Duncan McLeod and Craig Wilson bring you a bumper and controversial edition of the TalkCentral podcast this week, in which we touch on everything from union opposition to Telkom’s proposed deal with Korea’s KT Corp to smartphone apps in banking and why we think First National Bank’s rivals are missing a big trick.

Topping the agenda in the show is the possible Telkom-KT Corp tie-up, the Competition Tribunal’s hearings into Telkom’s alleged anticompetitive behaviour last decade and the hearings at Icasa on local-loop unbundling.

Also this week, we talk about in-flight Wi-Fi on low-cost airline Mango.
