[kictanet] Death of the Silicon Savannah

[robert yawe]

Hi,

Just came across an article about the move of data center locations to the cold arctic regions as a way to reduce on cooling costs and this got me wondering if we might need to rethink the location of the Silicon Savannah closer to the icy peaks of Mt. Kenya, we could have President Kibaki offer some spaces at his new home.
