Rakuten wesentlich besser als Rocket

Denn danach sollte es eigentlich spätestens morgen losgehen bzw.  wenn nicht, sollte man einen Termin nennen, wann es losgeht.

Denn auch Verlässlichkeit ist ein wichtiges Pfund, mit dem sicher wuchern lässt.

Sei mir nicht bös, aber Zukäufe macht man, wenn der Kurs unten ist und nicht oben. Ich rechne mit weiteren Abschlägen. Mal sehen, vielleicht gehe ich dann auch mal rein. Aber wahrscheinlich nicht, es gibt zu viele gute Alternativen.

der Meinung, dass wir eben "unten" sind.

Und von daher stimme ich Deiner Grundaussage zu.

Traumhaft wäre, wenn in der EU Facebook wegen der Weitermeldung seiner Daten in die USA nicht mehr
antreten dürfte bzw. freiwillig das Handtuch werfen würde.

Ich würde jedenfalls Mr. Zuckerberg nicht vermissen.

Wenn das Mobilfunkgeschäft von Docomo 120 Milliarden Dollar wert sein soll, scheint Rakuten Mobile mit gerngem Kapitaleinsatz erhebliche Wert geschaffen zu haben.

„Der japanische Telekomriese Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) privatisiert in einem 40-Milliarden-Dollar-Deal sein Mobilfunkgeschäft. Für den 34-prozentigen Anteil an NTT Docomo, der nicht in den Händen des Mutterkonzerns sei, würden 3900 Yen je Aktie geboten, teilte NTT mit. Es ist die bisher größte Kaufofferte dieser Art in Japan überhaupt. Sie entspricht einem Aufschlag von mehr als 40 Prozent auf den Schlusskurs von Montag.“

Man hat aber jetzt mehr Sicherheit, dass das lange angezweifelte Konzept der Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN)-Technology funktioniert und daher aus meiner Sicht auch nachhaltig in Zukunft die Gewinne erhöht und Werte schaffen wird (siehe Posting 5606).

costs and new content and services

Rakuten Mobile built the world’s first*3 end-to-end fully virtualized cloud-native mobile network and launched full-scale commercial carrier services on the network in April 2020. The network architecture allows for substantial reductions in capital investment and operating costs, enabling the operator to offer the Rakuten UN-LIMIT V service plan, which includes both 4th generation mobile communications system (4G) and 5G services, for the same monthly fee of 2,980 yen. By leveraging the synergies between 5G and various offerings from the broad portfolio of Rakuten Group businesses to develop engaging new content and services, Rakuten Mobile aims to provide customers with a next-generation mobile experience.

Simple, intuitive and easy-to-understand for all customers

„From its very inception, Rakuten Mobile has made it a priority to do away with complex terms and conditions, offering a single service plan that is simple, intuitive and easy-to-understand for all customers, whether they are in Japan or traveling internationally. The plan ⁠— called Rakuten UN-LIMIT 2.0 ⁠— launched in April 2020 and offers subscribers unlimited data when connected to the Rakuten Mobile network, and unlimited calls through its communications app Rakuten Link.“

Rakuten has been one of the pioneers of cloud-based mobile networks via its Rakuten Communications Platform (RCP).  Based on virtualised cloud-based technology, RCP has been used by Rakuten in Japan to bring about cost savings of up to 30% on its mobile services.  Rakuten now plans to make the platform available to customers around the world, where it is designed to simplify deployments by allowing enterprises to deploy 5G core networks like they would deploy any cloud-based enterprise service, reducing operational and deployment costs and decreasing deployment times.

"We offer epoch-making charges which are 70 percent lower than those of other wireless carriers," Rakuten Chairman and CEO Hiroshi Mikitani said in an online press conference.

However, Rakuten's low-priced 5G service is currently available only in limited areas in six prefectures including Tokyo, Osaka and Hokkaido. Customers must also have handsets operable on 5G networks.
Rakuten's mobile phone unit said it plans to expand its own 5G networks across all 47 prefectures in Japan by March.

How Rakuten Advertising managed to stay at the top of the ecosystem for long term

Q: The affiliate space is certainly competitive. How has Rakuten Advertising managed to stay at the top of the ecosystem and what does it take to succeed long term?

A: It certainly is competitive for all in the affiliate space. Rakuten Advertising has succeeded for so long because we are constantly innovating and finding new ways to serve our partners.  This includes a strong focus on strategy and service, technology, and our global publisher network.

We are a true partner to the agencies and brands we work with, ensuring that campaigns are aligned with actual business objectives—whether that is to achieve better margins, focus on new customer acquisition, or improve customer lifetime value.

One thing that we pride ourselves on is the diversity of our publisher network. In recent years, we’ve begun partnering with businesses in sectors that traditionally have not invested as much in affiliate marketing. We have made it a priority to include more publishers that specialize in reaching a diverse set of audiences, as well as increasing the number of influencers and content sites in our network.

Additionally, our financial services compliance team is second to none when it comes to ensuring that our financial advertisers and publishers are minimizing the amount of legal and reputational risk to their brands. This ensures that both sides are protecting existing revenue streams while maximizing the potential of future revenue generating opportunities.
