    In the latest episode of South Africa’s leading technology podcast, your hosts Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg chat about First National Bank’s long-awaited launch into mobile telecommunications as a virtual network operator. They look at what it means and what impact FNB is likely to have on South Africa’s telecoms landscape.

    Also this week, they chat about the upcoming Windows 10 release and what to expect.

    Lastly, they unpack Telkom’s “uncapped” LTE offering. Is it value for money or not?

    Tune it to find out who we named as our winner and loser of the week.

    Regardt’s pick this week is the Garmin nüviCam, while Duncan has chosen two, the LG G4 smartphone and a very useful international delivery service called Aramex Global Shopper.
