the impact to its bottom line. first, european regulators have slapped qualcomm with a $1.2 billion fine for anti-competitive practices. 201 -- to 2016, qualcomm paid apple to exclusively use its chips in their products. qualcomm pushed out rivals as a result. >> our decision found that qualcomm cemented its decision by illegally shutting out rivals from the market for over five years. appealualcomm pushed qualcomm o this decision. the company said, "we have a strong case for judicial review, and we will immediately commence that process." let's bring in editor at large cory johnson. expand on what the european commission is saying qualcomm did. cory: the european commission is

suggesting that qualcomm it legally used its market power to pay off apple -- qualcomm illegally used its market power to pay off apple. emily: why would apple do that? cory: the argument here is that intel, by not having a shot, couldn't have developed a better chip. go sure the people wanted to -- at apple wanted to go with the best chip they could at a better price. they were paying off apple to keep competitors out. that not only kept intel chips out of apple phones -- so many apple phones with one kind of qualcomm chip in it means that two things happen. qualcomm lowers the price of production. to otherthat shifts phone makers, keeping intel out

of the mobile phone business which has been a running, theme for what we've said about intel for the next seven years. emily: they say there will be no repercussions for apple. why not? cory: apple is getting a lower price. they have decided not to punish apple for being in collusion with this. were the beneficiary of qualcomm's plans. emily: is this something that could -- they could face a penalty for in the united states? has taken a much stronger stance in regard to anti-competitive prosecutions. we've seen cases, particularly against google and now qualcomm, where the eu has taken a much stronger stance than the u.s. has. we've seen the eu willing to take on these companies with the notion that competition ought to be better than it is. qualcomm plans to appeal.

how likely is it that would be successful? cory: who knows? qualcomm is fundamentally built on the basis of lawyers, more than any other big semiconductor. qualcomm is a company that is fundamentally built on creating technology, licensing that technology, and using lawyers to make sure they extract payment for those technologies. they are designed for a need for speed in the courtroom. emily: what makes this even more fascinating is that qualcomm and apple have recently been at each other's throats. how does that play into this? cory: apple wants to continue to get lower prices. apple wants to continue to fight for the lowest price they can get from any competitor or supplier. they have beat them all up. they will beat up the biggest. that's where the battle is being waged. qualcomm is in its own existential battle, trying to fight at hostile -- a hostile takeover by broadcom. qualcomm attracts these massive

fines. big problems in pursuing their license agreements. qualcomm not paying. that has been an ongoing issue for them in china, the most important market for them in terms of where phones are made. big problems in pursuing their license agreements. it might suggest qualcomm's behavior -- they are so big -- fromng them separate radcom, they might make the argument -- from broadcom, they might make that argument. emily: broadcom is trying to buy qualcomm. what does this show for that bid? cory: are they going to have to pay it? is it going to imperil their business going forward? the lower the stock goes, the easier it is for from radcom, they might make the argument -- broadcom to take over this company. whether customers will stand for it is a whole different thing. the eu seems to be saying, we want more competition. selina: mer -- a merged qualcomm-broadcom is not more competition. the eu is suggesting they might not be for that for big -- for

that big merger. emily: cory johnson, thank you. the latest revolving door, meg whitman, stepping down at hpe february 1, joining the new mobile media business founded by jeffrey katzenberg. whitman starts as new ceo in march. the company will be based in l.a. and aims to bring quality .- hollywood-quality to videos lookout for new features this spring when apple rolls out a software update. what you can expect, next. technology, five a clock p.m. in new york. -- 5:00 p.m. in new york. this is bloomberg. ♪

mark: whatever you want to call it. now you will be able to turn that feature off. emily: that means you will what? mark: if you have an older iphone and you don't want it to slow down anymore, you can turn it off. but apple will say you're putting yourself at risk. i think turning it off won't i think turning it off won't expect -- affect most people in practice, but we will see in a few months from now. emily: there are some new health features. tell us about those. mark: it allows you to access your hospital health records on your phone. before, you could get your health information from the apple watch, from the sensors in already, and third-party devices that integrate with things like fit bit. now you will get information from your hospital, lab results, doctors notes, whatnot, through the health app. there are a few big names across california, new york, pennsylvania. i'm sure they will add more hospitals as time goes on. emily: how difficult is it to get these hospitals on board?

