Lyft continues to expand beyond its core ride-hailing business into bikes, scooters, transit and now rental cars. The company said Thursday that it's taking Lyft Rentals, a pilot program that launched in December, and expanding it through a partnership with Sixt.
Lyft Rentals initially gave folks in Los Angeles and San Francisco the ability to rent vehicles through its app, which might be traditionally used to hail a ride or grab a shared scooter. The pilot was successful enough to warrant an expansion, but with one notable change. Lyft owns and operates the rental fleet in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The new partnership will shift that responsibility to Sixt, a global rental car company with more than 70 locations in the United States. Lyft said it will continue to own and operate the rental fleet in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The car rental option via the Sixt partnership will initially expand to Las Vegas, Miami and Seattle. Lyft said it plans to expand to all cities within the Sixt rental network in the U.S. in the coming months.

Here is a list of the most common types of affiliate websites and types of business models they support, for use in signing up as a publisher in the Rakuten Affiliate Network.
•§Loyalty/Rewards - Select this option if your primary business model is based on loyalty or rewards. For example, your site offers points, donations, or other rewards for purchasing at selected merchants. Loyalty/reward sites give something back to the consumer in exchange for purchasing through the advertiser’s site. A percentage of the advertiser commission is used to pay a reward to the end user. Rewards come in many forms including cash, airline miles, credit card points, or a percent of sale given to an organization.
•§Coupons (Vouchers)/Deals - Select this option if your primary business model is based on offering coupons and deals to your customers.
•§General Shopping - Select this option if your primary business model is shopping. Shopping sites can be thought of as a virtual mall. The consumer can shop for various products and brands without ever having to leave the site. This type of publisher is not focused specifically on coupons and deals.
•§Search - Select this option if your primary business model is based on search. Search publishers promote advertisers via search engine marketing (natural or paid).
•§Price Comparison - Select this option if your primary business model is based on price comparison. Comparison shopping sites sell items where some comparison is made before the purchase. Many times the publisher will have direct product links of the same product from different advertisers.
•§Content/Niche - Select this option if your primary business model is based on content, such as news stories, media, music, or video. Content sites focus on a specific area of interest. This type of site is normally not a shopping site but users go to the site because they are interested in relevant content on site. Content sites that do well with performance-based marketing blend their area of expertise with product recommendations.
•§Social Shopping - Select this option if your primary business model is based on social shopping. Social shopping sites usually combine shopping with user recommendations, reviews, lists, and other social network features.
•§User Generated - Select this option if your primary business model is based on user-generated content such as communities, forums, and social networks.
•§Other - Select this option if your primary business model does not fall into any of the other categories.

"In praktisch jeder Hinsicht hat der weltgrößte Internetkonzern und Onlinehändler die Erwartungen der Analysten und die eigenen Prognosen übertroffen. Insgesamt stieg der Umsatz um 40 Prozent auf 88,9 Milliarden Dollar, nicht zuletzt getragen vom ungebremsten Boom des Onlinehandels in Zeiten, in denen viele Konkurrenten ihre Läden schließen mussten. Davon profitierten vor allem Onlinehändler wie Amazon."

Denn einmaligen Aufwand zu zählen und einmalige Erträge nicht, macht keinen Sinn.
Laut den Insidern von "Reuters" strebe der Finanzdienstleister eine Bewertung von mehr als 200 Milliarden Dollar an. Zum Vergleich: Deutschlands größtes Kreditinstitut, die Deutsche Bank, ist an der Börse rund 21 Milliarden Dollar deutlich weniger wert. Die Commerzbank kommt daneben sogar "nur" auf eine Marktkapitalisierung von 6,69 Milliarden Dollar.
Da laut einem der Reuters-Informanten bei dem Börsengang 5 bis 10 Prozent der Anteile ausgegeben werden sollen, könnte die Emission bis zu rund 20 Milliarden Dollar schwer werden. Damit wäre es weltweit einer der größten IPOs in diesem Jahr.
Verlässliche Informationen zur Ant Financial-Aktie?
"Reuters" berichtete ferner, dass der Nachrichtenagentur Dokumente vorliegen, wonach Ant Financial im vergangenen Jahr Umsätze in Höhe von 17 Milliarden Dollar generieren konnte und unter dem Strich auf einen Nettogewinn von 2,4 Milliarden Dollar kam.

