Two economists from Deloitte Access Economics, Liza Van Der Merwe and Mayuresh Prasad, walk us through the findings from that report, and what the future may hold for fibre in NZ.

Plus, the first part of a new segment where Garth Bray upgrades from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone 16 and lets us know what he thinks of the latest in smartphone tech.
