Probably a bit too paranoid to suggest some of the wifi improvements over the years also benefited surveillance?

Der Artikel zur Einstellung des M365-Verfahrens bei der EU-Kommission liest sich wie ein Microsoft-Briefing: keine kritischen Fragen, keine technische Analyse, bloßes Nachbeten von PR-Vokabeln wie „EU Data Boundary“. Das ist keine unabhängige Einordnung, sondern Verteidigung wirtschaftlicher und politischer Interessen.
Wenig überraschend: Der Autor berät Unternehmen zu Microsoft. Kritik wäre da wohl geschäftsschädigend.

Verfahren eingestellt: EU-Kommission erfüllt Datenschutz bei Microsoft 365
Die EU-Kommission darf Microsoft 365 einsetzen, die datenschutzrechtlichen Bedenken sind ausgeräumt. Entscheidend ist die EU-Datengrenze.Stefan Hessel (heise online)
hypebot reshared this.
Und währenddessen: Microsoft selbst räumt in einer Parlamentsanhörung ein, dass es keine Garantie gibt, EU-Daten vor US-Zugriff zu schützen. Unter Eid.
Genau das blendet der Autor des M365-Artikels vollständig aus – obwohl es das Fundament seiner ganzen „Datenschutz erfüllt“-Erzählung untergräbt.
Wer solche Fakten ausblendet, argumentiert nicht – er verfolgt Interessen.

A recent study by telecom analyst firm Tarifica, which examined the change in fixed broadband ISP pricing between 2023 and 2025 across six major European countries (Italy, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands), has found that prices fell in every country except the UK where they rose by 7.86%.
I was a customer of NTL and Virgin Media (after they bought NTL) for about a decade. Every year, either the price went down or the speed went up.
I was pretty shocked by BT (OpenReach FTTP) putting up the price every year. That's just not a thing that should happen with infrastructure: the sunk costs are paid off and the costs go down.
Until this year, when it dropped almost 40%, back to slightly below where it was when we moved in, in 2018 (less in real terms).
