Google has announced that its two new data centers in Asia, based in Taiwan and Singapore, are now online.

TECHi's Take
As more consumers and businesses take to the cloud for email, file sharing, and other services, Google has been a beneficiary.

So the news that Google is backing off its plans to build a data center in Hong Kong — and instead expand others in Asia — comes as a surprise.
