Comment What's the problem? (Score 2) 54

>"The matter is somewhat urgent," The Register reports, because a court-ordered support arrangement expires August 3, "so T-Mobile may soon be unable to get support for its very substantial VMware estate." ... The carrier fired back by pointing out that it has made just two support calls in 2026, which hardly justifies such a massive staff and expense.

They have a perpetual license, so can keep running VMWare without support. If they only had 2 support calls in the last year, it seems they should be able to move on to another solution without any urgent need for support. If they make a breaking change to a system, move that to the new platform. For the other existing stuff, keep calm and carry on.
