From Reuters, EU antitrust regulators are questioning Broadcom about changes to VMware’s licensing conditions following complaints from EU business users and a trade group. The changes allegedly resulted in price increases, re-bundling of licenses, and a ban on reselling licenses. Broadcom has announced changes in response, including reducing the price of VMware Cloud Foundation and standardizing pricing across cloud providers.
Leave it to European regulators to help out. This is a welcome update. We’ll see what they find.
