Request dataSix topics NextHop speaks on
For each topic, the public editorial angle NextHop takes, to help you prepare an interview.
Digital sovereignty
A journalistic reading of the subject: what is documented, what is claimed, what can be verified. NextHop’s position: sovereignty is a measurable discipline, not a slogan.
CLOUD Act and FISA 702
US legal framework, extraterritorial reach, recent case law. Position: a real and significant impact, but often poorly articulated in calls for tender.
European data centres
Mapping, ownership, transit, PUE, certifications. Position: the diversity of operators is underestimated, and so is the concentration of ownership in 4-5 major players.
French Tech and hosting
The real cloud footprint of Bpifrance-labelled start-ups. Position: technical dependence on US hyperscalers is the norm, and the sovereignty conversation in this segment is very limited.
Public sector cloud audits
Applicable frameworks (SecNumCloud, HDS, EUCS), anonymised lessons learned. Position: maturity is progressing quickly among mid-sized companies and local authorities, more slowly in ministries.
Cloud comparison
Price benchmarking method across providers. Position: the on-demand price gap between hyperscalers and sovereign providers is real but often overstated outside RI/SP.