they need to copy operation -- the cooperation of the medical field, which has been slow to take on new technology. mark: if you have a doctor in california who has the same server, the same system as a doctor in, say, ohio, you can go andn ohio's doctor office get all your information, but the key is dealing with different networks. apple is not going to put a softer update out to 1 billion people that could impede on privacy. emily: new features for reality, correct? mark: they have a arcade 1.5 -- have a.r. kit reality, 1.5. say i have an animated version of you and i want to project it on my door. i could do that now. emily: and homepod, which was delayed, is now coming out next month. mark: about a month and a half

delay, give or take. emily: not huge, but they did miss the holiday season. mark: they did miss the holiday season. tim cook told you we would be able to judge it for ourselves in a few weeks. emily: what do you make of the fact that this was delayed? mark: it's unfortunate. this is the second year in a row where they had to delay a major new audio product. two months delay for the airpods, now the same for the homepod. i don't know if this is the start of a new trend for the company. it seems to be isolated to accessories. every time apple comes out with i feel likeory, there is something going on with their ramp up. we will see if it happens with the next one. emily: mark gurman, thank you so much. now, to another story we are watching, soft egg is leading another mammoth -- softbank is

leading another mammoth funding round. this time, the investment goes to a little-known technology startup looking to shake up the building industry. a fund which made about 100 investments last year, totaling $36 billion. joining us now from seattle, dena bass -- dina bass. this is a lot of money for a little-known company. dina: katerra is trying to do what they say uber or airbnb did to the hospitality and the taxi industry. they are trying to bring technology and software and standard processes to the construction industry in an effort to reduce costs, speeds things up. they are doing -- they basically want to control every aspect of the process, from architecture to interior design, through to standardizing building and construction work on the jobsite, in an effort to make things go quicker and be more

profitable. emily: so, what if -- does this signify for softbank in terms of their portfolio? they have invested in uber and slack. dina: it looks like they are looking for interesting opportunities in a variety of industries that, in some ways, haven't changed in many years. late last year, they made an investment in real estate technology, so that shows an interest in trying to come up with a way to benefit from startups that want to use technology to revolutionize the building industry and take advantage of the real estate and construction boom, the housing boom in many parts of the u.s. emily: what are some of the challenges facing katerra? dina: it's interesting. most people probably haven't heard of it, but it has some pretty high-powered backers and founders behind it. their chairman --

what he is best known in the tech industry for is having built up a company which did something similar in the electronics industry to what katerra wants to do in construction. they became this massive company, making electronic devices and gadgets for other companies, things like xbox or hp printers. the construction industry is similar to the electronic industry. there are a lot of ways in which katerra wants to do the same thing. there are ways it is which -- ways in which it is much more challenging. the construction industry faces a lot more variation than the electronics industry in the side.ing an you have over 1000 -- 100,000ies municipalities with different weather, different requirements. katerra is trying to pre-assemble a lot of materials, saying things like counters or

cabinets or the exterior and interior wall -- but they still have to do a lot of construction on site. the construction industry is facing a shortage of skilled workers, so that's a challenge for them as well. these projects also take several years. sometimes they run out of money midstream. know how, when will we successful softbank's fund is? obviously, they are making big bets on a lot of companies, really big bets. at what point doing know if this is really paying off? dina: i don't know. they haven't even finished off the whole fund. this fund is targeted at $100 billion. they have started making investments. think it'saterra, i too early to know whether that one company in the fund will be successful. the company's chairman told me they are at $1.3 billion in

bookings, and he predicted it might be $10 billion in revenue in a decade. that's a huge bet, but it is still early days just for that one company. add in the other 99 or so companies that softbank has invested in. there are some big companies in there, some big names that seem to have a fair bit of success and of the -- and others a lot of potential. it's a lot of disparate areas as well. emily: obviously, i know we will continue to follow softbank across the map. dina bass, thank you as always for stopping by. coming up, more from bloomberg's coverage in davos. and if you like bloomberg news, check us out on the radio. listed on the bloomberg radio app, bloomberg.com, and, in the u.s., on sirius xm. this is bloomberg. ♪

it is speculative, filling a need at the moment, but it is not fundamentally you, a majority stake. changing the global landscape. for the average investor, they are not investing in that kind of speculative instrument. >> another big theme you've talked about is automation. all these things people are beginning to ask about. do you think in wealth management and investment banking you are relatively safe from that? >> to the core question of automation and other related topics, i was asked by a journalist recently about how much i focus on competitors. i said, obviously, you're in the same industry, you have some focus, but it's not what we get out of bed worrying about. i worry about ai, about automation, cyber risk, digital. all of these new technologies coming to the market at the same time are transforming the way business is getting done. we try and look at each of our businesses, back to your core

in the meantime, there is a lot of demand out there for that indicative price and that ability to trade it. it's a matter of can we create a construct that is unique enough and different from what's already there. erik: would you think about providing a futures contract for something other than bitcoin? two exchangee traded notes listed in our nordic markets. thereum. other is bitcoin. holistically,more not just that one. emily: that was nasdaq ceo adena friedman in davos. broadcom created the potential for a giant in global chips. we will discuss the impact on apple's supply chain. if you have a holistically, not just that one. emily: that was nasdaq ceo adena bloomberg, check out the bloomberg terminal, tv . watch us online, click on our charts, and interact directly with us. go to tv on your terminal.

