According to Deloitte, more than 50% of car trips taken across the United States in a year cover less than five miles. This makes it ideal for light-weight transport modes such as electric scooters to be profitable alternative options, opening up a vast market segment that could be worth $22 billion by 2024, per Global Market Insights.

Investors are starting to understand the value of ride-sharing companies like Uber and Lyft, despite ongoing concerns about their ability to generate a profit, the finance chief of one of Russia’s biggest internet companies said.

“What the Uber and Lyft trading performance is telling us is the market’s kind of starting to realize the value of the technology that goes into building these marketplaces,” Yandex CFO Greg Abovsky told CNBC’s Geoff Cutmore Thursday.

“What people have realized is that the competitive dynamics between the two won’t always be this intense, that over time it will subside.”

He added: “What will all of a sudden materialize is that you have two very large, very established players providing very unique services.”

How is Rakuten disrupting the status quo in the mobile communications market and what’s your ultimate vision for the services you can provide?

AMIN: Our approach to our mobile offering is based on three key principles – it is content rich; customer-experience driven; and software-centric. This is very different from a traditional CSP (communications services provider) which tends to be focused on selling connectivity first. We are offering an experience that isn’t just about our mobile network or about voice, text and data.
Our experience ties into the content leadership in our ecosystem, our membership-based business model and our concept of customer affiliation. No CSP has the kind of ecosystem we have developed or the idea that a customer is a member with a digital ID within that ecosystem that enables this very powerful.

SAN JOSE (KPIX 5) — Lyft became the third operator to launch e-scooters in San Jose Thursday, but was also the first to be officially permitted under the city’s new regulations set to go into effect July 1.
“We’re thrilled to bring Lyft Scooters to San Jose and provide a quick, affordable and sustainable way to move around – all within a single app,” said Lyft Northern California Market Manager Jake Darby in an email to KPIX 5.

“Lyft is committed to a future where cities are built around people instead of private cars — and Lyft scooters can play a key role in furthering this movement locally here in San Jose,” said Darby.

With fewer than six months from design and development to launch, the project to relaunch the U.K. and Spain affiliate malls kicked off in September 2018, releasing the final, all-new platform in February 2019. Rakuten Aquafadas’ technology “Stitch” was chosen to replace the old system, allowing for greater flexibility while significantly increasing the usability for content teams.

Now visitors to Rakuten.co.uk and Rakuten.es will be able to enjoy fresh deals, new content and updated curations much more regularly. Meeting consumer needs — more than 50 percent of customers already visit the mall on their mobile device — is easier than ever with an enhanced mobile experience and increased usability.

“We’re about to launch our services as part of the German marketplace Rakuten.de’s Club membership program.”And more is on the horizon. Operating on Rakuten Aquafadas’ platform already lays the next step to address audience need. Being one of the leading app publishers, it will be only a matter of time before a brand new Rakuten Shopping app hits app stores and takes Europe by storm.

Dass Rakuten verstanden hat, für die überwiegende Mehrzahl seiner Händler noch lange nicht die einzige Plattform zu sein, zeigt der Marktplatzbetreiber durch eine Kooperation mit Plentymarkets. Andere Marktplätze als Amazon und Ebay - also etwa Otto.de, Real.de oder auch Rakuten und im benachbarten Ausland Angebote wie bol.com oder cdiscount und der inzwischen auch in Deutschland aktive Schweizer Online-Primus Digitec Galaxus gewinnen langsam aber stetig an Boden gut und setzen Händler zunehmend auf zusätzliche digitale Vertriebskanäle.

Um davon zu profitieren, wirft Rakuten sein anderswo erhebliches Gewicht auch hierzulande in die Waagschale. So wird demnächst zum Beispiel auf Fernbedienungen neuer Fernseher von Philips, LG und Samsung eine Rakuten-Taste zu finden sein. Über das hauseigene Streaming-Angebot will das Unternehmen seine Bekanntheit steigern und so einmal angesprochene Nutzer auch auf die E-Commerce-Plattform holen. Ähnlich soll das beim Messaging-Dienst Viber funktionieren. Der hat laut Rakuten-Sprecher Winter in Europa bereits einen Marktanteil von 22 Prozent und wird allmählich auch in Deutschland relevanter.

weil die deutschen Kartellbehörden zu lange das nachstehende gesetzeswidrige Verhalten von Amazon geduldet hat, das in dieser Zeit eine mächtige Markposition aufbauen konnte:

"Mit Wirkung zum 31.3.2010 hatte die Amazon Services Europe S. A. R. L. ihre AGB für Marketplace-Händler geändert. Seither durften Händler ihre Waren auf dem Amazon-Marketplace nicht zu einem höheren Preis verkaufen, als sie ihn von Kunden auf anderen, nicht-physischen Vertriebswegen verlangten. Das Verbot, im Online-Handel günstigere Verkaufspreise als auf dem Amazon-Marketplace festzusetzen, bezog sich nicht nur auf andere Internet-Marktplätze (z.B. ebay), sondern auch auf den Warenvertrieb über den eigenen Online-Shop der Händler. Amazon forderte seither Preisparität.
Amazon beugt sich nunmehr offenbar dem Druck eines kartellrechtlichen Ermittlungsverfahrens. Das Bundeskartellamt hatte am 20.2.2013 mitgeteilt, eine Befragung von 2.400 Amazon-Händlern durchzuführen, um die Auswirkungen der Preisparitätsklausel auf den Wettbewerb und deren kartellrechtliche Zulässigkeit zu prüfen. Das Bundeskartellamt sah Anhaltspunkte, dass die Preisparitätsklausel die Preissetzungsfreiheit der Händler in unzulässigerweise beeinträchtigt."

Leider wurde das Verfahren nach dem Nachgeben von Amazon eingestellt, obwohl meines Erachtens das Management für das Vorgehen in den Knast gehört hätte und eigentlich eine Milliardenstrafe fällig gewesen wäre.

zwischen Amazon und Rakuten: Während Amazon auch mit gesetzeswidrigem Verhalten seine Grenzen austestet, hält sich Rakuten als Bestandteil seiner langfristigen der Nachhaltigkeit verpflichteten Strategie an bestehende Gesetze. Das war übrigens auch der Grund, warum sich Rakuten an Lyft beteiligt hat - und nicht an Uber.

Inzwischen hat sich der Zeitgeist meines Erachtens so verändert, dass Amazon langfristig gegen die Wand fahren wird.

Rakuten is manifesting all the radical change that experts say needs to be made in telecom in order to be agile, innovative and competitive in the digital age: virtualization, mobile edge computing, closed-loop automation, microservices, continuous innovation/continuous development and delivery (CI/CD) and more. When the company official launches its LTE service in October, the industry will begin to assess the merits of a cloud-native strategy and determine how quickly they must follow.

Japanese Mobile Carrier Rakuten Rejects Huawei, Chooses NEC for 5G Network
BY FRANK FANG, EPOCH TIMES

Rakuten Mobile has chosen a domestic Japanese company as its 5G partner, in another setback for Chinese tech giant Huawei’s 5G ambitions.

“NEC’s technology and expertise will allow us to create…a highly secure, high-quality 5G network,” Tareq Amin, chief technology officer of Rakuten Mobile stated, according to the press release.

Rakuten Mobile and NEC also plan to install about 16,000 low-cost 5G base stations across Japan over the next five years, according to a Nikkei report. These stations are used to relay signals and provide 5G coverage.
