SoftBank’s CEO Masayoshi Son wants ARM, the Japanese firm’s recent $31 billion acquisition, to be more aggressive in developing for the future, as he talked up the potential of machine driven ‘Singularity’.

Yahoo Japan chairman Masayoshi Son is stepping down in June and will be replaced by newly-appointed SoftBank president Nikesh Arora (pictured). Son, chairman and CEO of SoftBank, will remain as a director at Yahoo Japan.

SoftBank chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son said he will appoint the head of its US-based investment arm Nikesh Arora (pictured) as representative director and president of SoftBank, suggesting he could name him as a future successor.

Masayoshi Son (pictured), chairman of Sprint, the third-largest mobile operator in the US, picked a TV interview to finally confirm his interest in a takeover of smaller rival T-Mobile US.

Masayoshi Son, Sprint chairman, is planning a direct appeal to the US business community that consolidation in the country’s telecoms sector should be welcomed.

Masayoshi Son, SoftBank founder and CEO, warned that it may take as long as two years to revive the fortunes of Sprint following the Japanese company’s acquisition of the struggling US number-three operator, reports Reuters.

During his keynote at the GSMA Mobile World Congress, SoftBank chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son warned of a “depressing reality” for operators forced to cope with unprecedented levels of mobile data traffic and “zero growth” profitability.
