AT&T sues Broadcom for refusing to renew perpetual license support
Briefly

AT&T has filed a lawsuit against Broadcom, claiming the company is trying to retroactively change VMware contracts, affecting AT&T's ability to renew support services.
AT&T argues it should receive a one-year renewal for VMware support, critical for maintaining operations, security updates, and preventing potential software failures.
Broadcom's acquisition of VMware led to changes, including the end of perpetual license sales and higher costs, prompting complaints from existing customers like AT&T.
The lawsuit reflects AT&T's concerns over service continuity and operational stability, highlighting the importance of support services in case of software issues.
