   Met het gevaar van een gevaarlijk gemene upswing (al dan niet n.a.v. verrassend nieuws van TomTom dat natuurlijk ook niet stilgezeten de afgelopen tijd)? Ik weet het niet. Dat lijkt mij nog niet zo logisch.
   
   Ik ben persoonlijk wel blij met de stroomversnelling die nu gaat optreden.
   

   Ja natuurlijk, ik ook. Iedereen hier denk ik. Het heeft wel lang genoeg geduurd zo!

   German top three buying Here map
   August 03, 2015 07:19 Source: international finance news Xia Yan
   
   Nokia has been in negotiations with the big three auto manufacturers, Nokia's high-definition real-time digital map technology is seen as the core technology of the self-driving cars of the future. Big three automakers plan to buying Nokia Here and then invite other automakers shares.
   As of press time, the parties concerned have not made a public statement on related matters. According to people familiar with the matter said, and final consultations are continuing on the details, including intellectual property rights, has not yet signed a formal agreement.
   Accurate map is must-have plugins for driverless cars, thus robbing map war is on.
   In recent days, according to Germany the automobile manufacturing reports, Germany three car companies Daimler, BMW and Audi are going to buy Nokia maps service Here for 2.5 billion euros.
   It is reported that Nokia and the 3 car maker exclusive negotiations concerning the sale of the map services company, HD real-time digital maps developed by the company be considered development drive and a range of automotive safety systems as a core technology of the future.
   A person familiar with the matter said, this 3 car company plans to acquire full ownership of Nokia Here and invite other global car makers to invest in the company. The source also pointed out that the deal's goal has always been to be in the form of an open platform for the service operation, the signing of a final agreement may be completed in the next few days.
   Vendor Nokia
   Here is Nokia's map service for launch in 2012, in addition to the basic voice guidance, public transport and road information display function, also to be able to provide high-precision digital map in real time for industry recognition.
   7 years ago, Here purchased maps from Navteq by Nokia's $ 8.1 billion. 7 years later, Here a map or by BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Daimler buy-out groups consisting of three major car manufacturers to price of 2.5 billion euros.
   Here is known as collection of map data in nearly 200 countries in the world, in 97 countries with voice-guided navigation, 41 countries provides real-time traffic information, and can also take advantage of more than 80,000 daily 2.7 million multiple data sources to the map update. Especially in the car navigation market, over 80% share Here.
   Nokia with high quality assets, why sell?
   In fact, Nokia sold from 2013 will equipment and services business to Microsoft, leaving three main businesses: Here the map business, network equipment business, and is responsible for licensing the technology sector.
   Map business contributed revenue of Nokia is not very high. Nokia's first-quarter earnings, the company's revenue of 3.2 billion euros, of which Here business quarter sales revenues amounted to € 261 million, accounted for revenues of 8%.
   Currently, Nokia CEO lajifu·Suli is working to reduce the company's debt, as early as possible to get rid of its "junk rating." Nokia Here now for the Amazon, Microsoft, and Yahoo, as well as other car navigation map data provided by the system.
   According to people familiar with the matter said, business Here is to continue to focus on the consumer market, or turned to cars and the enterprise market, Nokia has been controversial.
   Media reports pointed out that selling mobile phone business, Here with Nokia maps lack of synergies in other sectors. Nokia sold Here end of the map. Therefore, after selling maps, Nokia will be completely transformed into a communications equipment manufacturer.
   By April of this year, Nokia announced a 15.6 billion euros overall to buy other telecommunications-equipment maker Alcatel-Lucent, expected to be completed as early as 2016, the first half of the deal.
   Therefore, the industry views summary, sell Here, we can relieve the financial burden of Nokia, on the energy can be better focused on the communications equipment market, off the hook, and Ericsson, Huawei to compete.
   Chinese companies have bid
   In April this year after Nokia said to consider selling its Here maps, and three auto makers to compete for, and include several private equity funds and technology giant Facebook, Uber by taxi, even China's Baidu and Tencent.
   From a known quote, its portfolio to the highest bidder, up to $ 4 billion, Baidu, Uber jointly offered a US $ 3 billion. Current price according to media reports, the German bid was not the lowest, but it is not the highest.
   According to people familiar with the matter said, because Nokia has just agreed to pay $ 16.6 billion to buy the US-French joint venture telecommunications equipment manufacturer Alcatel-Lucent (Alcatel-Lucent) transaction, so the company wants its Here maps price selling in business for $ 4 billion, but the difference is, Germany manufacturer willing to pay a lower price.
   "A bidding, generally competitors out, mostly because the price is not maneuvering. "IT Li Jiyun, an analyst said.
   So, at this price, Nokia lost?
   The automotive business review considered, mainly based on Nokia's motor trend for the future judgment. For a long time, map services companies are to participate as suppliers to the automotive industry.
   "Simply put, if Here choose Baidu or Tencent, which means it will remain with the common identity of the supplier, the future development of more risk. This does not conform to Nokia on the development of their future position. "Li Jiyun told the financial newspaper.
   In addition, Here there is also a very real consideration. At present, the market in North America and Europe, Here is 80% car navigation services.
   German top three has indicated that after acquiring Here and will invite other automakers shares. In other words, choose German for three, not leaving until now not only business, customers may continue to increase.
   Under this benefit, favored Nokia German for three, it is not so surprising.

