Australian telcos don’t always have the best time, and this week, Optus is in the news, as are new phones.

Catching up on the latest in technology doesn’t always have to take a lot of time. Every Thursday on ABC Sydney Drive, Pickr’s Leigh Stark does exactly that, and on the July 30 programme, we’re talking what’s happening between the government and Optus, and also what’s coming in the world of phones.

Specifically how mobiles look set to change and why you might just want to wait a few weeks before considering buying something else.

You can hear about all of that on ABC Sydney Drive with Thomas Oriti on the July 30 broadcast, kicking in from just after the 44 minute mark (or at 44.11 to be exact).
