This episode is witness to a riveting discussion about the usage of FLOSS in the telecoms industry. Which goes back approximately fifty years with Ericsson (a large Swedish telco equipment manufacturer) coming up with Erlang, a programming language still prominently used in projects such as RabbitMQ. Listen to our two heroes apply their semi-existent knowledge about FLOSS in general and telecommunications in particular in this mind-boggling episode. Plus bonus content in the shape of a crash course on the history of the telecom industry, a peek behind the scenes of iOS (or to put it another way: the gory details of this mobile operating system that you have always wanted to know but were afraid to ask) and outlook to a future episode of your beloved podcast (gasp!). Consider yourself warned (to some extent anyway :-).
