Microsoft revises cloud terms after EU pressure but CISPE stays silent on details

Microsoft has submitted a revised licensing offer to CISPE, the European cloud trade group that previously accused the company of discriminatory pricing practices. The proposal, reportedly financial in nature, arrives after delays on a promised Azure Local solution. Sources suggest Microsoft may drop customer list requirements and ease SPLA fees, but questions linger over future costs. CISPE says it is reviewing the terms and will decide in the coming weeks.
