The lads are back on the beers this week after just a single austere episode. They start by analysing the biggest story of the week, which involved a major strategic deal between Vodafone and Microsoft in which the former will lean heavily on the latter’s cloud infrastructure, inevitably including AI cleverness. The move on to discuss Iain’s recent interview with the CTO of Three, before concluding with a look at Apple’s market dominance.

Iain and Scott start this week by looking at how the increasingly politicised US telecoms regulator, the FCC, will be affected by the change in government. As if to show it’s no less inclined to politicise telecoms, European operators joined forces to plead for state assistance with OpenRAN, which the guys discuss next, before concluding with a look at recent mobile spectrum auctions.

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.
