About this Episode
In the recent Technology News, hardly a week goes past without some mention of 5G or Full Fibre roll out and the Government’s desire to see these being implemented across the whole country is a short timescale.
At the same time, we hear from Analysts that the Telecom Sector is under-performing.
For those of us focused on the Public Sector, hardly a month goes past without a new Framework being announced.
To discuss these issues, Lynne Magennis is joined by fellow Innopsis Director Michael Bowyer and Afshin Attari from Exponential-e.
