You're listening to episode 790 of A Very Spatial Podcast, July 26, 2026. Hello and welcome to A Very Spatial Podcast. I'm Jesse. I'm Sue. I'm Barb.
And this is Frank. And this week we're going to be talking to someone from the ESRI UCI. I haven't decided which interview to go with yet, but it'll be in there. But first, some news. So Mozambique has unveiled a geospatial platform to accelerate their broadband coverage across their country.
It's pretty neat because it allows the public to view and compare all the mobile services availability, look for gaps. And it's an initiative to try to get 95% coverage by 2030 and 99% network availability by 2030. So this is pretty ambitious. Kind of like the broadband coverage Frank had to be involved with back in the day at the tech center.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (27 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
