I have worked with Deutsche Telekom in the past and I'm convinced that every project that involves them will never get enough traction to beat US companies.

The entitlement and refusal to listen to other people outside their direct org is mindboggling, its like if everyone at that company still thinks they are the hottest shit and they know everything better. Sadly, they are a gatekeeper. Super frustrating partner to work with

+1 on that. Same with the owner of the CSP mentioned in the article above.

It's weird because it was always only German companies that gave truly unreasonable feature requests AND were extremely pushy, despite not spending much compared to other customers.

T-Mobile is much easier to deal with, but they are also walking with their tail between their legs...
