Looking for the real dirt behind all the salacious, earth-shaking news from the Cellular Telephone Industries Association's 2012 throwdown? You won't find it here, and that's only because you won't find it anywhere, because there wasn't any. What we can offer instead, though, is a recording of two men having a startlingly civil and even-tempered discussion about the issues such a dearth leaves in its wake. The men then take your questions, and it's an Engadget Podcast, the Grey Poupon of the technology podcasting community.
