- Justice Department sues to block HPE's $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks — The Department of Justice's Antitrust Division filed a complaint in the Northern District of California on January 30, 2025, seeking to block Hewlett Packard Enterprise's proposed $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks. The complaint alleges the merger would eliminate competition between the second- and third-largest enterprise wireless networking providers, reduce innovation, raise prices, and harm American businesses and institutions in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act. The post-merger entity and market leader Cisco would control over 70% of the market.