   Part II
   
   Auto select
   As we all know, Nokia came to be sold Here, large number of bidders. More confusing is that the integration of automobile enterprises, why the hands to buy Here?
   German media analyses said, telematics and drone technology has become the general trend of the development of automobile industry in the future, digital map technology is also becoming more and more important, and it will also play an important role in the future of automotive safety systems. German top three this time choose to jointly buy Here business, is hoping Here high-resolution real-time digital map technology, as much as possible in the future Internet and field of automatic driving a piece of the action.
   Li Jiyun pointed out that with the development of intelligent, needs the support of hardware and standards, where the map is an indispensable core resources. "As the world's first digital map company on six continents, Here is the big enterprise core suppliers. Therefore, Here become the home for the object is normal. "
   Industry experts makusi·dierjin believes that this will allow Germany auto enterprises made great strides in the automated driving competition, narrow the gap with Google.
   Since Nokia Here is one of the four important maps of the world, in makusi·dierjin opinion, automakers still fell in the wake of Google. Google has its own digital maps, their driverless cars is no longer just a concept, but also important competitors.
   Moreover, with the rapid growth of smart car business, map supplier performance is quickly developing, and become a dark horse in the industry.
   Navinfo, for example, the company announced its 2014 annual report, the navigation map and comprehensive geographic information services revenues amounted to 936 million Yuan, accounting for revenue size of 88.5%. Navigation map in 2014, the company revenues grew 14.53%, mainly from income growth in vehicle navigation, growth mainly comes from overall market growth and product sales driven by automotive customers.
   Analysts believe that several large companies in the world to launch around 2020 driverless cars could be on a public road, the digital mapping business will grow rapidly. Also for this reason, German car companies of the big three to buy Here for a long time preparing and unremitting efforts.
   Map charm
   Of course, the three big German automakers to buy Nokia Here has not guaranteed the map, how to find a balance between the bid and the future vision, things are still a little subtle.
   It is worth mentioning that, at almost the same time, another related map service to events has been determined.
   Also on July 21, Denmark map company TomTom announced cooperation agreement with Bosch, Bosch's own navigation technology into advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
   TomTom, Here, car map of Google Maps service area leader, rival each other. TomTom has the advantage of providing shared services, it encourages users to discover new geographic, even traffic management information, feedback, fast verification, it will send the new information to users of other devices.
   This information greatly reduce the operating cost of TomTom, but what is more important is that this sharing mode to scale from simple transportation to other areas, for example, users can share information such as gas stations, parking lots around. For car companies, equally attractive.
   Bosch is a future active participants, is one of the world's largest parts company. TomTom cooperation with Bosch demonstrated its participation in the path of the car of the future and ambitions.
   Clearly, Here and TomTom have done in the auto map service "on expanding Earth" ready, then you see Google maps how to respond.

