On Wednesday, Amit Zavery, the head of Alphabet’s Google Cloud, stated that the subsidiary will explore other options in its ongoing battle against Microsoft’s licensing practices. This announcement followed Microsoft’s agreement with the trade body CISPE to resolve an antitrust complaint regarding its cloud licensing practices.
“Many regulatory bodies have opened inquiries into Microsoft’s licensing practices, and we are hopeful there will be remedies to protect the cloud market from Microsoft’s anti-competitive behavior,” Zavery said.
“We are exploring our options to continue to fight against Microsoft’s anti-competitive licensing to promote choice, innovation, and the growth of the digital economy in Europe,” he added.
