Podcasting has become mainstream, which us great. It means people from all walks of life, harbouring a vast wealth of knowledge, have finally found a voice. Sadly, for many, hours of show preparation is wasted when their endeavours are rewarded by tens, not hundreds or thousands, of listeners.

The way we listen to radio is changing. Maybe not for everyone, but for many of us; eventually, most of us. It’ll come as no surprise that the internet is behind the change.

Trump’s unexpected win reflects the dissatisfaction of huge swathes of disenfranchised voters across America. They are upset because they are not seeing their lifestyle improve, yet the rich elite seem to be accumulating the wealth with little or none of it trickling down to the rest of the population. In this episode of The Debunking Economics podcast Steve Keen says money needs to be forced to circulate rather than accumulate. But how do you do that? Phil Dobbie asks Steve whether higher taxes are part of the solution, which would be ironic given the US President elect has done a good job of evading them.

This week the inflation rate in the UK hit one percent. It’s a long way from the high teens of the late seventies and early eighties. In this inaugural episode of The Debunking Economics Podcast, Phil Dobbie suggests that low inflation is a good thing. It means prices aren’t going up. But, Prof. Steve Keen suggests there’s one reason we should be welcoming higher inflation. He also discusses the role of inflation in monetary decisions made by Reserve Banks around the world.

Donald Trump has some weird ideas. Building a wall along thesouthern US border and getting Mexico to pay for it, for example. But, as Steve Keen explains, on other matters Trump’s intuition is right, he just loses the argument with some of the detail.
-
Reserve banks spend a lot of time discussing the interplaybetween inflation and interest rates. In this third episode of the DebunkingEconomics podcast we look at how the two are inter-related and whether the bondis as tight as Central Banks seem to believe. How does it relate to theinterest rate your own bank charges for a mortgage? And why, when interestrates are so low, are we not seeing the expected level of inflation growth?

In this edition of the Debunking Economics podcast Steve Keen explaisn why he is an ardent supporter of Brexit. Phil Dobbie, who believes Britain should stay in as long as the EU exists, asks whether a more moderated approach to the original idea of a European Union would have been a better outcome. But it’s clear Steve’s thoughts are that the concept, as it stands, is so abhorrent that a Brexit is needed to encourage others to do the same and pull the whole thing apart.

The government has outlined a framework for migrating customers to the NBN, with a threat of regulatory action on the industry if the process isn't smoothed out.Last year Tony Warren, Telstra's Head of Regulatory Affairs, said that the process needed to be fixed and the Comms Alliance was the logical body to coordinate improvements.Today it seems to have fallen on the NBN to work through the detail and, whilst they say things have got better, there is a lot of room for improvement in how services are installed and activated.So, does the government's paper help the situation. Phil Dobbie argues the four pillars are so high-level and the issue seems to be in the detailed execution.We hear from:Katarzyna Stapleton, Executive General Manager Disconnections & Migration at nbn;Christine Williams, Telstra’s Director of Equivalence; andPaul Brooks, Board Director, Internet AustraliaDo you have something to add?

No sooner had NBN released its Network Design Rules document than one blogger was questioning whether the 2Gbps uplink capacity per node was enough to cater for peak demand. After all, Cisco is forecasting 29 percent annual growth in peak demand from Australian internet users, and that prediction was made before the arrival of Netflix.NBN says it’s not a big issue. As explained in this week’s Crosstalk, upgrading requires changing an optical switch, not the costly process of adding more fibre. So, the NBN probably has a few years life in it, helped by new standards that could see peak speeds delivered across vectored VDSL double over the next few years. Again, without the need to lay more fibre.But what when we do eventually demand more capacity and speed? Running fibre to the premises could be three times the expense – something that won’t be undertaken whilst the NBN is rushing to pay-off if it’s investment in the original build. Could NBN’s debt slow down our progress and see us lag behind the rest of the world?This week we talk to:- Stefaan Vanhastel, Director Product Marketing at Alcatel-Lucent- Kevin Bloch, Chief Technology Officer at Cisco- John DeRidder, Telecommunications Economist

The Attorney General (AG) has circulated draft legislation that will give the Government greater control over how networks are designed and maintained.The belief is that the commercial pressures of carriers and carriage service providers are at odds with the objectives of national security. The new Bill - Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 – would give new powers to the Government to remedy the issue.The AG’s department would provide administrative guidelines so carriers can understand what parts of their networks are vulnerable to unauthorised access and interference, so appropriate action can be taken. Carriers would also need to seek approval before making substantive changes to their network design.As you’ll hear in this week’s CrossTalk podcast, some in the industry believe it’s a step in the right direction. After all, why would anybody be against national security?The concern is, will the Government be so prescriptive the impact will be counterproductive, and costly for the industry.We hear from:- Patrick Fair, partner at law firm Baker & McKenzie- Matthew Lobb, General Manager Industry Strategy and Public Policy at Vodafone- George Fong, President of Internet Australia and- Mark Gregory, Senior Lecturer at RMIT University Add your comments by calling the CrossTalk feedback line - 02 9304 5198