   Nokia Corporation
   Stock Exchange Release
   August 3, 2015 at 08:00 (CET +1)
   Nokia completes next stage of transformation with agreement to sell HERE
   to automotive industry consortium at an enterprise value of EUR 2.8 billion
   Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced an agreement to sell its HERE digital mapping and location services business to a consortium of leading automotive companies, comprising AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG (the “Consortium”).
   
   The transaction values HERE at an enterprise value of EUR 2.8 billion with a normalized level of working capital and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Upon closing, Nokia estimates that it will receive net proceeds of slightly above EUR 2.5 billion, as the purchaser would be compensated for certain defined liabilities of HERE currently expected to be slightly below EUR 300 million as part of the transaction. Nokia expects to book a gain on the sale and a related release of cumulative foreign exchange translation differences totaling approximately EUR 1 billion as a result of the transaction.
   
   In April 2015, Nokia announced a review of strategic options for HERE in light of its proposed combination with Alcatel-Lucent. The announcement of this sale to the Consortium concludes that strategic review process.
   
   Rajeev Suri, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nokia, said: “With this step we complete the latest stage of Nokia’s transformation. We integrated the former Nokia Siemens Networks, divested our Devices & Services business, and have now reached agreement on a transaction for HERE that we believe is the best path forward for our shareholders, as well as the customers and employees of
   HERE. Going forward, we will focus on our planned combination with Alcatel-Lucent. Once that is complete, Nokia will be a renewed company, with a world-leading network technology and services business, as well as the licensing and innovation engine of Nokia Technologies.”
   
   HERE is developing a location cloud that harnesses the power of data generated by vehicles, devices and infrastructure to deliver real-time, predictive and personalized location services. In the automotive industry, where it serves most of the world’s leading automakers, its focus is on developing precise and
   accurate mapping as well as services that will enable an entirely new class of driver experiences, including highly automated driving. The company also serves the world’s leading enterprises and Internet players, including Microsoft, Samsung and SAP, and offers highly rated apps to consumers using Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
   
   “I believe today’s announcement is a very good outcome for HERE, its customers and employees. The new ownership structure of HERE will allow us to accelerate our strategy, further scale our business and fulfill our intent to become the leading location cloud company across industries,” said HERE President
   Sean Fernback.
   
   HERE has been a separate operating and reportable segment for financial reporting purposes for Nokia with a non-IFRS operating profit of EUR 46 million on net sales of EUR 552 million for the first half of 2015, and a non-IFRS operating profit of EUR 31 million on net sales of EUR 971 million for the full year 2014. In reported terms, HERE generated an operating profit of EUR 28 million for the first half of 2015, and an operating loss of EUR 1 241 million for the full year 2014, with the latter including a EUR 1 209 million charge for the impairment of goodwill. At the end of June 2015, HERE had 6 454 employees.
   
   Nokia plans to report HERE as a discontinued operation from the third quarter of 2015 onwards. HERE will continue to operate as a business of Nokia until the closing of the transaction.
   
   Upon closing of the HERE transaction, Nokia will consist of two businesses: Nokia Networks and Nokia Technologies. Nokia Networks will continue to be a leading provider of broadband infrastructure software and services. Nokia Technologies will continue to provide advanced technology development and
   licensing. Nokia’s proposed combination with Alcatel-Lucent is expected to close in the first half of 2016, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and will create an innovation leader in next generation technology and services for an IP connected world.
   
