Rakuten is in the process of building out its own new 4G mobile network in Japan, and has touted it as the world’s first end-to-end fully virtualized, cloud-native network.
Rakuten said that operators can benefit from flexibility and accelerated innovation from OpenRAN that delivers programmable radio access network (RAN) solutions based on General Purpose Processing Platforms (GPPP) and disaggregated software.
TPG, a subsidiary of Australia’s TPG Telecom Group, operates a 4G network in Singapore, and to date has signed up 300,000 customers.
In the U.S., Dish Networks said it decided it will go with an Open RAN architecture for its forthcoming mobile network. and executives have pointed to Rakuten’s approach as a good template for the satellite provider’s new entry into wireless. Unlike Rakuten though, Dish plans to build a 5G network from scratch, rather than 4G.

Overview: Top investment apps in 2020
Acorns: Best for worry-free savings
Acorns is one of the older of the new breed finance apps, but it remains one of the most popular, because of how easy it is to use. You really don’t have to pay much attention once you’ve set up the app. Link a debit or credit card to your account, and Acorns will round up the total on purchases to the next dollar and invest that difference into one of a few ETF portfolios.
The cost is a modest $1 per month for Acorns Invest, though the company offers other features. If you want to take a step up, you can move to Acorns Later, which is bundled with Acorns Invest, for an additional $1 per month. Acorns Later is the company’s version of an individual retirement account (IRA), and you’ll be able to open one of three versions: the traditional, Roth or a SEP.
And for an additional $1 per month, you can add Acorns Spend, which provides a FDIC-protected checking account with a debit card, among other things.
Why you want this app: You like getting automatic savings while you’re spending without worrying about it. You like retirement investing without the hassle.

Nokia is enabling automation in network and service lifecycle management within the Rakuten Mobile cloud environment. This will accelerate the pace of service innovation and deployment while controlling Opex.
Nokia is supporting over 160 virtual network function instances across two data centers in a multivendor cloud environment.
Friedrich Trawöger, head of Operate & Managed Services Unit at Nokia, said: “By managing its telco cloud we can help Rakuten Mobile to focus on its objectives; to launch its mobile LTE network and to rapidly realize its vision as a 5G digital service provider.”
Tareq Amin, chief technology officer of Rakuten Mobile, said: “With Nokia supporting the operation of our cloud native network, we can focus on service launch and expansion.”

Allein das wird den Gewinn in Q1/20 um 365,5 Millionen US-Dollar erhöhen und zu einem Zufluss von ca. 800 Millionen US-Dollar führen – eventuell auch mehr, wenn Overdrive nach dem Kauf für 410 Millionen in 2015 zwischenzeitlich aufgwertet worden sein sollte.
„The two sides did not provide a price tag for the Ohio-based property, which Rakuten purchased for $410 million in 2015 , but Rakuten said it would recognize about $365.6 million in profit from the sale in the first quarter of 2020.“

The Adomni platform has more than 160,000 digital screens available across U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia.
Uber’s deal provides some of the same revenue-generating options as the one made last week by Lyft. Only this ride-share company acquired U.S.-based startup Halo Cars. The deal allows drivers to generate money through digital advertisements displayed on screens atop of their cars.
Halo Cars, founded in 2018, has operations in major U.S. cities, such as New York and Chicago.
Lyft said earlier this month that its active rider base in the fourth quarter grew to 22.9 million from 22.3 million the previous quarter, compared with Uber's total of global 111 million active platform users in the same period.
Halo’s website touts real-time tracking of ads through a dashboard that shows the number of pedestrians exposed to the ad, demographics reached, and more. Advertisers can make changes and publish live messages in seconds. A bi-weekly report provides details on the total impression reach segmented by zip code, average age, household income, and time.
