I don't fully buy in to AT&T's doom and gloom assessment of things, but about time at least one of their (VMWare's) big customers finally pulled the trigger and took action against them.
I can't believe I'm about to say this - I think I can taste a bit of sick.... ok breath.... ok... - but I hope that AT&T win... not that it will save the current direction VMWare is headed - Broadcom will end up doing a better job killing them off for profit than any of the other VM/Hypervisor software solutions could have done through normal competition.

AT&T sues Broadcom for breach of VMware support deal
Telco giant slams silicon-and-software shop for trying to bully it into buying software it doesn't want or need, at huge prices
US telecoms giant AT&T has alleged Broadcom has reneged on an extended support deal it struck with VMware, and warned the consequences could be massive outages for customer support operations – and even the US president's office.
