Wednesday, July 1, 2026
T-Mobile is moving tens of thousands of virtual machines off VMware software, according to a lawsuit filed by the company. T-Mobile's action follows Broadcom's acquisition of VMware and changes to its licensing support structure. In the lawsuit, T-Mobile alleges that Broadcom ceased support for perpetual licenses and is pressuring customers to switch to subscription-based models. T-Mobile seeks to compel Broadcom to continue supporting its existing perpetual licenses.
