Reasons to be happy #1 no zooming

It's the little things that make you happy, like being able to read the latest issue of Total Telecom+ on the  iPad without pinching and zooming.

That's right, we've being working on a refresh for our popular monthly analysis, Total Telecom+ with the big change being that it is specifically designed for reading on a tablet computer or a Smartphone.

To this end we have updated the Apps for Apple iOS and also for Android, but we've retained the eternally popular PDF.

Sorry, but if you were a fan of the online page turning replica magazine, it is no more!

So what are the big changes:

• first up pages you can read without needing to zoom
• an image on the front cover - making it easy to identify individual issues within an App
• greater focus on news analysis
• new infographic sections
• events calendar
• and for advertisers, new advertising positions

We hope you like the new look. Let us know your thoughts (info@totaltele.com)
