In this week’s episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast, we explore the situation between Amazon and the U.S. Government as it relates to the award of the $10Bn JEDI cloud services contract for the Department of Defense to Microsoft.

All that and a whole lot more in this week’s episode — tune in (or read the transcript if you prefer) when you can.
