- Mirioron 8y agoI think what's much more interesting is that the only approved vendor is Amazon.
- expertentipp 8y agoI see nothing strange in it. German businesses consider „cloud” and internet in general as dumb and obsolete cost inducing topic. I can totally imagine no local provider being able to comply.
- drieddust 8y agoThis might be due to my limited experience in Germany but this seems to be the norm. Competition is not that fierce and customers have few or no options. I don't know if it's due to rigid regulations or business owners know customers don't have many options.
