Описание: In this special Season 2 wrap-up episode, Digitel Talk host Ian Ginn is joined by telecoms industry leader Chris Hogg (  / hoggchris  ) to reflect on a remarkable year of conversations exploring telecoms and technology for good.

Together, they revisit standout stories from across the season — from satellites using Bluetooth to reach the unconnected, and AI helping clear landmines, to drones saving lives, inclusive design for people with disabilities, sustainable energy projects, and community-driven connectivity.

With 32 episodes, voices from 78 countries, and insights gathered from global events including AI for Good, Network X, FYUZ, and Connected Britain, this episode offers a thoughtful look back at the ideas, innovations and people shaping a more connected, human-centred digital future.
