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.
He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

This week we talk about the 'BlackBerry crumble', discuss legal challenges to Android, look at mobile advertising and thoroughly wash our hands before making any calls. Listen to find out why!
