Bloomberg Businessweek Weekend - July 10th, 2026

SK Hynix Inc. is considering new ways of selling access to its memory chips, including a concept called “memory as a service,” suggesting customers could rent usage from the South Korean company rather than purchasing the actual semiconductors. “We could actually deliver some other business models,” SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “We could be memory servicers, memory as a service. In the future, that is another area where we could actually focus.”

Chey, whose company controls SK Hynix, made the comments after the South Korean chipmaker raised $26.5 billion with its American depositary receipt offering, the largest ever US first-time share sale by a foreign company. SK Hynix’s ADRs opened about 14% above their offering price.

Chey didn’t specify exactly how such a business model would work and said new software would be needed to enable it. But tech companies have run “software as a service” businesses and other variations in which clients can pay usage fees to access software or computing power rather than buy it outright. Chey said the goal of such a new service would be to solve the bottleneck of memory capacity.

On this episode, Carol Massar and guest host Isabelle Lee speak with:
Ed Ludlow, Bloomberg Tech Host
Nina Trentmann, Bloomberg News Senior Editor AND Chris Stansbury, CFO, Lumen on Lumen's Data-Center Fiber Deals, Alkira acquisition
Stuart Paul, Bloomberg Economics US & Canada Economist on Fed’s Warsh Names Leadership for Five New Task Forces
Richard O'Brien, GM at Giesen Wine on Giesen’s early entry into the non-alcoholic wine category and the evolution of Giesen 0% into the #1 premium NA wine brand in the U.S.

SK Chairman Has 'Much, Much Bigger' US Investment Plan

The US is trying to rebuild its domestic supply chain for rare earth elements, but is facing a challenge in finding talent to run the facilities. Rare earth plants are complicated and expensive to build, and chemical engineers and metallurgists experienced in rare earths have nearly gone extinct in America. The federal government and universities are trying to rebuild the pipeline of skilled workers, but the US produces far fewer mining graduates than China, and the industry faces an economic hurdle in attracting specialists.
