In this episode of Telgoo5 Talks, Stuart Chowning sits down with wireless industry veteran Jon Horovitz for a wide-ranging conversation on how the telecom world has evolved—and where it’s headed. From the early days of landline loss and costly per-minute billing to today’s data-first environment, they trace the shifts that shaped the market and the challenges operators face now that wireless is everywhere.
They discuss:
The transition from voice to data as the core service
Why MVNOs can’t compete on price alone
How bundling, IoT, and travel SIMs are creating new revenue streams
The role of influencers and nontraditional entrants in reshaping subscriber acquisition
What skills and technologies the next-generation telecom workforce needs
Whether you’re a carrier, MVNO, or just curious about how connectivity keeps evolving, this episode offers candid insights into what’s driving growth—and what’s next.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
