New rules on how operators can cut off your dormant Sim

South Africa's communications regulator Icasa has gazetted new numbering plan regulations requiring mobile operators to notify prepaid subscribers at least twice before deactivating a dormant SIM card. A number becomes inactive after 60 consecutive days without revenue-generating activity, triggering a 30-day grace period with mandatory reminders including one the day before deactivation. Post-paid subscribers are exempt. Deactivated numbers must be quarantined for one month before recycling, giving a total cycle of about 120 days. Subscribers travelling abroad can apply for a free 183-day retention exemption. Operators including MTN, Vodacom, and Cell C failed to change Icasa's position on fees or recycling timelines. Operators have a six-month transitional period, with full compliance required by early January 2027.

Meta’s new prediction market app Arena could bring betting to 3 billion users

Mark Zuckerberg has directed a small Meta team to build a prediction market app called Arena, which would initially use a points-based system rather than real money to sidestep CFTC oversight. The news sent shares of DraftKings, Flutter Entertainment, and Robinhood lower, reflecting the competitive threat Meta's 3 billion monthly active users pose to existing platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi. Arena would operate independently from Facebook and Instagram. Meta has not ruled out real-money betting in the future, which would require regulatory approval. The announcement comes as the CFTC is actively rewriting prediction market rules, and existing platforms are already grappling with insider trading scandals and monetization challenges.
