Broadcom Sued by AT&T | The Gestalt IT Rundown: September 11, 2024

Author: Tech Field Day September 11, 2024 Duration: 37:16

AT&T has decided enough is enough. They have filed a lawsuit over the tactics they claim are putting first responders and critical government services at risk. AT&T is claiming breach of contract because of the new support policy enacted by Broadcom after the VMware acquisition. The key point comes in an amendment in their support agreement that says that AT&T can renew their current support contracts for up to two more years provided they do so before the expiration of their current contract. They are exercising that option now but VMware by Broadcom is not honoring the renewal. AT&T stated they don't have an issue with the business model change, just that it affects them right now and is making them pay more.

Their Tech Field Day News Rundown isn't just a headline recap; it's a conversational dissection where industry veterans apply decades of hands-on experience to separate genuine innovation from mere hype.
