The author confuses ISPs and business The state of ISPs in the US is dire. There is almost no free market. The EU has a much better market for ISPs. but thats nothing really to do with GDPR, its more to do with competition rules in the late 90s early 2000s. The roll out of 4g is a prime example. In the EU, countries rolled out actual 4g. In the US they were renaming LTE as 4g, instead of rolling out actual 4G. As for business, yes EU companies appear to need to go to the states to get funding, thats primarily because the bar for funding is much lower in the states than it is in the EU.
