to take more of the overall internet pie, but doing nothing to enlarge it. Meanwhile, efforts to put more IXPs in place, as Google has done in Kenya, help promote cheaper broadband and demand for more broadband.
