    European politics is far from perfect, although it is arguably better and less corrupt than in the US now. But it was not politics that killed European mobile phone industry - it was competition along with mismanagement and miscalculations of the European mobile phone manufacturers. Symbian was just a weak and clumsy platform compared to iOS and Android, it could not compete in a changing market.

      lol, android and ios was as clumsy as symbian, difference was that android and ios was backed by us gov contracts for apps and phones for gov administration and that’s why they could improve basically for free, where symbian got to compete without gov money. But no people don’t see big gov contracts behind those “great” silicon valley companies because those articles are not main stream. There is no public money public code. Blind dumb fucks. European politics just sell gov data and tech contracts to us companies for last 10-15 years instead of backing EU companies. Keep living in lies.
