Technology providers for the World Cup laid 8,000 kilometers of cable to keep a computer network running for 12 match venues plus official hotels and media hubs.
Mike Kelly, head of FIFA's IT Solutions estimated 15 terabytes of data - that's 15,000 billion bytes or, the equivalent of 100 million text books - would travel across the network during the June 9-July 9 tournament.
Kelly said an average of 5 million unique users were spending more than 30 minutes on the official World Cup Web site - fifaworldcup.com- with 2.5 billion page views in the first two weeks.
