  • S01 E08 - Roaming ranting...

    This week we talk about international roaming services and wonder why these services - and especially data - command such premium pricing. We discuss:

    • The recent MACH conference.
    • The products and services we use for roaming including Vodafone's data traveller service, Abroadband, Droam, Onavo, Truphone and MiFi devices.
    • The wetpaint Wiki for information on global pre-paid wireless internet access.
    • The EU regulator's efforts to reduce roaming charges.
    • Who or what could disrupt the market for roaming services in future.

        • S01 E03 - The Great App Store Debate: Fab or Fad?

          Episode 3 takes the form of a debate, which Ben chairs (because he's not brave enough to take sides):

          • Rafe argues that App Stores are a passing fad, are limiting and lacking, addressing only a current need that will soon be left behind as innovation in the mobile space continues at a blistering pace.
          • Ewan argues that App Stores are great enablers and have created a multi-Billion dollar industry in mobile applications that's here to stay.