in companies. with all the security threats we are seeing, they are becoming a big deal and companies are invested in those technologies. emily: what trends are we seeing from the threats themselves? todd: where they are coming from geographically. you hear people talk about security threats, and it's always from china or eastern europe. what do have against them? what we've seen in the data is that security threats are really originating from all different kinds of countries -- europe, western europe, eastern europe, even from the united states. the takeaway for us is, you can limit your security exposure i limiting -- by limiting the geographies that can connect to your system. systemcan lock down your from certain geographies, you should do that. they: it talks about effectiveness of password policies. how effective are they? todd: in the security arsenal, there is no one silver bullet.

you cannot just locked down things geographically -- lock down things geographically. you have to use strong passwords, multifactor authentication. you have to make sure accounts are turned off and on at the right times. security folks have a hard job. luckily, there is a lot of technology around to help them be more secure. emily: are you finding that password policies are not as effective as they should be? todd: the problem with password policies is that they are not always appropriate for the level of information being secured. you get this phenomenon where you have these crazily restrictive rules about complexity for something that may not even be that sensitive. on the other end of the spectrum, you will have something that is -- doesn't have enough complexity, doesn't have enough multifactor authentication, isn't high enough security. right sensitivity on the right data is the holy grail for customers. emily: you had one of the more successful ipos of 2017.

the question now is, can you keep it up? who are you taking share from among your competitors, one of which is microsoft? todd: we are fortunate to have pioneered this category of this concept of an identity cloud. before okta, all the identity products were really seen as features or add-ons to other platforms. we have pioneered this idea that identity is its own cloud, a standalone platform. emily: what does that actually mean? todd: it means there is value in connecting any kind of technology to people. having that prebuilt set of integration that allows companies to seamlessly pick the technology they want to use and seamlessly deploy and connected securely to their users, that removes a lot of friction and enables businesses to adopt technology faster and helps their own companies be more strategic and grow and make their employees more productive. emily: you provide security to companies that use multiple kinds of products. if you use microsoft office and

workday, you can have a seamless use of all of those. todd: or if you are building a new customer website or a better mobile app your customers, you can have stronger security and it is easier to use on that front as well. emily: who are you taking share from? todd: it's a new category. the concept of identity as a first class platform is a new category. as more companies adopt the cloud -- there are legacy competitors from companies like largely, ibm, but, it's a new category as the crowd emerges and we are there to fill that gap. emily: where do you see okta's opportunity to expand the product and to expand geographically in the near term? todd: the product is very broad. we do everything from customer identity to employ identity. so, the product is already very broad. we will continue to -- i think the big growth will be internationally. only about 15% of our sales are international. partly because north america is so strong.

resistance there. just the energy people put into these programs -- one of the great ironies is that as you get malaria cases down, then the government will tend to move on and focus on something else, so you'll see a rebound. a lot of the bed nets have been wearing out. , welast three years actually have had the number of cases stay flat. in a few countries, including nigeria, the cases have gone up. , we actually haveyou always have son in terms of the weather. the wet season is when the mosquitoes peripherally, in an exponential way -- the community needs to get together. this central america thing is a key part of that. >> the chinese are looking at doing works which are pro bono, as opposed to building things with a much more commercial advantage. bill: as they are becoming

richer, as they are playing a stronger role in the world, china has a conference with the african leaders on a regular basis. i'll attend later this year. compared to the u.s. in history and today, chinese aid is very small. the african countries appreciate, particularly in hiv and malaria, where under president bush the u.s. made these big increases -- they totally appreciate that we have done that. and i think we really can afford to keep doing it. it's a very small part of the budget. i don't think going to them and saying, hey, we need to increase aids and malaria deaths because we are short of something really is the best idea. >> there is a social good there. there is a question of whether america now is prepared to commit itself to those things. is that something you worry about, especially with the current administration? bill: the balance of hard power versus soft power, the u.s.

uniquely has the ratio emphasizing hard power. i'd hate to see it shipped even evener -- it shift further. even the secretary of defense has been eloquent that you don't want to give up your soft power tools. it's all being debated. >> isn't this arguably the first case of a global hegemony giving away its power by not investing? normally -- america's actually pulling back from helping the rest of the world. it's i wouldn't say that unique. the u.s. has often had this debate in our relationship with , which has had ups and downs under different administrations. keeping some pressure on the u.n. to be efficient and

reasonable is not a crazy thing. how far do you go? it's all to do with specifics. in the case of health, the lives being saved are very small amounts of money and you can aim to let the country up so that it is self-sufficient and get rid of the disease. it is not a commitment you're stuck with forever. i think these ones, even in this atmosphere, make the cut. >> do you think george w. bush, in a strange way, never got the credit he deserved for trying to save lives in africa? bill: he didn't. africa is less visible. not as many people go there. initiative, which was hiv focused, those were fantastic things. in some circles, i think he does get credit for those things, but probably not as much as he deserves. >> one last thing. famously, hemp,
