Uber Technologies hat den Konkurrenten Careem Networks aus dem Mittleren Osten für 3,1 Milliarden US-Dollar gekauft. Das gaben die Unternehmen am 26. März 2019 bekannt. Die Übernahme von Careem ist die bisher größte Akquisition von Uber. Die Marke Careem soll erhalten bleiben und neben Uber im Mittleren Osten weiter existieren, erklärten die Unternehmen.
An Finanzierungsrunden in den vergangenen Jahren beteiligten sich die Kingdom Holding des saudi-arabischen Prinzen al-Waleed bin Talal, Daimler und der japanische Online-Händler Rakuten. Careem wurde im Jahr 2017 von Investoren mit rund 1,2 Milliarden US-Dollar bewertet.

The first of these repair centers opened today in San Fransisco—a company blog post does not state where exactly—with 34 more locations planned by the end of year.
Lyft also plans to roll out a mobile service van program, starting in the Bay Area next month, though details are scarce on what role those might play or what sorts of services they could offer.
At the forefront of what’s being dubbed “Lyft Driver Services” is cost and efficiency, with the company touting its service centers providing “up to 50% [off] on common repairs [...] with a goal of 50% faster service.”

Um zur "ersten Adresse für Smart-TV-Nutzer" zu werden, hat sich das Unternehmen - ähnlich wie Netflix und Amazon Prime Video zuvor - einen eigenen Knopf auf den Fernbedienungen von Samsung, LG, Philips und Hisense erkauft. Mit weiteren Geräteherstellern sei man in Gesprächen, heißt es aus dem Unternehmen. Rakuten-TV-Manager Sidharth Jayant betonte gegenüber dem Nachrichtendienst, dass der Platz auf der Fernbedienung keine kurzfristige Marketingaktion, sondern eine langfristige Strategie sei.
Zugleich will der Video-Streaming-Dienst im Sommer in 30 weitere Länder expandieren. Bislang können Nutzer in Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien, Spanien und UK den Dienst nutzen. Ziel sei es, künftig über 30 Millionen Haushalte zu erreichen. Ab dem zweiten Halbjahr will Rakuten TV auch das Streaming in 8K-Auflösung vorantreiben. Anders als Netflix und Amazon setzt der Dienst nicht auf ein Abo-Angebot, sondern lässt Nutzer ähnlich wie Apple mit iTunes Nutzer digital Filme leihen und kaufen.

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) - Die Aktien des US-Fahrdienstvermittlers Lyft sind vor dem Börsengang in New York bei Anlegern begehrt. Der Uber-Rivale hob die Preisspanne für die Papiere am Mittwoch auf 70 bis 72 Dollar (Dollarkurs) an, wie aus einer Mitteilung an die Börsenaufsicht SEC hervorgeht. Zuvor hatte sie zwischen 62 und 68 Dollar gelegen. Sollte Lyft seine Aktien am oberen Ende der Preisspanne losschlagen, würde das Unternehmen beim Börsengang insgesamt mit fast 25 Milliarden Dollar bewertet. Lyft will mehr als zwei Milliarden Dollar bei Anlegern einsammeln. Am Freitag ist das Debüt an der Technologie-Börse Nasdaq geplant.

While many telcos have tried to become internet platforms, few companies have moved in the opposite direction. “There is no single OTT (over-the-top) player who has even tried to get into the mobile layer,” Rakuten’s founder and CEO Mickey Mikitani told attendees at Mobile World Congress 2019 (MWC19), the mobile industry’s biggest event. But Rakuten is taking the radical step of rolling out its own mobile network in Japan.
In his keynote presentation, Mickey explained that Rakuten’s mobile network will be entirely virtualized and running in the cloud. As a result, he estimated that Rakuten’s investment in 4G is going to be less than half that of traditional telecoms companies, and with the inclusion of 5G, it could achieve a 70% to 80% reduction. He said Rakuten will be able to easily connect AI services, translation services, IoT solutions and other services because the new network “is internet from day one."

Kostolany hat auch mal gesagt kauf das Zeug was Du verstehst und begehrst, lege Dich 10 Jahre schlafen und ernte den Erfolg, angestrebte Ziele :-))
was sind denn Deine? ich habe das Ziel 50 % Plus im Jahr zu erzielen, und..... es klappt.... das 12 Jahr in Folge eingestiegen bin ich mit 0 Rechenaufgabe wo stehe ich heute
und wo wir schon Warren Buffet und Kostolany bemühen müssen, ich denke meine Bilanz liegt zumindest in diesem und in den letzten 3 Jahren weit über Berkshire
"No more spaghetti: simplifying mobile networks
That kind of flexibility is almost unheard of in telecoms. “The mobile network has always been a mystery,” Mickey added. “For me, coming from the internet world, it looked like spaghetti.” Those words resonated with a subsequent speaker, Hatem Dowidar, CEO of Etisalat International, who said: “Even legacy operators like us don’t like the spaghetti, and we are doing more and more virtualization.”
During his keynote presentation, Cisco CEO and Chairman Chuck Robbins recounted how he and Mickey had agreed to work together on the new network one year earlier at the same event in Barcelona. He said Cisco, one of several key partners in the venture, subsequently deployed 60 to 70 technology specialists in Japan to develop the cloud-native network with Rakuten. "
