> Europe's critical talent blind-spot. The misconception that cloud competitiveness requires massive data centres persists despite hardware costs dropping to nearly 1/8th since 2016... The real competitive advantage lies in the software engineers who build sophisticated infrastructure management systems. European companies fundamentally undervalue these specialists, resisting competitive salaries while failing to recognise that this talent - not physical infrastructure - creates the efficiencies that make cloud computing revolutionary. This cultural blind-spot has proven more damaging than any funding gap.

ah. Finally, someone to see the elephant in the room.

Although, still nothing is mentioned about the smartphone-universe, and what it means that being colonized.
