Most of the time one can't compete by mimicking. We lost on European cloud but European hosting has never been as strong.

We’ve seen a massive consolidation in hosting, domain, collocation and even B2B access providers in Germany. Some were sold to US companies, others are purchased and now owned by private equity companies. They are now centralized and based of existing revenue streams. Managed services are getting consolidated to reduce infra overhead but no new intellectual property or regionally optimized/local services are provided.
