Descriptions:
Bloomberg Technology’s April 14, 2026 live broadcast leads with Amazon’s confirmed $11.6 billion acquisition of Globalstar — the company’s largest deal since buying Whole Foods in 2017 — at more than a 100% premium to where the stock traded when the deal first leaked in October 2025. The strategic rationale is spectrum: Globalstar holds Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) band licenses that allow direct satellite-to-cell communication, a capability Amazon needs to compete with SpaceX’s Starlink. Amazon has targeted 2028 for consumer service launch, and analysts note that without this spectrum, Kuiper would remain structurally behind Starlink in the direct-to-device race.
The program also reports on Oracle’s deal with Bloom Energy for fuel cell power to meet its 4.5-gigawatt commitment to OpenAI — with Oracle reportedly paying over $1 billion per year for power at its Texas campus alone, illustrating the extreme infrastructure costs now underpinning large AI contracts. An AllianceBernstein portfolio manager discusses how AI adoption is broadening capital flows beyond GPU training into edge computing, satellite connectivity, and power supply chains.
Additional segments include an exclusive interview with Lucid’s incoming CEO on robotaxi strategy, breaking news of Disney cutting 1,000 jobs under new CEO Josh D’Amaro, and commentary on the Nasdaq 100’s ten-day winning streak — its best run since 2021.
