The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has approved Broadcom’s $61 billion deal to acquire VMWare. Following an in-depth “Phase 2” review, the CMA found that Broadcom’s deal to buy VMWare “would not substantially reduce competition in the supply of server hardware components in the UK.” It’s one of the biggest tech acquisitions ever, behind Dell’s $67 billion EMC deal and Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion.
