CISPE

CISPE press release claims Broadcom has excluded the vast majority of European CSPs from offering VMware services under any terms; removed end customers’ Bring Your Own License (‘BYOL’) rights, restricting them to Broadcom’s own choice of a few hand-picked partners to host their workloads; imposed relentless unilateral contractual changes and cost increases that are driving European CSPs out of the market. They note SAP has embarked on increasingly worrying practices as well.
