Honestly I half wish we had some kind of supergiant company on this side of the pond too, despite the drawbacks that brings at least it would guarantee some sense of digital stability.

I've had my gmail account for probably more than a decade now and have never had to worry about it going amiss, meanwhile I look at this list of barely legit sounding names (aside from Proton) and wonder if any of these will be still around in a few years.

Web.de was founded in 1995 and GMX in '97. Both now belong to the gigantic German United Internet AG founded in '88 which currently has roughly 10,000 employees and EUR 5.5bn revenue.

European companies lack the self grandiose promotion that USA companies have. But I think that it is a good thing. I wish USA corporations and CEOs chilled a little.
