Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

We start this week with two big handset stories - BlackBerry 10 and the Samsung Galaxy S3 - before moving on to the rest of the news, including more mobile wallets, more free WiFi, more quarterly results and more legal action!

This week's podcast starts with Nokia's billion-pound loss, although there's plenty of good news as well. We discuss it all - from UK ad-funded network Ovivo Mobile to Barclaycard's new spin on mobile payments.
