SPECIAL REPORT: See You Sonya!

After a whopping and amazing 41 years of operation, Australian tech and automotive giga-giant, Sonya ARC has been taken under QKD Automotive and Tech. After speaking with Sonya's CEO, Marcos Redfern or ItsFireFox2006, the company, despite being a multi-billion dollar consumer and enterprise technology heavyweight that defined the industry for just over 4 decades, had been going through some financial problems and was on the verge of bankruptcy. The first company Sonya had partnered with was QKD, meaning the company was trusted with the conglomerate.


Sonya is still the half-owner of tech company Studia Electronics, run by Maximus Marvino or Catalyst_0 alongside Instablox, so that company has not said anything on its future under the new ownership. The same goes for the company's popular buy and sell platform, LoopSell, but with Instablox working on a competitor that will take months to flesh out, that market will remain open if the service is continued.


No one but people at QKD knows what will remain from Sonya, including its phone lines, laptops, and Android skin, but the Sonya ARC CEO told CarBlox to expect more QKD products with Sonya-level modeling, so the future seems bright for the tech company under the new leadership. The Studia CEO has confirmed to talk with QKD's CEO Kubxxn on that company's future. The company plans on transitioning into smart home tech and has pushed most of it's expected product releases until the company has confirmed what is going to happen under QKD's ownership of the brand.


In other related news, IAS applications have been closed, until today. Any company that didn't apply in time was supposed to have to wait until 2022 for the next IAS, but one of the event's participators had to leave. Probably Sonya since they are now under QKD. Until the list is updated again, these are all the participants and their representatives in IAS 2021:
