Tech start-up job fair Silicon Milkroundabout is offering candidates 1,500 free tickets to each of its two days this year. Saturday 26th May is for Product Management and Design, while Sunday 27th is Engineering day.

The event launched in May 2011 and was followed by a second fair held in October. A total of 1,876 jobseekers attended and 168 jobs were filled.

The UK’s tech and digital industry appears to be growing strongly, with Sunday’s Silicon Milkroundabout jobs fair in London rapidly filling up. It’ll see over 100 start-up companies offering 500 + developer jobs with salaries of up to £100,000.

London’s first Silicon Milkroundabout was held in May this year, welcoming over 400 attendees and 45 participating companies.

Chinese telecoms firm Huawei says it plans to create 500 new UK jobs during the next three years, doubling its current staffing levels.

The company, which is based in Basingstoke, also says it'll generate over a thousand jobs through subcontracting.

Plus, as usual, the team takes its regular look at news headlines from the last seven days – including mobile payments, mobile shopping and mobile fraud.

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?
