    It’s TalkCentral time. On this week’s podcast, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg talk about the best of Mobile World Congress 2017. What does it tell us that the most talked about gadget at this year’s show was a feature phone?

    Also this week, MTN’s results — will its restructuring set it up for renewed growth — and the latest on Cell C’s recapitalisation. Plus, new shared-data plans from Telkom and Cell C — what took the operators so long?

    Duncan’s pick this week’s is Bitdefender for Android, while Regardt has chosen Setapp.
