CORNERING THE SERVER MARKET

An entrepreneur who went bust in the country's financial collapse wants to make Iceland the world's computer server farm. Servers sited there could be cooled not by refrigeration but by "just open[ing] the doors and let[ing] the wind blow through". There's also plentiful zero-carbon-footprint electricity. Cisco and Microsoft are reported to be considering establishing Icelandic server farms. So it looks like Iceland might be notable for something other than Björk Guðmundsdóttir and water-skimming cars.

Note: The title should actually be "CORNERING THE SERVER FARM MARKET".