This is especially true when it comes to the Asia-Pacific region, where smartphone penetration is at 70% and acts as a potential growth accelerator for Viber. Currently, the region accounts for nearly 25% of their overall global user base.
During a roundtable session held last week (24) with Viber Asia-Pacific Director Anubhav Nayyar, The Sunday Morning Business learnt that Sri Lanka was among the top five markets for Viber in the region. He explained that this was purely because of three factors, namely the overall market size and penetration, encouraging and healthy growth numbers, and the huge potential the market holds.
“For a country with a population of 22 million, I do think the quality of the audience we have in Sri Lanka is extremely good; from what we have seen, everybody has more reasons and occasions to use us. The time spent on the app is important and I think in Sri Lanka, we see that to be higher than the global average.”
Sri Lanka currently houses 14 million registered Viber users, with an activation growth rate of 13-14% over the previous year. This growth is not only attributed to the usage in larger cities like Colombo and Kandy, but also to smaller towns in rural parts of the country.
“We have seen the usage of Viber grow in other regions in the country, and have data to show that usage. We have also spoken with certain organisations and people, which have confirmed that even the smallest parts of the country also use our services,” said Nayyar.
He also attributed this widespread usage to the infrastructure of the internet in the country and the subsidised prices of smartphones, both of which have given people access to the app.
During the roundtable, Nayyar stated that Viber introduced a new local interface to their platform in January which includes both Tamil and Sinhala languages, in order to provide higher accessibility to their users in Sri Lanka. He explained that while the English penetration in the country is much higher than other countries in the Asian region, they believe that localisation is the future for apps and services such as Viber.
While having entered the Sri Lankan market in 2010, when the app was launched globally, Viber had begun investing in localising the app and partnering with other Sri Lankan organisations back in 2015.
Nayyar claimed that they have seen their localised stickers do well in the Sri Lankan market, when it comes to connecting with their user base. Taking the Sri Lankan Sinhalese and Tamil New Year as an example, he stated that they traditionally do something specifically cultural during April for their local users.
He explained that the response they saw was a key factor when they looked at introducing Sinhala and Tamil as languages on the platform. It was also driven by the fact that their user base also included non-English speakers from rural parts of the country.
“We included the languages in January because we felt that this was very important for the country and specifically for our non-English-speaking users.”
Encrypted messaging apps keep your private data safe from spying eyes. Find out which are the most secure in our extensive 2020 analysis.
By Bill Mann
June 11, 2020
The lack of real privacy and security on the big-name services has resulted in the development of newer messaging apps and services. These aim to provide secure communications that are actually secure. As of now (April 2020), there are dozens of messaging apps available that claim to be secure. In this article, we’ve surveyed the field and come up with what we consider to be the 5 best secure messaging apps of 2020.
After looking at the mass of secure messaging apps available, we came up with five top performers that you may want to consider for your own use.
They are:
Signal
Telegram
Viber
Wickr
Wire Personal
While not very well known in the West, Viber is one of the most popular messaging apps (secure or otherwise) in the world. According to 99firms.com, Viber has more than 1 billion (1,000,000,000) users worldwide. Interestingly, most of those users are located in the former Soviet Union, with relatively few users in places like the United States or European Union.
Viber’s basic features are similar to the other apps we’ve listed here. You can send voice and text messages, photos, videos, to individual users or groups of any size. It also offers voice and video chats, all with end-to-end encryption, and all available on mobile devices and the major desktop operating systems.
Another feature that we particularly like is the way Viber color-codes chats. The coding system is simple and logical:
Green means this particular chat is encrypted, and the contact you are connected to is trusted.
Grey means that the chat is encrypted, but you haven’t marked the contact as trusted.
Red means there is a problem authenticating the contact.
The company has also upped its game when it comes to their End-to-End (E2E) encryption. It used to be that only 1-on-1 communications were protected by E2E encryption. But that all changed with the release of Viber 6.0. Now group chats are also E2E protected, eliminating one of the major complaints people had in the past.
Unfortunately, as you can see in the “Viber Cons” this app still comes up short on some of the privacy features we think are important. On the other hand, with its huge user base, and strong presence in places like Russia and Ukraine, it could still be the ideal app for communicating with your that part of the world.

