Internet protocols don’t care what arch you’re running. Commercial software will probably be slow to catch up to architecture diversification but open source will be right at home. It’s not so dire, even a good thing as it will break the US stranglehold on processor tech.

Eh, not really. More than anything, this is just a step in the RISC-ification of more hardware as everything goes that way.

This just sounds like common sense to me. I never understood why government “secure” equipment uses foreign or public systems. I know the cost of such a type of system could be astronomical for a country but it can greatly increase and create competition for tech components. I’m at the point where if you need internet access to function in everyday society then that needs to be provided by the government and a system like the one I described could fill that void and create a lot of jobs.

it would take most countries decades and way too much money to do this considering most countries are also not developed ones

It is common sense and it’s why they did it as quickly as possible. They had to build up the industrial capacity to actually do it.
