What's New In the Consumer Tech World Last Week? News That You Should Know (July 7 - July 13)

In a bid to expand their businesses, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/telecom">Japanese telecommunications giants</a> Nippon Telegraph and KDDI Corp. are venturing into space. They plan to build high-speed wireless networks in the stratosphere to link the Earth and the moon.
What Happened: NTT, Japan&#8217;s largest telecom carrier, announced on Jun. 3 that it will launch an &#8220;airborne base station&#8221; on a commercial basis by 2026, <a href="https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15294036">reported</a> The Asahi Shimbun. 
This initiative is part of the NTT C89 orbital development program, which includes the installation of a high-altitude platform station (HAPS) &#8211; an unmanned aircraft equipped with a repeater that can communicate directly with smartphones.
Masayoshi Son-led SoftBank Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFBQF#OTC">SFBQF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) is also working on the development and commercialization of a HAPS, along with plans to offer a foreign-affiliated satellite-based telecom service in Japan.
NTT Docomo Inc., a mobile carrier, plans to invest up to $100 million in AALTO HAPS Ltd., an affiliate of Airbus SE, to build the aircraft. This commercialization will mark the world&#8217;s first realization of such an initiative.
KDDI also disclosed its space business strategies in May, intending to establish a telecom network between Earth and the moon by 2028. The company aims to create a high-speed 5G communications environment on the moon by 2030.
"Telecommunications means will be essential when mankind arrives on the moon, although we have no immediate intention of monetizing our initiatives on the lunar surface," explained Hiromichi Matsuda, a KDDI Managing Executive Officer. "We will be extending our support."

Why It Matters: The Japanese telecom companies&#8217; foray into space comes when the global space industry is experiencing rapid growth. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39395671/weeks-after-elon-musk-launched-it-indonesias-telecom-industry-voices-concerns-over-starlink-services">Indonesia&#8217;s telecom industry</a> has already voiced concerns over the entry of Elon Musk&#8216;s Starlink, calling for a temporary halt to the company&#8217;s services.
An estimate by U.S. financial services giant Morgan Stanley projects the global market for space businesses to reach $1 trillion by 2040, tripling its current size over the next 20 years, according to the report.
Meanwhile, SpaceX has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39633453/spacex-now-has-over-100-starlink-satellites-in-orbit-with-direct-to-cell-capabilities-t-mobile-users">over 100 Starlink satellites in orbit</a> with Direct to Cell capabilities, aiming to provide global access to texting, calling, and internet browsing using standard LTE phones.

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MUFG#NYSE">MUFG</a>) and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMFG#NYSE">SMFG</a>) are reportedly set to divest approximately ¥1.32 trillion ($8.5 billion) worth of strategic shareholdings in Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>).
The major move indicates a strong commitment by Japan&#8217;s major corporations to dismantle their extensive network of cross-held shares. This strategic unwinding is designed to mitigate any adverse effects on Toyota&#8217;s share price, reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-07/japan-s-top-banks-to-divest-8-5-billion-in-toyota-shareholdings?srnd=phx-deals&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg</a>.
The banks will divest in phases, leveraging Toyota&#8217;s recent buyback initiative. On May 8, Toyota announced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38736508/toyotas-blockbuster-report-amid-the-ev-slowdown-reflect-its-determination-to-catch-up-on-software" rel="noreferrer noopener">¥1 trillion buyback plan</a>, equivalent to about 3% of its stock, marking a substantial increase from previous repurchases.
The Japanese government has long advocated for reducing cross shareholdings, which were established to solidify business alliances.
However, entities like these banks have been slow to act. This substantial divestment by Toyota&#8217;s major stakeholders could catalyze a wider movement toward loosening equity ties in Japan&#8217;s corporate sector.
The Mitsubishi stake is valued at approximately ¥700 billion, while Sumitomo Mitsui holds about ¥620 billion worth of Toyota stock, as per the report.

These sales are planned to span several years, reducing or potentially eliminating their stakes in Toyota. Meanwhile, Mizuho Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MFG#NYSE">MFG</a>) does not hold a notable stake in Toyota. The decision follows a notable appreciation in Toyota&#8217;s stock price.
The report also mentioned that some insurers, including MS&amp;AD Insurance Group Holdings Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSADY#OTC">MSADY</a>), Tokio Marine Holdings Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKOMY#OTC">TKOMY</a>), and Sompo Holdings Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMPNY#OTC">SMPNY</a>), hold stakes in Toyota. The total would top ¥3 trillion if they joined the banks.
Toyota itself is also reducing its cross-shareholdings within its network. In November, the company announced it would lower its stake in electric parts manufacturer Denso Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNZOY#OTC">DNZOY</a>) to 20% from 24%.
Previously, Toyota committed to selling part of its stake in KDDI Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KDDIY#OTC">KDDIY</a>) for ¥250 billion. These moves aim to reallocate funds towards Toyota&#8217;s electric vehicle initiatives and buyback programs.
Price Action: TM shares are trading lower by 1.36% at $207.18 at the last check Friday.
