South Korea’s SK Telecom Co. will provide its fifth-generation network solutions to Japanese e-commerce conglomerate Rakuten, becoming the first Korean mobile carrier to sell its 5G technology overseas.

Under the agreement, SK Telecom will share with Rakuten its 5G network designs, optimized communication quality solutions and 5G antenna and radio frequency transmission technologies, according to industry sources on Thursday.

Rakuten is Japan’s largest e-commerce operator with annual revenue of more than 1 trillion yen ($9.29 billion). It obtained the license to become Japan’s fourth mobile carrier last year. Through the launch of a new subsidiary, Rakuten Mobile, it plans to release long-term evolution mobile network offerings and roll out 5G services in June 2020.

As a novice in the market, Rakuten Mobile appears to have reached out to Korea’s top mobile carrier for assistance in the entire 5G rollout from network design to installation.

The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Rakuten Mobile reportedly plans to spend 194.6 billion yen in 5G infrastructure.

Commerzbank bought 23,425 additional Lyft shares in the third quarter to end the period with 80,887 shares. So far in October, Lyft stock has edged down 0.01%."

die Lyft da einfährt.
Ob die je profitabel arbeiten werden kann keiner sagen, insofern ist die aktuelle Bewertung ein schlechter Witz und einmal mehr Beleg dafür das Privatanleger bei solchen IPOs die Hände von lassen sollten. Institutionelle Geldgeber verbrennen massig Gelder und werden noch eine Weile im gegenseitigen Hin- und Her brauchen bis man hier mal abschätzen kann,wohin die hochspekulative Reise geht.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has indicated he is open to negotiating with large companies like Uber and Lyft before the law goes into effect on January 1. Uber had suggested establishing a minimum wage for its drivers of $21 an hour as an alternative to the bill's more radical changes, or challenging the law via 2020 ballot initiative. Uber claims that the law does not apply to its drivers and has made clear its intention to defend the position in court.

Zwar hat die zweite InsurTech-Welle noch nicht ihr volles Potenzial entfaltet, dennoch blicken wir bereits der dritten Welle entgegen.

Die dritte Welle: Ökosysteme

Nach unserer Auffassung sind „branchenübergreifende Ökosysteme“ der alles überspannende Trend für die nächsten Jahre – ein Megatrend, wenn sie so wollen. Sie werden der Haupttreiber für die dritte InsurTech-Welle sein. Immer mehr Versicherungsunternehmen erkennen, dass der effektivste Weg zur Kundengewinnung und -bindung die Beteiligung an relevanten Plattformen und Ökosystemen ist. Oftmals lassen sie sich dabei von den Vorreitern in Asien inspirieren, zum Beispiel Rakuten und Ping An.

Millions of Medicaid Patients Now Have Access to Medical Transportation Through Lyft

At Lyft, we’re constantly working to ensure access to transportation doesn’t stand in the way of people getting the healthcare they need. That’s why we are proud to announce our approval to become an enrolled Medicaid provider in Arizona, following new state regulations for non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) - which makes Lyft the first national ridesharing company to bring its transportation solution to millions of Medicaid beneficiaries. We are also actively enrolling and exploring opportunities in other states. For patients, this means Lyft will now be a covered transportation option to get eligible patients to and from medical appointments.

Why Medicaid Programs Are Looking to Lyft

In fact, based on the findings of an American Journal of Public Health study published in March 2019, modernizing NEMT via rideshare could generate cost-savings of $537 million a year when scaled nationally.

