License fees 8 to 15 times higher since VMware became part of Broadcom

European VMware users have seen their bills rise sharply. A tenfold increase is common, with peaks of up to 15 times higher costs.

This is according to the European Cloud Competition Observatory (ECCO) in a new study. Due to a lack of alternatives, customers are being forced to pay. There has already been controversy about the explosive price increases: AT&T reportedly faced an annual price increase of 1,050 percent, took legal action, and found a solution.
