I keep seeing over and over how Europe should be self sufficient. I’d be happy for Europe to be self sufficient.

But the truth is that Europe does not have the infrastructure and offering to be self sufficient. Even looking at basic things like AWS SES, there is no European offering. Apart from scaleway, there are no competitions for big cloud providers. There are no alternative to office suites.

And I’m not even talking about hardware. What’s the point to build data centers if they run US made hardware.

So, as the saying goes: talk is cheap, show me the software.

Perhaps there should be an EU committee to draft a mandate for a working group tasked with identifying the necessary stakeholders for a preliminary report on digital infrastructure.

Perhaps instead there should be a president enriching himself and insulting citizens executed by his goons.
