What a news week! In the latest edition of TechCentral’s TalkCentral podcast, your hosts Duncan McLeod and Craig Wilson unpack the news that Convergence Partners, the technology investment vehicle of Dimension Data Africa chairman Andile Ngcaba, wants to work with partners to build a wholesale, open-access, mobile broadband network based on long-term evolution technology.

We also look at some of the related developments around the Independent Communications Authority of SA’s plans to license access to spectrum in the 800MHz and 2,6GHz radio frequency spectrum bands.

Also in this week’s show, we look back at the biggest announcements and gadgets coming out of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, including the new HTC One X, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, Nokia’s 41-megapixel camera phone and, of course, the Microsoft Windows 8 consumer preview.