BANJALUKA - Banja Luka ist die erste Stadt in Bosnien und Herzegowina, die einen digitalen Dienst für Viber einführt, mit dem die Bürger auf einfache Weise Informationen von der Stadtverwaltung erhalten können, sagte Bürgermeister Igor Radojicic. Radojicic sagte bei der Einführung dieses Dienstes, dass das Kontingent in der Stadtentwicklungsstrategie vorgesehen sei, die einen von vier Schwerpunkten darstellt - den Bereich Smart Cities. "Dies impliziert die Einführung der Informationstechnologie in allen städtischen Diensten - Verwaltung, Verkehr, Versorgung oder Landwirtschaft", sagte Radojicic. Er erklärte, dass sich die vier innerhalb der "Viber" -Gemeinde von Banja Luka befinden, in der mehr als 28.000 Benutzer registriert sind, und dass sowohl bestehende als auch neue Benutzer die Möglichkeit haben, schnell alle erforderlichen Informationen über die von der Stadtverwaltung bereitgestellten Dienste zu erhalten. "Der Thursbot enthält Informationen, die den Nutzern angeboten werden und auf der Grundlage von Statistiken der am häufigsten besuchten Dienste und Seiten auf der Website der Stadt sowie der Erfahrung der Abteilungen bei der Arbeit mit Bürgern ausgewählt wurden. Durch" Viber "können Bürger Informationen zu den am häufigsten angeforderten Diensten, Adressen und Arbeitszeiten abrufen", sagte er ist Radojicic. Radojicic betonte, dass die Stadt Banja Luka und die Firma "Viber" ihre erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit am Donnerstag fortsetzten, da dies die dritte Innovation ist, die die Stadt mit dieser Firma realisiert. "Die Viber-Community der Stadt wurde mit Banja Luka-Motiven aufgewertet, während die dritte Aufrüstung ein Vierfach-Upgrade ist", sagte Radojicic. Er kündigte an, dass diese Woche ein Treffen zur Einführung einer elektronischen Baugenehmigung ab dem 1. Januar stattfinden werde. "Dies ist ein Pilotprojekt, das diese Woche mit der Entwicklung der Stadtverwaltung zusammen mit internationalen Beratern beginnt und bei dem ein System zur Erteilung einer Baugenehmigung aus einer Hand in eine elektronische Form übersetzt wird", sagte Radojicic.

Lyft stock gained significant value today after company executives stated that they expect to be profitable by the end of 2021. That’s a year earlier than expected, according to this Bloomberg report.

Lyft CEO Logan Green claimed, “We’ve never laid out our path to profitability, and we know that’s a question on a lot of investors’ minds. We’re going to be profitable on an adjusted Ebidta basis a year before analysts expect us to. We’re going to hit this target in Q4 2021.”

Lyft went public at $72 per share, and it touched a record high of $88.6. The stock is currently trading 50% below its 52-week high at $44.2. Lyft has missed earnings estimates over the last two quarters.

Analysts remain optimistic about Lyft stock, though. They have an average target price of $70.5, which is 60% above the current trading price.

Budapest, 3 October, 2019: Soon Rakuten Viber users will be able to easily send money to each other using a brand new feature available in the Viber mobile app. The new service, named “Moneytou”, has been developed in Hungary and will initially operate with cards issued in Hungary, but with plans for it to be rolled out in other markets as well as on a global scale.

As a special discount on Moneytou Saturdays users can send money at discounted rates until the end of 2019. On these days transfer fee for amounts within 3000 HUF will be 49 HUF and for higher amounts it will be 49 HUF + 1,5% of the sum above 3000 HUF. From Sundays to Fridays the transfer fee for amounts within 3000 HUF will be 79 HUF; while for higher amounts it will be 79 HUF + 1,5% of the sum above 3000 HUF.

RBC’s Mark Mahaney, another of the bank’s TipRanks Top 100 analysts, attended a meet and chat with Lyft’s co-founders earlier this week. Mahaney came away impressed with management’s view of Lyft’s near-term prospects, and noted, “Lyft Co-Founders highlighted that Lyft expects to be profitable on an Adjusted EBITDA basis by Q4:21, a year before the Street estimates positive EBITDA. The company noted they would get to profitability from 1) the market becoming increasingly more rational; 2) the company is now focusing on business travel and high value modes, suggesting they will begin offering more premium services; and 3) product innovations…”

In light of the bumped-up expectations for profitability, Mahaney set a $76 price target on LYFT shares, indicating room for a 74% upside.

War ja investiert und habe vor 2 Jahren ungefähr zu 8,51 verkauft.

Und was hat sich im Kurs getan bis heute: NICHTS NOTHING GAR NIX

du schreiben soviel du willst, die Wahrheit liegt im Kurs seit Jahren.

Genauso wie du wo anders schreiben kannst, auch da wirst du mit deinem Bahing kein Glück haben.

sollte natürlich Bashing heissen.  

dann 5 Jahre um, und immer noch rund 30% Minus.

5 Jahre eine reine Aktienhausse und dann dieser Rohrkrepierer Rakuten.

Beteiligungen noch und nöcher, viele davon reine Geldverbrennungsmaschinen.

Aber pausenlos auf Aktien rumhacken die in der gleichen Zeit 3000% Gewinn erzielt haben.
