Benedict Evans was quoted in an article analysing the possibility of Apple making a cheaper iPhone. “It could be a totally transformative product that would double iPhone unit sales and totally destroy the competition but add only 20 per cent to Apple’s profits,” he said.

“That’s the problem with the Apple valuation. They’ve already got a huge share of the [smartphone] industry. They can’t keep doubling sales. It’s relatively easy to see a ceiling on iPhone revenue that’s not that far away.”

An article on  the Competition Commission's provisional decision on the Guardian Media Group/Global Radio deal from last June cited research by Enders Analysis. It showed that Global 's acquisition of GMG Radio would give it around a 50% share of audience and revenues in the radio sector.

The deal represents the latest event in a wave of consolidation across UK radio, partly enabled by Ofcom's decision in 2010 to allow radio groups to merge local stations and scale back locally produced content. Thomas Joseph pointed out that it appears Global plans to extend its Heart brand beyond its current coverage area by syndicating its content across the former GMG stations.

In an article on the appointment of James Purnell to the position of Director, Strategy and Digital at the BBC, Claire Enders was quoted. “It’s kind of peddling back from the paring back of those layers of management,” she commented. “It is an indication that eliminating the deputy director-general and chief operating officer roles were a bit too much.”

James Barford was quoted in an article on BT's new smartphone app, "SmartTalk", which enables users to make calls on their smartphones using their landline tariff.

"The operators are generally worried about IP-based comms substituting for voice traffic," he said, "which includes email, social networking and texting apps as well as Skype et al, with total UK mobile minutes now in decline in part due to this, so I doubt the entry of BT and Virgin Media will make a big difference to the overall environment.”

Toby Syfret was interviewed on the Today Programme about the future for the television industry.

Claire Enders appeared on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme to discuss the implications of Al Jazeera's acquisition of Current TV.

An article on the difficult question of how press regulation could apply to the internet quoted Leo Watkins, who sounded an optimistic note. “You certainly couldn't compel websites to join, but membership of a regulatory system with its associated protections could be attractive for some, especially major news providers," he said.
