   France is deploying a homegrown, open-source alternative to Teams and   
   Zoom, as another small step in the ongoing Europe-wide move towards   
   getting rid of dependence on US-based services   
   .   
      
   Note the warning from the Ericsson boss that the whole “digital   
   sovereignty” movement is “dangerous” -- scaremongering language, if   
   ever there was such a thing. Sure, the prices will likely be higher.   
   But remember, that money will be going to local businesses, not to the   
   USA. And it’ll be in EUR, not USD. That will likely help the economy   
   more than hurt it.
