	Optical Keyhole: IXEurope Q&A
		For customers, the advantage is that their data centre equipment is located in a site with better network connectivity than would be available from their own building, plus the power and environment is very carefully managed and there are technicians on-site to quickly deal with any faults.
		The second factor is that the data centre business is an outsourcing measure, implemented primarily by large corporate customers, and IT managers are disinclined to move strategic operations to a building that is outside of their control.
		For data centre operators that have survived the past four years, it is frustrating to discover that while there is a huge potential market, they cannot address it because their facilities are not suitable.

	Argan oil as a geographic indication
		According to the Organization for an International Geographical Indications Network (ORIGIN) geographical indications are "...signs used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that place of origin...
		Geographical indications are distinct from indications of source, which are nothing more than signs that specify that a product originated in a specific geographical region...
		Whereas trademarks put emphasis on the producer or manufacturer of a product, a geographical indication highlights the geographical region of origin of a good and the characteristics which are derived there from." (5) The European Union (EU) is seen as the pioneer of GIs since it is the primary region insisting that they be recognized.

		Europe has an area of 4.0 million square miles, compared to 9.4 million square miles for North America (3.5 million of which is the United States).
