The shared economy companies&nbsp;are threatened by laws and regulation. But then, which <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_innovation" target="_blank">disruptive</a> businesses are not? Uber and Airbnb are likely to be darlings of Wall Street if they decide to go public. But will they live up to the hype? Possibly in the long run, some things could go downhill. But with access to capital, low debts and high reach, these companies are likely to cover their tracks and stay on top in the near future. But skeptics would compare these possible high profile IPOs to <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/joanlappin/2013/11/11/two-years-after-its-busted-ipo-groupon-still-cant-turn-a-profit/" target="_blank">Groupon</a> and <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/102020026" target="_blank">Alibaba</a> which saw decline in shares after going public. Time will tell.

Starlink is a satellite broadband service provided by Elon Musk's SpaceX. Starlink is a revolutionary service aimed at providing fast broadband Internet services in rural parts of the US and other parts of the world where it is costly and difficult to provide high quality broadband Internet services.One of the most interesting scenarios arising from the launch and expansion of Starlink throughout the world is that this technology has the potential to bring broadband Internet access to billions of people living in rural or other parts of the world which do not currently have wide-spread access to broadband Internet, including North Korea. In our view, Starlink will never be allowed by NK's mafia boss Kim Jong-Un although it would be technically feasible to provide Starlink in North Korea in a few years. <div class="content-highlight">Nonetheless, there could be some fearless people in North Korea who would be willing to risk their lives to avoid the Big Lie and seek the signals of Starlink.
