On the news front, EU antitrust regulators are conducting an in-depth review of the licensing reforms Broadcom implemented following its $61 billion acquisition of VMware. Regulators have sent questionnaires to European cloud service providers, focusing on whether VMware products are irreplaceable and whether the new certification mechanisms impose unfair restrictions. With a critical March 31 deadline approaching, some smaller European service providers may lose the ability to resell VMware subscriptions, raising concerns about potential revenue risks to Broadcom's infrastructure software business. Additionally, Broadcom recently stopped providing public downloads of the VMware VDDK development toolkit, further tightening control over the VMware ecosystem.
