| 10 Aug 2026, 5:15 PM | The Register | 2.5 | London still dominates Britain's datacenter map, but the regions are powering up
A UK datacenter analysis by Karas Plating counts 555 UK server farms totaling ~1.6 GW IT capacity, with London holding 219 facilities (~40%) and ~1,048 MW (~two-thirds) of colocation capacity. Regional growth is accelerating due to London power shortages and planning constraints, with South East England having 10 planned developments and North West England having 5. Why: Minimal direct impact for Malaysian builders. The only transferable lesson is the pattern of datacenter concentration causing power and planning bottlenecks that push growth to secondary regions—a dynamic relevant if evaluating where to deploy cloud or colocation capacity in SEA markets with similar capital-vs-region tensions. |
| 14 Aug 2026, 7:44 PM | The Register | 1.5 | TalkTalk Business and ARO to borg into UK tech services giant
TalkTalk Business and UK managed services provider ARO plan to merge, creating a combined entity with ~£200M annual revenue and 70,000+ business customers. Megabuyte notes ARO is the larger business by earnings, while most customers are TalkTalk Business small-business clients, with cross-selling of ARO's mobile, Microsoft, and cybersecurity services as the strategic rationale. Why: Little direct relevance to Malaysian builders; this is a UK domestic telecom-MSP consolidation play with no AI, agent, or developer-tooling angle. Skip unless you compete in UK managed services. |
