Denmark's data centres have quite a small number of people working!

Politicians often express great enthusiasm when tech giants announce plans to build data centres in Denmark. “It’s an apple that has fallen into our lap, and to stick with the Apple theme, we’re on cloud nine,” Torsten Nielsen (K), who was mayor of Viborg Municipality at the time, said when Apple first announced its data centre back in 2015 . He expected 10,000 new jobs to be created in the municipality. This prospect of hundreds—if not thousands—of new jobs is often cited as a huge benefit to society. Among other places, in West Jutland, where Microsoft is planning to build three large data centres. “I am very pleased when large companies as Microsoft choose to make significant investments in Denmark and help create new jobs. I am confident that this new data center region in the municipalities of Esbjerg and Varde can help develop West Denmark and contribute to growth, new jobs and even greater progress,” Stephanie Lose (V), then minister for economic affairs, said in Microsoft’s pre...

Disney Plus and Hulu to get more expensive

 Disney is once again adjusting the pricing for its ad-free subscription plans for both Disney Plus and Hulu, effective this coming fall. Starting from October 12th, the monthly cost for Disney Plus will be raised to $13.99, while Hulu's ad-free tier will see an increase to $17.99. The ad-supported levels for both platforms will, at least for the time being, remain at $7.99 per month.

In an effort to offset this price adjustment, Disney is introducing a new combined subscription option that offers ad-free access to both Disney Plus and Hulu for a monthly fee of $19.99. This package will be available from September 6th.

However, the individual subscription price hikes for the standalone services are significant. Approximately a year ago, Disney previously raised the monthly fee for Disney Plus to $10.99, while the cost for ad-free Hulu went up to $14.99. As a result, Disney Plus now costs more than the ad-free version of Warner Bros. Discovery's Max service, which is currently priced at $15.99 per month.

Furthermore, the three-in-one bundle featuring Disney Plus (ad-free), Hulu (ad-free), and ESPN Plus (with ads) will also undergo an increase, now priced at $24.99. Subscribers to Hulu with Live TV and ads will see a monthly cost of $76.99, while the commercial-free version will experience an uptick to $89.99 from its current rate of $82.99.

Disney's streaming offerings have expanded considerably within the US, encompassing various options and tiers. In order to provide clarity on the available choices, the company has included a comprehensive table in a recent press email, including the upcoming "Duo Premium" plan alongside the existing offerings.
