BBC World Service’s Tech Life episode of 13 Oct 2026 considers where data centres should be built, including a proposal for a virtual data centre in space.
The proposal involves linking satellites around Earth and using computing power already aboard satellites. The programme summary describes the plan but gives no technical details or indication of its progress.
The episode also features a Facebook whistleblower whose story inspired a new movie, discussing social media and artificial intelligence. A third topic asks whether rotating sails could help reduce exhaust pollution from container ships.
Chris Vallance presents the 26-minute programme. Tom Quinn and Imran Rahman-Jones are credited as producers.
