In this episode of TalkCentral, your hosts Duncan McLeod and Craig Wilson chat about last week’s big department of communications’ policy colloquium. We discuss whether anything will flow out of the event and the likely impact that communications minister Dina Pule and her director-general Rosey Sekese will have on the technology landscape.
Also in this week’s show, we delve into the price cuts announced by Internet service providers in the wake of the recent 30% cut in the price they pay Telkom to access the fixed-line operator’s broadband digital subscriber line network.
We also talk about the phletora of new cable systems headed SA’s way, including the planned 12,8Tbit/s Brics Cable that will link Russia, China, India, SA, Brazil and the US.
In our new feature, Craig picks Microsoft Photosynth and TourWrist and his apps this week. Duncan quite favours TuneIn Radio and Radio South Africa.
