Craig Wilson and Duncan McLeod bring you episode 40 of TalkCentral, TechCentral’s business technology podcast. In this week’s episode, we focus on fibre optics: the new Dark Fibre Africa link between Mtunzini and Gauteng and plans by the City of Tshwane to introduce bylaws that will assist in the construction of fibre networks.

We also look at local-loop unbundling, Teraco’s deal with the International Finance Corp and the Development Bank of Southern Africa, Internet Solutions’ acquisition of a stake in Synaq and Telkom’s R1,1bn operating loss from mobile start-up 8ta. We also talk about Windows 8 and the possible turnaround in perceptions about Microsoft and plenty more.
