Microsoft is in discussions with the Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe (CISPE) to tackle the EU antitrust complaint concerning the company’s cloud computing licensing practices. The talks are focused on resolving concerns raised by CISPE, which submitted a complaint to the European Commission in 2022, alleging that Microsoft’s contractual terms were negatively impacting the cloud computing ecosystem in Europe.
Microsoft aims to settle the matter through bilateral discussions, seeking to avoid a prolonged EU investigation that might lead to fines and mandated alterations to its business practices.
