Join Iain Graham, James Rosewell and Mark Bridge for an informed and entertaining look at all the major mobile industry news stories from the past seven days.

Telefonica is closing its Voice-over-IP service Jajah from 31st January 2014.

It acquired the company in 2009.

Telefonica's acquisition of voice over IP service Jajah in 2010 has led to the launch of O2's latest product: an International Calling Card.

The company says it's cleaning up what it describes as a "scammy" market by offering competitive charges from just 1p per minute.

There are some changes at the top of Telefónica Europe and its IP phone service Jajah.

Trevor Healy, currently CEO of Jajah, is stepping up to become Chairman of Jajah and will also have a new role as Chief Innovation Officer for Telefónica Europe.  Meanwhile Steve Alder, who’s General Manager of UK and Group Devices for Telefónica Europe, will become the new CEO of Jajah.

Voice over IP service JAJAH – bought by Telefonica last year – has released a mobile application that lets Facebook users call their friends directly with a single click.

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.

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
