    [dropcap]O[/dropcap]n TalkCentral this week, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg chat via Skype about the constitutional court judgment in favour of former communications minister Faith Muthambi.

    Also this week, Japan’s Nippon Telephone and Telegraph said to be mulling the sale of Dimension Data Africa (but there are strong denials), Telkom is getting a new name, Telkom is boosting copper-based digital subscriber lines to 100Mbit/s (well, some of them) and Apple’s insane, US$5 000 iMac Pro.

    Regardt’s pick this week is an audiobook, The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester, while Duncan has chosen the Jabra Elite Sport.

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