    TalkCentral-640

    In this week’s episode of TalkCentral, your hosts Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg talk about MTN’s aggressive expansion plans in the enterprise IT market, including its plans to make acquisitions.

    Also in this week’s podcast, your hosts discuss the looming turf war in Parkhurst between start-up Vumatel and Telkom over fibre to the home. And they talk about the details of the Universal Service & Access Agency of South Africa’s plan to subsidise digital set-top boxes and the fact that poor households will have to present a television licence to qualify.

    Tune in to find out who’s made the cut as winner and loser of the week.

    Regardt’s pick this week is Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff, while Duncan has chosen the newly updated Zomato, which runs on the Web with apps available for pretty much every smartphone platform.
