AT&T accuses Broadcom of ‘extortion’ over VMware support, warns of National security risks

AT&T has filed a lawsuit against Broadcom, accusing the tech giant of refusing to honor a VMware support deal unless AT&T buys costly subscriptions. The telecom warns that failing to secure support for its 75,000 VMs, which serve critical national security functions, could lead to major outages, including risks to the Office of the President and emergency services. Broadcom denies the claims.
