    It’s podcast time! In this week’s episode of TalkCentral, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg talk about telecommunications minister Siyabonga Cwele’s decision to reverse course on a plan to assign all future high-demand spectrum to the planned wholesale wireless open-access network.

    Also this week, Microsoft to build Azure data centres in South Africa, Huawei gets into the PC business, Naspers may sell its African pay-television assets, and we ask: have we hit peak TV (which leads into a discussion about the best TV series in recent years)?

    Regardt’s pick this week is DaVinci Resolve, while Duncan has chosen Stash for Android, an app from financial services group Liberty.

    Tune into the podcast to find out who’s been named winner and loser of the week.
