"there's a real opportunity here for European companies to step up" and what would be business model? From tiny fraction of people that care about this - wast majority are also the same types, that are known to be unwilling to pay for any service ever even 1 cent.
- benrutter 2y agoI'm not sure that's true - mainly because of some potentially big European customers in government or national infrastructure. They care enough about security and reliability, that they'd very likely choose a European provider over a US one, especially if the existing political climate continues. Companies don't need anywhere near the profits of Google to cover continuous development and maintenance, so while a European tech giant of the size of Google might not seem that likely, a European office suite certainly is more likely.
