This week I’m back on the NZ Tech Podcast. It’s episode 749 and I’m talking to Paul Spain about the privacy implications of the government’s proposed road user charges and the vehicle data tracking that is likely to come with the new charge. There are also new rules on biometric data.

We also talk about Motorola’s new phone line-up and the company’s deal with One NZ. The topic is also covered in the latest edition of my DownLoad Weekly newsletter. Another subject covered in the newsletter and the podcast is Spark’s recent data centre deal and a wider look at what’s going on in the sector here in New Zealand. And there’s a lot of talk about what satellite broadband is doing to the wider telecoms sector.
