Everyone’s favourite, award-winning, telecoms industry podcast is back with the usual suspects wearing the effects of the inaugural Telecoms.com Meetup the previous night.

With everyone belatedly getting their acts together, the boys are back in town for the first pod of the year.

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2018/12/07

In this special pod recorded on location in Portugal Scott is outnumbered by no less than three Light Reading hacks, including a first appearance from US editor Phil Harvey.

Diversification, consolidation and aggravation

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2018/12/03

The core team of Jamie, Iain and Scott are beck in town and they start by mulling over the faltering attempts of by operators to diversify away from their core business in the endless search for margin and growth.

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2018/11/19

A globetrotting podcast this week features Ray from Light Reading as Scott’s only conversational partner, but since he equates to at least two regular pundits that’s fine. They discuss the recent AfricaCom event in Cape Town, before moving onto the latest corporate shenanigans at Telecom Italia, which unhelpfully took place between the recording and publication of this podcast. They conclude with a look at EE and Virgin Media getting in trouble with Ofcom and Oracle trying to buy its way back into

Broadband, 5G and Q3 numbers

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2018/10/29

The usual suspects assemble once more in order to record their incoherent ramblings for your pleasure. They have all been travelling, with Jamie and Iain recalling their experiences at the Broadband World Forum event in Berlin, which included reckless consumption of absinthe. Scott, meanwhile, schlepped all the way over to Hong Kong in order to hang out with Qualcomm and talk incessantly about 5G. They conclude with a look both at the latest numbers served up by the big kit vendors and also Jamie’s

Cheeky China, real 5G and net neutrality

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2018/10/08

Jamie, Ian and Scott take a look at the emerging story regarding allegations that some tech kit coming out of China contains a tiny chip which enables some degree of espionage. Everyone involved in the report is denying it but someone must be lying. On that note the debate moves on to what constitutes a genuine 5G launch as opposed to the many ‘5G firsts’ being claimed by late-stage trials. They conclude with a look at the continued dispute in the US over net neutrality regulations and other

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2018/10/01

It’s back to the usual suspects this week, with Jamie and Iain reflecting on their recent visit to Vodafone’s HQ for an update about what the operator group has been up to.

The pod concludes with a spot of globe trotting, which includes India and

2018/09/24

Another special episode this week as Scott and Wei visit the Ovum Digital Futures summit and are joined by Analyst Ed Barton. They have the bright idea of starting the recording outside, which not only results in a regrettable amount of wind noise but also tiresome bureaucratic interference (after 10 minutes), both of which are resolved by a move inside. In keeping with the theme of the event the three of them discuss trends in media consumption, the role of artificial intelligence in consumer tech

5G, IoT and Apple iPhone

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2018/09/17

The pod has a special guest this week in the form of Telecoms Consultant William Webb, who joins Scott along with the no-less special Iain Morris of Light Reading.

They move on to IoT and contemplate whether operators are even capable of moving up the value stack, before concluding with a look at the new iPhone and the significant of Apple supporting e-SIM.

Puzzling times

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2018/09/10

Jamie and Scott are joined by Ray from Light Reading, who kicks things off by analysing why the big telecoms vendors seem to be stepping up their M&A activity – spoiler alert: it’s all about automation and being cloud-native. Conversation moves seamlessly on to the jigsaw puzzle that is 5G as, more than any previous generation, a lot of pieces have to be in place for it to work properly. After some meandering tangents the guys conclude with a look at the growing hostility by western governments

Business as usual

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2018/08/20

Scott is back from his challenging summer holiday and just can’t wait to hang out with his podcast chums Jamie and Iain once more.

Scraping the barrel

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

Meanwhile Jamie offers an update on what Samsung is up to, including a bunch of AI investments, and wonders what the hell the point of Bixby is. Lastly Ray ponders the implications of Cisco losing the head of its service provider business but declines to make himself available for the vacancy. Stay up to

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2018/07/23

Scott is struggling in this episode, having been led astray by Ericsson’s PR team the previous evening, but he holds it together long enough to compare notes with Ray about their chat with Ericsson CEO Börje Ekholm.

Then, inspired by his puzzling success, Ray treats us to a look at blockchain in telecoms to finish things off. Stay up to date with the most important
