Broadcom is accused of increasing VMware licensing costs by up to 15 times and trapping customers in unnecessarily long contracts.

That’s according to a report by the European Cloud Competition Organisation (ECCO), set up by Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe (CISPE) to monitor Microsoft’s compliance with last year’s settlement to avoid an antitrust complaint.
