@bert_hubert .NZ did this a while back sadly - https://internetnz.nz/news-and-articles/internetnz-and-cira-partner-on-a-new-nz-registry/

@alex @bert_hubert They did, but there are differences: .nz outsourced the software but run it on their own hardware; .nl wants to partner on the software development and outsource the hardware.

@mnordhoff @bert_hubert was still a crappy outcome for people who consume .nz like myself imo.

@Ruth_Mottram Given your science background, you might also get a kick (or not) out of https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/co2-global-warming-sensitivity/

@bert_hubert
Thanks, read it for the 2nd time.
Somewhere at the end you write: "I do have some more reading materials linked below."

But the 'below' got lost, I believe.
Did read the Boeing report: fascinating!

@bert_hubert There used to be a time after Fokker where I worked for Ericsson (not NL) in a team where we designed GSM networks from scratch. The equipment used was Ericsson, made in Europe. Same as masts and antennas.
I've also been posted with customers where they still had the technical staff to design and maintain the network.
Our department was closed.
Only the department in Asia remained.
I think most design has even been moved to China.
Same indeed as the NOCs of most Telcos..
Sad!

@bert_hubert I know, read that.
I guess we share the same frustration.

And once in, never out. It's designed to be glue.

@bert_hubert This piece is exactly my impression when I applied for the cloud engineer job there last summer. Nobody had experience, and the ignorance in the blogpost not falling into the lock-in trap is just the blissful leadership having no clue it is impossible to build agnostic in any Cloud... I'm counting down to mass resignations of people that do have actual skills.

@bert_hubert excellent post! The Boeing document you reference is no longer available, you wouldn't have a copy by any chance?
