    T-Mobile's deal for Sprint gets big boost from FCC commission

    T-Mobile US Inc's $26 billion acquisition of rival Sprint Corp appeared to win the support of a majority of the Federal Communications Commission on Monday, in a significant step toward the deal's approval. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, a Republican, came out in favour of the combination after the companies offered concessions, including selling Sprint's Boost Mobile prepaid cell service, as did FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, a Republican. The five-member panel's third Republican, Mike O'Rielly, said he was "inclined to support" the proposed merger, even if he was not convinced of the need for all of the conditions announced by Pai.

    SoftBank Vision Fund IPO: Raising More Cash to Throw at Overvalued Startups

    While Masayoshi Son is still very much at the helm of SoftBank Group Corp. (TSE:9984), the company he built into a leader of the Japanese telecom industry, his attention increasingly seems to be focused on the SoftBank Vision Fund. The Vision Fund is the company's venture capital investing arm. While managed by SoftBank, it is funded principally by external investors and has raised a staggering $100 billion .

    Masayoshi Son claims to have a 300-year vision, but his bets suggest he's making it up as he goes

    Masayoshi Son's SoftBank has a 300-year plan, which could be genius but is probably just insane. Son made billions with his early Alibaba investment, but his first big Vision Fund bet, Uber, is not doing so well out of the gate, and he seems to have undercut it in part by making investments in competitors. Maybe Son is neither a genius nor insane, but just an ambitious businessman who likes to take big risks.

    SoftBank leads $200m investment in Indian online grocer Grofers

    Indian online grocery start-up Grofers has secured more than $200m from investors led by SoftBank’s Vision Fund, in the $100bn investment vehicle’s latest bet on the country’s technology sector. Founded in 2013, Grofers initially offered a service delivering items from neighbourhood shops, before switching to a new model in which it manages its own inventory. Compared with online groceries rival BigBasket, backed by Alibaba, Grofers offers a smaller selection of products, aiming to attract customers with bargain prices secured through its bulk deals with manufacturers.

    SoftBank leads $200 million investment in India's Grofers

    Japan's SoftBank Group Corp has led an investment round of more than $200 million in online grocery startup Grofers India through its Vision Fund, the New Delhi-based company said on Wednesday, upping competition in a hotly chased market in the country. Grofers' fresh funding comes after homegrown rival Bigbasket, which is backed by China's Alibaba Group, recently raised $150 million to hit a valuation of over $1 billion. Both the startups compete with the likes of Amazon.com and Walmart Inc's e-commerce unit Flipkart for various categories.

    SoftBank Leads Funding of Over $200 Million in Online Grocer

    Son’s SoftBank Vision Fund is leading an investment round of more than $200 million in Grofers, the Indian online grocery startup said in a statement. Tiger Global and Sequoia Capital and new investor KTB joined SoftBank in the deal, which pushes the company’s valuation to almost $1 billion even as it competes against powerful rivals: Walmart Inc.-controlled Flipkart, Amazon.com Inc. and BigBasket, backed by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. The investment comes just after SoftBank-backed Uber Technologies Inc. flopped in its initial public offering, a sign that some investors are souring on tech startups with big dreams and bigger loses.

    Does Uber Make Masa a Savvy Investor or a Shopaholic?

    After a long dry spell, Masayoshi Son is finally catching a break: The listing of Uber Technologies Inc. made his Vision Fund one of the rare investors to book a capital gain from its stake, amounting to 418 billion yen ($3.81 billion) in the March quarter. While Uber shares have slumped since they started trading Friday, that’s a big win for the SoftBank Group Corp. founder, who likes to sell himself as a tech visionary. Last December, Moody’s Investors Service re-classified SoftBank as an investment holding company after Son pulled off the world’s second-largest IPO, raising $23.6 billion from his Japanese telecom operator.

    Private Equity Sees Opportunity in Getting Naked With Strangers

    Private equity funds like SoftBank-owned Fortress Investment Group LLC and Hong Kong-based Odyssey Capital Group are spending billions to tap into the appeal of traditional inns amid a tourism boom that’s ramping up ahead of next year’s Tokyo Olympics. Odyssey, along with two other investors, last year purchased its first Japanese onsen, an inn with 28 tatami-floored guest rooms near the Sea of Japan called Kagetsu, or “flowering moon.” Christopher Aiello, managing director of Odysey’s Japan real estate business, says the firm plans to spend $500 million in the next three years buying about 20 more traditional Japanese hotels, which are known as ryokan.
