The report argues that restrictions favoring European cloud providers would leave governments and businesses facing hefty bills to migrate workloads and rewrite software. It puts direct public-sector costs at €33.3 billion, with a further €80 billion potentially falling on private companies in sectors including banking, healthcare, energy, and transport.
So those €115B is the cost of decoupling from Trumpland. If governments go Linux and FOSS in their software, that will save so much money in the long run
Those hefty bills to migrate will be paid to European IT companies, which will handle the migration.
I am assuming they do not have a big HQ in Ireland and pay their proper taxes.
So no matter how we do it, it is always a win for us.
Biggest challenge is convincing people using Linux and FOSS products.
But it tells me the US Mag7 are worried, if they threaten us with such a hefty bill. 🤣
How much would it raise though? Money staying in the EU as well.