Ralph Dommermuth, the CEO of United Internet, signaled that its subsidiary 1&1 Drillisch intends to build a high-performance 5G network based on open radio access network (RAN) technology.
1&1 Drillisch is aiming to become Germany's fourth mobile network operator after acquiring 5G-enabling spectrum in 2019. Speaking during the second "Mobilfunkgipfel" (mobile summit) organized by the German government, Dommermuth outlined an ambitious goal: to follow the example of Rakuten Mobile in Japan and build a fully virtualized 5G network in Germany.
It's worth noting here that Rakuten plans to package its new mobile strategy into a product that it will sell to other companies worldwide. It remains to be seen whether 1&1 Drillisch would be interested in benefiting directly from Rakuten's experience, building its network based on the Rakuten Communications Platform. After Rakuten and now Dish, 1&1 Drillisch is only the third mobile operator worldwide – and currently the sole European operator – that seems to have plans to use open RAN on a nationwide scale in a developed market.

The announcement comes one day after the mobile operator picked Nokia for a widescale multi-year contract to enhance 4G capacity, including the deployment of about 300,000 radio units by 2022.
In terms of its work with Altiostar, Bharti Airtel is the first operator in India to deploy vRAN-based 4G network solutions, which it said is a key aspect of its network strategy. The software is 5G-ready and Altiostar said it could seamlessly transition to 5G using the same network architecture. The deployment includes both macro sites and small cells in India, according to Shabbir Bagasrawala, Altiostar's head of Product Go-To-Market.

The last few weeks has seen the performance marketing industry shift and adapt in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. What are your thoughts on the industry’s response during this period?
NS: The performance ecosystem has done an excellent job of arming clients and publishers with critical consumer insights, strategy and support they need to succeed through this period. Affiliate marketing is uniquely positioned to help brands through these challenging times. As true partners to brands and publishers, we offer diverse traffic and pay-for-performance models, meaning we can reduce the risk for brands and help keep customer engagement high. By doing this, we also aid publishers by helping to create fruitful partnerships.
We’ve seen some notable shifts across our network that we’re constantly working to communicate to clients and provide recommendations on how they can tailor their strategies to meet the environment. For example, the pandemic is impacting markets at different levels of severity and at different times. By better understanding these ebbs and flows, we can gauge audiences’ receptivity for marketing in a way that reflects people’s emotions. While it may still not be the right time to sell hard, it is important to refine market strategies that drive engagement and build brand love. Ultimately, brands that are customer-first in their marketing strategies will come out of this crisis best. By offering valuable experiences, brands can drive future loyalty.

As a pioneer of cloud-native mobile networks, Rakuten Mobile has firsthand experience ensuring that its innovative software-driven architecture will be at least as reliable as its predecessors. “As you get to learn and discover the benefits and advantage of cloud, you also get to discover the elegance of software and how, done right, software resiliency, software reliability can enable a network to achieve very high levels of availability,” said Tareq Amin, CTO of Rakuten Mobile, during a presentation in the online event.
Rakuten’s new network in Japan employs a microservices architecture that could theoretically support “an infinite number” of user plane and control plane functions, Amin added. By completely separating the user plane from the control plane, Rakuten’s 4G packet core has the flexibility to direct traffic to different data centers in different locations, as required. That means the network’s data centers can seamlessly support each other, handing over tasks to smoothly manage spikes and surges in traffic.
