Today: Musk mischt Mobilfunkmarkt auf | Forderung nach Reform der Schuldenbremse
Ökonomen und Unternehmer fordern eine Begrenzung schuldenfinanzierter Verteidigungsausgaben. Und: Elon Musk wird für Mobilfunkunternehmen vom Partner zum Rivalen.
In the wake of last year's Debt Brake reform, the German government has borrowed significant funds to finance infrastructure expansion and upgrades. However, the Institute of German Economy (IW), the non-profit CEO initiative Klimawirtschaft, and the non-profit organization Fiscal Future are now calling for a course correction and a limit on debt-funded defense spending once the NATO target of 3.5% of Gross Domestic Product is achieved.
Politician and chief reporter Martin Greive discusses the background in a recent podcast. The Alliance is urging politicians to reform the Debt Brake in a new podcast series, "Made in Berlin – Economy Policy and What It Means for You." Meanwhile, US billionaire Elon Musk plans to build a private mobile network in the United States using SpaceX.
His aerospace company is acquiring low-band frequencies from investment firm Grain Management for approximately eight billion dollars. This move puts pressure on the three major mobile network providers in the US. Following the announcement of the frequency deal, the stock prices of T-Mobile US, Verizon, and AT&T dropped significantly.
Stephan Scheuer, co-leader of the Handelsblatt Tech team, explains how Musk intends to challenge the established companies in the market.
