Good evening. Minister, may I put the first question to you? In your plan, ‘A Better Britain For Us’, you claimed that you would build 88,000 million billion houses a year in the Greater London area alone. In fact, you’ve built only three in the last fifteen years. Are you a bit disappointed with this result?

UK mapping agency the Ordnance Survey is heading into gaming territory with £6m tender for developer team
UK map maker the Ordnance Survey is looking to hire £6m worth of game developers.
Publishing a contract tender notice, the publicly owned cartographer is asking for bids from “organisations with strong game development experience to help us deliver our new gaming app.”
What exactly that gaming app involves is anyone’s guess right now. An Ordnance Survey spokesman tossed The Register a firm “no comment”, but promised to divulge more details when the time was ripe.
We can only speculate that the well-known crossover between the gamer and rambler communities will be looking forward to rebooting Doom in the Lickey Hills.

Microsoft has announced that it will open an Azure region in Taiwan.
The announcement appears - perhaps curiously - not to have reached Microsoft’s global newsroom or the Azure blog. However Microsoft Taiwan announced that the island nation will get the Azure region and become Microsoft’s Asian operations centre for all things cloud.
Brit startup would like to beam 5G connectivity down at you from hydrogen-fuelled drones
A British startup is hoping to strap 5G antennas to liquid-hydrogen-powered high-altitude pseudo-satellites in the hope of replacing mobile base stations on the ground.
Stratospheric Platforms made a test flight over Germany last Monday (19 October) using a Grob 520 high-altitude “optionally manned” aircraft, and the firm is said to be looking at developing its own hydrogen-powered high-altitude pseudo-satellite (HAPS) for flinging 5G connectivity into the world’s skies.
The trial 45,000ft over Bavaria reportedly saw a single 4G LTE smartphone enjoy “download speeds of 70Mbps and upload speeds of 23Mbps over a 10MHz bandwidth”.
