Once a week we get together in a studio somewhere in London to take the piss out of telecoms and technology for an hour or so.

The man in the street

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2018/01/29

Iain called a sickie this week so we drafted in Trystan, otherwise known as the man in the street, to give us a different perspective on all the stuff we bang on about. Jamie kicks things off with a look at increasing calls for transparency and what this says about the breakdown of trust, but they soon go off on a general social media tangent. Scott eventually moves things along to the US/China tensions and what this might mean for big US chip players, but slips in an Orange content tangent. They

The usual suspects attempt to circumnavigate the globe from the comfort of their studio. Iain, Jamie and Scott start by taking a look at the UK broadband scene, where we’re increasingly looking for more fibre in our diets but we’re still not sure why. Moving on to Germany Iain claims a little scoopette with the revelation that Deutsche Telekom has had a cabinet reshuffle and gets to show off his awesome German pronunciation skills. On the other side of the pond the US seems to be getting

Scott’s finally decided to do some work in 2018 and is joined by Jamie (and his many donuts) and Iain from Light Reading. They start with a review of CES – the first big tech show of the year – and its obsession with voice-driven smart speakers. They move on to the hot topic of social media censorship and, between donuts, Jamie seems to think Scott should be censored for starters, followed by government ministers tweeting about their days out instead of running the country. The team concludes with

We care a lot

2018/01/08

After an extended Christmas break, from which Scott has yet to emerge, Jamie drafts in Iain from Light Reading and Jesse from TBI to take an early look at what we should care about, or not, in 2018. They start by trying to care about net neutrality and largely fail to do so, but they do manage to care a bit more about the prospect of Apple buying Netflix. With a heavy heart the team concludes with 5G, which they feel compelled to at least pretend they care about, except Jesse. Stay up to date with

5G special

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2017/11/20

Having taken an extra week to get over the GloTel Awards, Scott and Jamie are back with a brand new special guest. William Webb is a wireless industry consultant and author and has some strong views on all the hype around 5G, so we thought we’d focus on that topic for the whole pod. Jamie reflects on some sceptical vibes coming from operators around 5G, while William asks what took them so long to speak up. They conclude IoT is likely to be the most useful 5G feature in the mid-term and finish off

2017/11/06

This special edition of the Telecoms.com podcast is brought to you from the Global Telecoms Awards because nobody felt like coming into the office the next day. Scott, Ray, Jamie and Iain all reflect on a top night out, with Scott trying to nip his hangover in the bud with a bottle of bubbly he nicked off another table. Earlier in the week Vodafone tried something a bit different with its tariffs, but Iain wasn’t impressed, preferring instead to bang on about Ericsson’s lofty 5G claims. Stay up to

2017/10/30

Having been abandoned a week ago Scott is once more joined by Jamie and Iain. They start by recapping the recent Broadband World Forum event in Berlin, which was attended by Iain and Scott, the latter being reminded how little he knows about fixed line networking. Meanwhile we’re in the middle of the Q3 earnings season and the big US tech giants are raking it in once more. One the back of that they mull over the power of the big internet brands and wonder which other industries they might yet

This week we welcome guest podder Jesse from TV business title TBI to talk about how video content is distributed and monetized, and what lesson the telecoms world can learn in its apparent desperation to move in that direction. Jamie is back from his latest travels and brings us news of what was discussed at the Nordic Digital Business Summit. We conclude by reviewing some of the week’s corporate dramas, with Hollywood even managing to put itself in the spotlight on that front too. Stay up to date

2017/10/09

The Light Reading sandwich makes appearance once more as Scott is joined by Ray and Iain. They start by arguing the toss over whether ISPs should be allowed to sell broadband on the basis of ‘up to’ a maximum speed that is rarely achieved, which leads to a showdown between the LR lads. Moving further afield, they reflect on the turmoil in the Indian telecoms market caused by the disruptive entry of Reliance Jio and then move on to the growing need to automate a lot of network management. To finish,

