Broadcom's acquisition of VMware is under scrutiny by the EU Court following a complaint from CISPE alleging improper approval by the European Commission. CISPE claims that Broadcom has abused its dominant position by tightening licensing and raising prices, adversely affecting the cloud market in Europe. They argue VMware software, crucial for virtualization, faces restricted access due to these changes. The EU General Court will hear CISPE's objections and determine if the Commission needs to review its prior approval of the $61 billion acquisition, potentially impacting future competition decisions in the tech sector.
CISPE alleges that Broadcom has been abusing its new dominant position since the takeover of VMware, tightening licensing conditions and raising prices detrimental to the European cloud market.
CISPE claims that VMware software, essential for virtualization and widely used by cloud providers, faces restricted access due to Broadcom's stricter conditions and higher costs.
There will be a hearing organized by the EU General Court to address CISPE's objections regarding the European Commission's approval of the Broadcom-VMware acquisition.
CISPE has expressed concerns with European regulators repeatedly, but asserts that no substantial actions have been taken to resolve these problems since the acquisition.
