| Microsoft might close datacentres post Brexit Software King of the World Microsoft might mothball its UK datacentre plans after Blighty decided to pull out of the EU. Microsoft had wanted to set up its datacentres in the UK so that European data did not have to cross the pond to the US. This was because the EU was a little worried about US spooks spying in European citizens and wanted all data to stay here. However, with the UK outside the EU too, the Microsoft set up its databases in the UK is completely pointless. Microsoft’s UK Government Affairs Manager Owen Larter spoke in the What Brexit Means for Tech webinar expressing that the Redmond giant is committed to their branches in the UK. At least, for now. http://www.techeye.net/business/micr...es-post-brexit |
