Introduction:
In this episode, we examine three pivotal stories shaping the technology and finance landscape. First, SpaceX has announced a landmark $17 billion acquisition of wireless spectrum licenses from EchoStar, a strategic move designed to expand Starlink’s 5G connectivity and help eliminate mobile dead zones worldwide. Next, we explore the impact of Google’s new AI Overviews feature, which is dramatically reducing online traffic to publishers such as DMG Media by summarizing content directly in search results—raising serious concerns about the future of digital journalism revenue. Finally, we dive into Klarna’s upcoming IPO, a crucial test of its ambitious shift from a ‘buy now, pay later’ fintech to a full-fledged digital bank, despite a sharply reduced valuation from its peak and skepticism from investors.
