CISPE unveils cloud watchdog for Microsoft - and plans to monitor Broadcom, VMware too
Briefly

"We are confident that ECCO will be effective in ensuring the spotlight remains on the unfair software licensing practices that restrict customers' choice of cloud," said a CISPE spokesperson.
ECCO will oversee Microsoft's commitment to a settlement agreed earlier this year with CISPE, after the cloud organization accused the software giant of anti-competitive licensing.
ECCO will monitor cloud licensing practices more broadly in the region, keep an eye on other software giants, and monitor practices that restrict cloud choices.
CISPE members will conduct trials and hold a technical summit in the US before filing a progress report. Subsequent progress reports will follow in February and April.
