Tim, Jamie and Ray have all abandoned Scott this week, but Iain Morris from Light Reading is still in town to make sure Mr. Bicheno doesn’t end up rambling into a microphone on his own for 45 minutes. The two of them chew the fat about Ericsson and Cisco’s ludicrously friendly relationship. Elsewhere, Trump gets to work on… whatever an unexpected President does; and a long and expensive investigation into the exploding Note7 concludes it was down to a faulty battery… well no sh!t… Stay up to date with the most important telecoms stories from around the world with the Telecoms.com daily newsletter.

The Week In Wireless posse sees Tim debatably upgraded to Ray from Light Reading for the time being. The plucky telecoms hacks soldier on regardless and discuss the apparent moment of truth faced by their industry, which faces the prospect of connectivity costing more to deliver than it makes in revenue. In an attempt to lighten things up they then talk about some of the shininess unveiled at CES, but soon fall out over connected fridges. They sign off by looking at the task faced by Ericsson’s new CEO and wish him good luck – he’ll need it.

This week Tim’s husky voice even makes AT&T’s dodgy billing sound sexy. Ofcom turns the tables on the Fix Britain’s Internet’ perennial moaners by giving them the chance to do fibre themselves. The gang examine the names behind the internet’s biggest companies, Amazon opens the super store of the future, Bluetooth says it’s going to do more Bluetoothing, and IoT saves the day for one car owner in the States – oh and the guys come with the industry’s sexiest new acronym: Super-aaS.

With a work-shy Scott skiving off again, Iain Morris joins Tim and Jamie to explore the ramifications of governmental spying in the US and the UK. Trump gets hostile on net neutrality; BT has another mare with Ofcom and Openreach; and if you’re listening to this on an iPhone, you’re probably a girl.

This week Tim, Jamie and a returning Scott chew the gristle of BTEE’s unsolicited and gloating-not-gloating Christmas letter to all its MNO buddies. The government’s £1 billion investment in fibre and 5G comes at the cost of no one being allowed to watch freaky porn anymore, and a super-battery being developed by some clever bods over at the University of Central Florida threatens to shake up the whole electronics industry. Oh, and Scott talks IoT sheep while Jamie gets defensive over his sense of humour.

Meanwhile in Africa, Tim and Ray greet Amy Turner to the pod as the gang digests the happenings from AfricaCom. The guys are live from the AfricaCom Awards, with Beyoncé and 50Cent in tow, going over the biggest trends from the show. Taking a bit of a reality check from the marketing-fuelled buzzwordy world of telecoms, the podders wrap up the biggest key theme emerging from the show: bringing fundamental electricity and cellular connectivity to more than 600 million African citizens. If you work in African telecoms, this week’s episode is for you. If you don’t, this year’s AfricaCom was an eye-opener. Oh, and Tim ate a cheeseburger pie.

This week Tim and Jamie are left to their own devices so go off on one about what happened over in America last week. Politics aside the podders muse over what Trump’s surprise Presidential Election victory will mean for technology industries. They cover the principal areas of Trump’s policy, and whether the telecoms market will be affected as a result; followed by a bit of conspiracy-generation over whether Google knew Trump and Brexit was going to happen. Finally, they wrap up by asking whether bio-modification in the form of wireless chips can cure paralysis.

It was the Global Telecoms Awards last night so we decided to bring you, dear listener, a one-off special podcast live-ish from the awards featuring funny-person-off-the-telly Katherine Ryan! Katherine joins Tim, Jamie and Ray to go over the awards, what she learned about telecoms (including a reference to ‘the internet of a thing’), and how it feels to finally make it big and host the industry’s most awesomest awards! The guys do end up talking shop for a few minutes, covering Facebook’s friggin’ amazing quarter fuelled by mobile, and Apple’s apparent decline. Oh, and we lied, it’s not going to be on YouTube as well. Sorry about that. Stay up to date with the most important telecoms stories from around the world with the Telecoms.com daily newsletter.