Talking turmoil

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2017/10/02

Our team of talkative telecoms trouble-makers turn their sceptical gaze onto the turmoil at the top of TIM this week, where Vivendi is exercising far more control than its 24% shareholding would seem to allow. Later they wrestle with the many challenges surrounding the smart home, which in Scott’s case includes even being able to say it properly. Lastly the guys tackle the age-old question of how operators can best move with the times and ask whether they’re even capable of change. Stay up to date

Jamie’s back and he, Scott and Iain from Light Reading discuss the decision to kick Uber out of London, which threatens to make going out on the piss until the small hours significantly more expensive in the capital. Meanwhile Deutsche Telekom has launched an offensive on the content market as the two worlds increasingly collide. Lastly the team have a look at Google’s latest smartphone move, which involves grabbing the cream of HTC’s engineering talent, and wonder what this means for the future of

Light Reading sandwich

2017/09/18

In the absence of Jamie, Scott becomes the filling in a Light Reading sandwich as he’s outnumbered by Ray and Iain. The three discuss long overdue big investments in fibre from the likes of Vodafone and Verizon, and why they matter. Talking about big investments they move on to the exceptional sum Apple wants for its latest shiny thing and to what extent that’s taking the piss. The gang concludes by reflecting on the necessity of the distributed cloud and how paying for it is nearly as expensive as

Dirty data

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2017/09/11

Scott and Jamie are joined by Ray from Light Reading and the team start by reflecting on the amount of moaning the impending UK 5G auctions have caused. They then ponder how little control we have over our digital live and ask whether there should be a limit on the power of the dominant digital utilities. Lastly Ray derides dirty data, which is bad, naughty and needs to be thoroughly spanked to teach it a lesson, prompting one of Scott's paranoid AI tangents. Stay up to date with the most

Back in business

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2017/09/04

Scott and Jamie put the band back together with the help of Iain of Light Reading. The telecoms tyrants pick up where they left off by arguing the toss over net neutrality, Europe’s 5G progress and some new gadgetry for IFA. In classic journalistic tradition they end up debating whether any of it actually matters and completely fail to come to a unanimous conclusion on anything.

Scott and Jamie are joined by Ray and Iain from Light Reading as the elite of global telecoms journalism apply their collective wisdom to the week’s burning issues. The gang start by dissecting Ericsson’s new cunning plan but opinion is divided on the new CEO and specifically when he’s going to get his magic wand out. They move on to the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 by DJ Koh, feat. MC Bixby and once more the team struggle for consensus, especially on the matter of placing potentially volatile

From The Dull To The Downright Dodgy

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2017/03/20

It’s ‘just the two of us’ as Scott and Jamie go it alone on the general topic of devices. They are left bored by the lack of excitement around the delayed Samsung Galaxy S8 launch, awed by Apple’s ability to take people to the cleaners and floored by an attempt to charge ten grand for a phone. Later the lads discuss jostling in the connected car market, the Yahoo ballyhoo and the curious case of the connected sex toy.

In the first podcast of the post-Skinner era, the team is joined by super-sub Iain Morris from Light Reading. Among the key conversation-points of the week include BT finally caving in to Ofcom’s demands for the ‘legal separation’ of Openreach – whatever that means. The guys also mull over the pros and cons of accelerating 5G NR by itself and reflect on the apparent ability of the CIA to hack our devices in order to keep an eye on us.

To 5G or not to 5G

Telecoms.com Podcast ·

2017/03/03

The team is joined once more by the incomparable Mary Clark, who is no longer living on the edge but still has plenty to say about roaming. With talk at the recent MWC 2017 trade show dominated by 5G they try to reel in the hype and question the return on investment from all this 5G-ness we’re supposed to be getting so excited about. Later they conclude Nokia is the Sri Lankan bus driver of the telecoms industry, discuss the pros and cons of walls and Tim walks out for the very last time. Stay up

MWC Comes Prematurely

The team review the flood of marketing missives received in the build-up to the big communications climax and ponder whether it’s worth all the hassle. Meanwhile Tim tells us about his African experiences and Jamie fondly recalls a subsidised drinking in Berlin. Scott once more offends Tim so much that he storms off again.
