I agree. It's about time that the EU actually tried to work on their own thing and stopped being so rely on technologies controlled by other countries. This way we might actually get some competitive offering and stop funneling so much money to other powers for something that has become a basic necessity. It won't be easy but considering what Huawei was able to accomplish in 5 short years, it definitely isn't impossible, we just need political will and a minimum amount of funding behind it. I enjoy the US technologies but there is no reason we can't do as well (if not better with the benefits of hindsight) and we definitely should work on that. I was one of the French minitel critics, but it now seems like they were just wrong on the technical part, not the political side. Even if something might be inferior at some point, it seems like it's worth taking a hit to be able to control your own future.
