Samsung family to pay off the remaining 54.9 billion inheritance tax: Mother and two daughters sell shares to raise funds, while Lee Jae-yong relies on loans and dividends

October 9th - SpaceX (SPCX.O) shares rose 3.8% in pre-market trading to $166.70. The company has reached an agreement to acquire nationwide low-frequency spectrum in order to challenge U.S. wireless carriers, according to The Wall Street Journal. SpaceX will pay about $8 billion to Grain Management for related assets, acquiring radio waves that can travel long distances and penetrate dense structures such as walls. The financial terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. The acquisition is expected to strengthen the "direct-to-device" service of Starlink Mobile and reduce reliance on traditional base stations. The deal intensifies the competition between satellite communications and cellular networks, increasing the challenges facing existing wireless carriers. The transaction is still subject to approval by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. As of the close of the previous trading day, SPCX shares had risen more than 18% from the IPO price of $135.
