"As one of the most digitized societies on earth, Denmark’s attempt to decouple from Silicon Valley offers a foretaste of the struggles that await the rest of the European Union. The outcome of this experiment will answer a critical question for the continent: Can a small nation effectively regulate the world's most powerful companies, or will the price of resistance — lost revenue, outdated tech, and digital isolation — force them to bend the knee?"

There is still a long way to go, though. I recently worked at a company in Denmark where we deployed our platform either in the customer's preferred cloud provider or on premises. Around 95 percent of our clients required Azure.