   Nokia suspended its capital structure optimization program in conjunction with the announcement of the proposed combination with Alcatel-Lucent. As previously stated, Nokia intends to evaluate the resumption of a capital structure optimization program after the closing of the proposed Alcatel-Lucent
   transaction.

    Dus zowel de 2.8 mrd als de 2.5 mrd zijn waar. HERE wordt gewaardeerd op 2.8 mrd, maar ontvangt als onderdeel van de deal 2.5 mrd.
    
    "as the purchaser would be compensated for certain defined liabilities of HERE currently expected to be slightly below EUR 300 million as part of the transaction."
    
    En wachten op de nieuwsstroom uit eerste hand van de andere partijen. Zoeken jullie mee bij Mercedes-Benz, BMW, VW/Audi?

    HERE is laying the foundations for the next generation of mobility and location based services. For the automotive industry this is the basis for new assistance systems and ultimately fully autonomous driving.
    
    Extremely precise digital maps will be used in combination with real-time vehicle data in order to increase road safety and to facilitate innovative new products and services. On the basis of the shared raw data, all automobile manufacturers can offer their customers differentiated and brand-specific services.
    
    “Our environment is constantly changing. That’s why the information in digital maps has to be continually updated so that maximum utility can be offered,” stated Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. The high-precision cameras and sensors installed in modern cars are the
    digital eyes for updating mobility data and maps; in this way, information such as speed limits or critical driving situations are already recognized today. All data gained will be processed in compliance with strict data-protection rules.
    
    “HERE will play a key role in the digital revolution of mobility, combining high definition maps and data from vehicles to make travel safer and easier for everyone,” explained Harald Krüger, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG. This knowledge will be to the benefit of all carmakers and their customers. “High-precision digital maps are a crucial component of the mobility of the future. With the joint acquisition of HERE, we want to secure the independence of this central service for all vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and customers in other industries,” stated Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG.
    
    Swarm intelligence will create new information density for road maps
    ”HERE will be able to offer users a continuously improving product, bringing highly automated driving and location based services a step further. As the volume of anonymized data from the vehicles increases, services will become more convenient, more connected and further tailored to the users’ individual
    requirements,” said Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG for Technical Development, Klaus Fröhlich, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG for Development, and Thomas Weber, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG for Group Research. It is the explicit intention that all HERE customers are to benefit from this continuous optimization.
    
    The social benefits of swarm intelligence are enormous: They facilitate warnings of hazards in real time, of icy roads for example, based on calculations of individual data such as ABS activations and outside temperature. Upcoming traffic jams will be identified more precisely in the future, significantly reducing the risk of accidents. In this way, the vision of accident-free driving is gradually becoming reality. In a further stage, the data could be used to learn about critical bends on the road, in order to warn drivers in good
    time or to activate assistance systems. Anticipation of green phases of stoplights could navigate vehicles through an urban area on a “green wave” with the appropriate engine performance and minimized fuel consumption.
    
    High-precision maps are important for autonomous driving and many other forms of assistance systems, as these technologies require an up-to-date plan of a vehicle’s surroundings exact to the nearest centimeter, in order to react in real time. While HERE already produces extremely precise static maps,
    they can be verified more exactly and continually updated with a constant flow of data from vehicles’ surroundings.
    
    HERE will continue to offer its services and products across industries
    HERE provides mapping and location intelligence for nearly 200 countries in more than 50 languages and is one of the main providers of mapping and location services. The company will continue to develop its position as a strong and independent provider of maps and location-based services, will expand its
    product offering and continue to make it available to all customers across industries.
    
    The management of HERE will continue to be independent – with the goal of moving the HERE business case forward as a platform, open to all customers. The consortium will not interfere into operational business.

    Wachten op nieuwe scenario's van de banken, die lagen vast wel klaar, dus kunnen vandaag of morgen komen.
    Dat zal de koers wat richting geven, maar gok dat het een nerveus dagje wordt, waarin de koers alle kanten op schiet.
