Pinwan, Nov. 9 (Reuters) – CISPE, a trade group including Amazon, filed a complaint with EU antitrust regulators on Wednesday, local time, according to Reuters . CISPE said the new contract terms that Microsoft implemented on October 1, along with the company’s other practices, are causing irreparable damage to the European cloud computing ecosystem.
In terms of market share, Amazon is the market leader in cloud computing, followed by Microsoft and Google. “At a time when European customers are looking to move to the cloud, Microsoft has used its dominance in productivity software to limit customer choice and raise costs for customers, affecting European growth,” Francisco Mingorance, secretary general of CISPE, said in a statement. digital economy.”
In its complaint to the European Commission, CISPE said the company used its dominance in productivity software to disadvantage European competitors by directing European customers to its own Azure cloud computing infrastructure. In addition, Microsoft’s anticompetitive behavior includes discriminatory bundling and tying of its products, pricing in its own favor, and locking in customers on a technical and competitive level.
