T-Mobile has filed a lawsuit against Broadcom in a New York court, arguing that Broadcom was contractually obligated to continue supporting its VMware perpetual licenses after the company attempted to renew support for a third year at around $5.28 million but was refused. The dispute stems from Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, after which it discontinued perpetual licenses in favour of more expensive subscription bundles. A judge has granted T-Mobile a temporary injunction allowing it to receive support through August 2026, while the company continues migrating tens of thousands of virtual machines off VMware — a complex process involving over 1,000 applications.
