TechCentral Nexus S0E1: Starlink, BEE and a new leader at Vodacom

This is the first (and beta) episode of a new podcast series curated by TechCentral’s editorial team and generated by artificial intelligence tools. It’s an experiment for now, but if it works well, we’ll consider making it a regular feature by lauching a season 1.

Note that even using the most accurate and reliable sources, AI can and will occasionally make mistakes.

Again, this is experimental. We welcome your feedback. Would you like this podcast to become a regular feature? Is there anything you’d like us to improve? Is an hour too long? Drop us a line at [email protected].
