My question is relevant to Boost Asio in the sense that I was wondering as 
to whether there are any specific reasons not to make the io_service object 
in particular, global. If this is not the case, which is to say no special 
reasons not to make io_service in particular global, then you are right; it 
is a design question and I then have nothing further to enquire about.

Kind regards,

your question is not relevant to boost::asio. You question is a design
question:

Should a frequent-accessed variable being global?

My taste to your question is: I don't like global variable, so I would like
to pass the reference around.
