    Steve Briggs

    In this promoted episode of the podcast, TechCentral is joined by Seacom chief commercial officer Steve Briggs for a discussion on the company’s new fibre-to-the-home Internet service provider, WonderNet, as well as a look at how Covid-19 is forcing the world to transform digitally.

    Briggs explains why Seacom decided to launch a consumer FTTH provider and how WonderNet will differentiate itself in a competitive market — and where the name WonderNet came from.

    The conversation then turns to the impact of Covid-19, not only on the traffic flowing across Seacom’s network, but also the why the pandemic is likely to accelerate companies’ digital transformation efforts.

    What lessons are being learnt through the lockdown, and what does it mean for the future of work and business?

    Don’t miss the discussion!
