To get one is great but to play that into hubs from both MS and Amazon would really put Calgary in an enviable position. That's some 3D chess for sure.

Datacentres are definitely very important to the internet going forward, and are an efficient method of delivering content, storing and processing data, and doing everything companies used to do with onsite servers. Having AWS so close means really good things for us in general, because the internet for AWS hosted sites will be faster and more responsive. Good for users, good for business.

100%. That disturbance in the force you feel? A million voices in business/economic development cranking out new slides for their pitch decks on Calgary. This is a big win for the tech sector here.
