Great show as usual. You don’t post this show on YouTube like The Vergecast, Linux Action Show, etc?
This show deserves more attention and it’s nice to be able to link to the middle of the show.
(Not that I agree with everything Google/Youtube does, but it’s a popular platform and their media player is fairly decent.)
I’m currently a Mobilicity customer but I’m thinking about switching to 7-Evelen’s prepaid plan.
Could you comment a bit on that?
