- There was no EU tendering procurement done by GÉANT for purchasing Vidyo licenses. This puts a serious limitation on the number of licenses that can be purchased by the community all together and implies other difficulties in complying with the national public procurement rules and regulations in the different EU countries.
- Due to the given complexity of the specific deal, the underlying agreements are governed by three different jurisdictions and laws; the US law, the UK law and the Swiss law. This represents a chain of risks to the NRENs coming from a third European country.
- The uncertainty around the SLAs and other commitments in the specific model further increases the likeliness of the NRENs' negative opinion.
- The offered unit price of the Vidyo licenses cannot be attractive enough without procurementtendering, it remains in the same ballpark that NRENs could individually could negotiate for.
