Microsoft reached a deal with CISPE, a group of cloud infrastructure providers in Europe, which agreed to withdraw its complaint with the European Commission.
Microsoft has reached a settlement with an industry group backed by European cloud infrastructure providers, quelling an antitrust battle that could have embroiled it for years and resulted in fines. But if Microsoft doesn’t hold up its end of the bargain in the next nine months, the group has promised to revive its antitrust complaint with the European Commission.
Microsoft will also pay CISPE an undisclosed amount to cover the cost of litigation and fair software licensing campaigns over the last three years. Reuters reported the deal is in the multimillions. CISPE also said it would not start or support other complaints on the topic of the settlement, though it can still comply with requests for information from regulators.
