This Week in Mobile is a weekly podcast available on Apple iTunes or Google Play where I bring you up to speed on the top mobile news stories of the week: On Monday, the U.S. government announced that it will ban the sale of American technologies to ZTE, China's second-largest telecommunications equipment maker (including 45 million Android smartphones) with $17 billion in annual sales last year, behind Huawei. After the Federal Communications Commission decided to implicitly ban Huawei's telecom equipment in the U.S., Atherton Research wrote that the world's largest supplier of telecommunications gear (servers, routers, wireless, 4G...) will leave the U.S. market to focus its efforts and energy on Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America. App of the Week: Qwant Mobile (for iOS and Android) is a mobile Web browser that lets you search and browse the Web without being tracked. Joining me this week to discuss these top mobile news stories is tech veteran Eric Leandri, the co-founder and CEO of search-engine Qwant.
