"..funded as pilot under the Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative within the European Commission.."

pilot + next gen + initiative + european commission .

This combination of terms == no action.

The last time I participated in a project with all those terms (not 'next gen, it was' future', but the idea is the same), it gave birth to the legislation that forces manufacturers to keep providing spare parts 10 years after product EOL, and to provide plans for independants builders after that.

Long winded way of saying 'you're wrong'.

Not to mention the NGI is not a bunch of words, they have been funding many actionable projects including pretty much all the Fediverse.

That's a US-led project. When you add "Euro" to these things they behave differently.

aha, sure. and other times it gave us Eurocloud. You ARE using Eurocloud, aren't you???

But your win is legislation, apples and oranges, right? so here's a better comparison - "this site contains cookies".
