Africa’s largest mobile operator, MTN, has succeeded in its bid to reduce a $5.2bn ÂŁ3.4bn) fine imposed by Nigerian authorities for failing to cut off unregistered users.

The government says it is concerned unregistered Sim cards are being used by criminal gangs.
The South African company has been in talks with authorities since October when the original fine was imposed.
It said on Thursday it had succeeded in reducing the fine by a third.
The original fine amounted to double MTN’s annual profits last year.

Did you know that the company behind the popular Candy Crush game spent $5.9Billion on the application? 😱😱😨😱
Hereâs Why the Company Behind Call of Duty Just Spent $5.9 Billion on Candy Crush
Activision Blizzard, which already owns many of the biggest franchises in PC and console gaming, wants to cement a leadership role in the mobile video game industry.
Late on Monday news broke that the publisher of franchises such as Call of Duty and World of Warcraft will purchase King Digital Entertainment, creator of Candy Crush Saga, for $5.9 billion.
The move strengthens Activisionâs position as the largest publisher in the interactive entertainment business.
âThe combined revenues and profits solidify our position as the largest, most profitable standalone company in interactive entertainment,â said Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick in a statement. âWith a combined global network of more than half a billion monthly active users, our potential to reach audiences around the world on the device of their choosing enables us to deliver great games to even bigger audiences than ever before.â
With the buyout, Activision is able to address one of its chief areas of weakness: mobile.
Although, it does so at a steep price. To put the $5.9 billion price tag in perspective, Amazon spent $1.1 billion for red-hot video game streaming site Twitch last August. Facebook paid just $2 billion for virtual reality leader Oculus in March 2014. And Disneyâs purchase of the Lucasfilm and the Star Warsfranchise in 2012 came at a nowseemingly bargain price of $4.05 billion.
Activisionâs franchisesâwhich also includes Destiny, Guitar Hero, andSkylandersâare strong. But Activision has been late to the mobile revolution and slow to embrace mobile gaming as the category has grown in size. (Mobile games, in the 12 months ending Sept. 2015, accounted for 19% of the total dollars spend on video game software, according to The NPD Group.) Rather than investing its own resources, the publisher has partnered with mobile-centric companies (including Tencent) to bring select franchises to mobile in emerging territories. In January, for instance, the two companies launched Call of Duty Online in China.
