Nuovo studio: il 74% di tutte le società europee quotate in borsa e il 68% delle aziende svizzere gestiscono servizi critici sulla tecnologia degli Stati Uniti

None of the European Cloud providers is anywhere near to what Azure, GCP and especially AWS offer in terms of managed services and global presence.

Until that drastically changes, all the nice diagrams and ‘buy from the EU’ lists will be just that.

74%. What a messy representation of reality.

No way it’s only cca 70%. More like 98.

That number is heavily skewed by banks of foreign language speaking nation who are only like that due to sheer inertia of their tech stack. The numbers in any modern business approach 100% and you can tell that by specific industries in every country. (at least thats what i think. Proton just gave fancy graphs)

And of course. Unless Europe is A: ready to spend 100s of billions, and B: ready to stop the tech sector destroying legislation like chat control, then this number will only ever go in one direction.

Hell depending on US actions in the next 6-12 months these numbers might actually *increase* if companies see the US government actively strong-arm the Euro government to stop fucking with the encryption.

Wait a second:

> We researched publicly listed companies for each country in Europe, then used DNS lookups to identify the mail exchange records for each company’s domain. This let us determine what company they use as their email service or email security service providers. And as email is the foundation of most business tech suites, we expect most companies that use US-based email providers also use other their services, like cloud storage, for example.

The fuck is this sort of methodology? Thats the equivalent of looking at the window of a building to determine the manufacturer of the machines you use in your factory.

Paradoxicaly, they made an environment so tightly regulated that no EU big tech can be viable, and now they are at the mercy of a country with very little regulation.

I guess the last 10 years just weren’t enough to learn what a reliable partner the US is.

Thank FSM or GOD, that Trump is so dumb, that he doesn’t know about literally holding the switch to the EU-Economy.

If he asks Microsoft to shut down Windows, Exchange or Excel, EU just implodes.

As always with ads – only half truths. There is no “study”, they simply checked which email providers the companies are using: “We researched publicly listed companies for each country in Europe, then used DNS lookups to identify the mail exchange records for each company’s domain.”

But – as some commenters are assuming – the actual “tech” reliance is potentially higher, when looking at the full value chain comprised of software, hardware, cloud-infrastructure. Let’s not forget: the PC under your office desk – probably using 90% US-components. Most of your corporate productivity tools that can still run offline: US-vendors. Keep in mind that “sovereignty” goes way beyond opening up a datacenter in a cave within the alps – as long as it keeps using US-made hardware.
