    Surie Ramasary

    In this episode of the TechCentral podcast, Duncan McLeod chats to Surie Ramasary, the chief executive for content at Black, Cell C’s new entertainment and video streaming platform.

    In the podcast, Ramasary provides detailed insights into the new platform and how it will work.

    She talks about the new Android set-top box that will be made available as part of the offering and explains some of the technical details behind the service — from streaming quality to how you can watch the service on a big-screen TV.

    Ramasary walks through the pricing tiers for Black, explains how Cell C fibre broadband customers will benefit (including receiving a free set-top box) and sets out Cell C’s plans to bid for local sports rights.

    It’s a great interview. Don’t miss it!

    How to subscribe to TechCentral’s podcasts

    There are many ways to enjoy TechCentral’s podcasts, beyond simply streaming them from our website. A good way is by subscribing to them using an app on your phone, allowing you to listen in the car, at the gym or wherever you happen to be.

    The TechCentral Podcast RSS feed is available via iono.fm. Note that this is a separate feed to the weekly TalkCentral podcast, the RSS for which is available here. If you’d like both podcasts in one RSS feed, that’s here.
