Government and entrepreneurs a marriage made in hell?
summary
Debate centers on concrete frictions: Europe remains 28 different markets with roaming barriers until recently, making scale hard for startups while one platform already networks across 100 countries and launched a cloud service with Deutsche Telekom. Public-private fixes cited include broadband subsidies and a Portuguese €200 million co-investment program, FEMA partnering with Twilio and TaskRabbit shows operational collaboration, and controversy over a 150,000 petition highlights political risk from revolving-door moves.
