    TalkCentral: Ep 149 – ‘FreeMe, Seymour’

    In the latest episode of TechCentral’s podcast, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg chat about Telkom’s new FreeMe packages and why they’re set to shake up the telecommunications industry in South Africa.

    Also this week, they ask whether Telkom has changed its spots. Plus, communications regulator Icasa has issued an invitation to apply for spectrum — why now? And, of course, Pokémon Go is on the show’s agenda — but will it be off the world’s agenda faster than you can find the next monster?

    Listen as Duncan and Regardt pick their product or app of the week (Teta for Android and Pokémon Go respectively) as well as their winner and loser of the week.
