Dear Ricardo,<br>
<br>
you ask very pertinent questions. In my opinion either this is a
service that is open to all and offers an alternative to open
resolvers like the Google DNS, etc. which are mostly US based. Thus
the metadata associated with the searches will no longer be
available to the commercial, for profit operations that offer these
services. In this case, it is just another service, and a bit
expensive for what it is...<br>
Or this service is a first step to making the use of a local DNS
server falling under the proposed structure mandatory, for various
reasons to "save" European users from resolving sites that have
malware & might be a security risk, to start with, quickly
moving to and infrastructure that can be used for censorship and
totalitarianism in the future. Perhaps the technology could be sold
to North Korea too?!<br>
<br>
Or it's something which I don't understand. That's why I am asking
here. Perhaps someone has an inside track to the brilliant minds in
Brussels?<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>

<div> This announcement was recently made by the European
Commission:<br>
<br>
The European Commission plans to onboard 100 million people
to a new EU-based DNS internet infrastructure. The DNS4EU
will be developed by international consortium led by Czech
company Whalebone.<br>

It's unclear how that will affect the European DNS. If you
have any ideas, feel tree to share them.<br>
Happy holidays,<br>
