The DNS resolution times were too long, and Internet access appeared slow. In 2015 during the French Open, the external DNS services suffered a decrease in performance due to a high volume of DNS queries during a short period of time. The quality of these delivered services are key for the reputation of Roland-Garros. Additionally, more than 2,000 journalists (print, radio, and web) and 1,200 VIPs (players and their families and coaches) need an internet connection to cover the event and access applications and the web. During the two weeks of the French Open in Paris, roughly 40 television stations broadcast every match.
