Re: Do as I say...
I think that's sort of the point: install our backdoors not theirs.
The problem for the US as I see it, is that even with all the sniffers that the NSA can muster (and it's a fuck of a lot), lots and lots of relevant information is still gathered the old-fashioned way and America could lose out big time if, say the French were stop passing on the information it receives from the Maghreb. Not that they're likely to do this any time soon, but rinse and repeat for a whole load of countries and it could get, er, interesting.
And, of course, no EU country is really going to run the risk of being taken to court over anti-competitive practises.
