MTN Nigeria Says it Supports New Government SIM Registration Rules
MTN, the multinational mobile telecommunications company, reassured its Nigerian investors on Wednesday that the country’s SIM registration rules will not have a huge impact on its finances.

MTN said that its Nigerian subsidiary has made good progress in registering...

Ookla places the most emphasis on the median speeds as those represent what most mo...
