Getty Images Mobile data use has rocketed over the past five years – increasing 74 per cent alone in 2015 – taking the overall global figure to around 3.7 exabytes per month. Underpinning this explosion is the growth of streaming services, both audio and video, and people's growing use of apps – all underwritten by the expectation of having a high-speed data connection at all times, even when away from Wi-Fi. With 4G now entrenched as a global standard for our immediate future in developed markets, it is set to be usurped by 5G, but what does that mean for you? In short: faster speeds and more capacity, due to a more resilient network. How much faster is 5G compared to 4G? At first, 5G will likely average speeds of 100Mbps, which isn't a huge step up from the maximum for networks already using LTE-Advanced, which tend to deliver download speeds of between 30-50Mbps in real-world conditions. In lab conditions, the technology most widely in use today can handle up to a theoretic...

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's contentious domestic violence case has come to an end. The two stars reached a settlement Tuesday, with Heard dropping her request for a restraining order against the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star. Heard, who alleged in May that Depp had physically and emotionally abused her throughout their relationship, will receive $7 million from the actor in the settlement. “It’s settled,” a source close to Heard told the Daily News. “She got a great monetary settlement, but it’s not about money.” Another source said the haggling over the settlement stemmed from Depp refusing to admit to domestic violence. Following the resolution, which the insider said was reached Monday night, Depp and Heard released a carefully worded joint statement. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have reached a settlement.

Better think fast. Ellen DeGeneres has responded to accusations that a digitally altered image she tweeted on Monday of Usain Bolt was racist. The talk show host addressed the controversy Tuesday morning on Twitter. (Chris Pizzello/Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP) The picture in question features DeGeneres getting a piggyback from Bolt while he races to his semifinal win at the Olympics. The caption reads, “This is how I'm running errands from now on. #Rio2016.” Some Twitter users felt the image — a white woman riding on top of a black man — had racist undertones.

Diego Costa was lucky to escape a red card (Picture: Getty) Diego Costa was Chelsea’s match-winner last night but it could have been very different if not for some lenient refereeing. The Spanish striker scored an injury-time winner against the Hammers to give Antonio Conte a win on his first game at Stamford Bridge. However, the 27-year-old was lucky to still be on the pitch after he escaped a second yellow for a nasty challenge on West Ham goalkeeper Adrian. The 29-year-old was reeling after conceding a late goal and he took to Instagram today to aim a subtle dig at Costa after his compatriot’s challenge and accompanied his post with a sarcastic ‘fair play’ hashtag.

Riyad Mahrez admits he could be tempted by certain clubs to leave Leicester (Picture: Getty) Arsenal target Riyad Mahrez admits he would be tempted to leave Leicester City for ‘two or three clubs’ in world football. The Algerian has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates but Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri is desperate to hold onto the winger. The 25-year-old scored in the Champions’ opening day defeat to Hull City on Saturday but his body language did little to quash speculation that he wants to leave the Foxes. And the Algeria international has fueled further speculation by admitting he’d listen to offers from ‘two or three clubs’, as well as stating he’d like to stay in England. Wenger has remained coy over a move for Mahrez (Picture: Getty) ‘[The Premier League] is a super league and I would like to stay here as long as possible,’ said Mahrez. ‘Now, there are two or three clubs in the world, that if they come for me, it definitely makes you think, if you ...

Usain Bolt's bid for a triple-triple is on track track after winning his preliminary heat in the 200 meters on Tuesday. After winning a gold medal in the 100-meter dash for a third consecutive Olympics, Bolt has turned his focus to lowering his world record mark of 19.19 seconds in the 200-meters - his favorite race. On Tuesday, he powered out of the blocks and ran hard out of the curve before slowing down to win heat 9 in 20.28 seconds. As he raced into the straightaway, Bolt looked to his right not once but three times - each time finding not a single runner at his pace. So in an apparent attempt to save his energy for the bigger races, he slowed his pace to a jog mere yards from the finish line.

An Oklahoma man is accused of killing his Lebanese neighbor after tormenting his family for years and calling them “dirty Arabs.” Vernon Majors faces murder charges for the shooting of Khalid Jabara, 37, on Friday night, minutes after police had left the victim’s home in Tulsa. The Jabara family says that they have been targeted for years by their 61-year-old neighbor, who would called them “filthy Lebanese” and “Aye-rabs” as well as insulting Hispanic neighbors. Majors faces a trial on assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly running over Khalid’s mother Haifa Jabara with his car in September.

Vernon Majors, 61, is also accused of trying to kill Jabara's mother with his car last year. (Tulsa County Jail) Police were...

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania’s attorney general is resigning amid pressure from the governor and lawmakers a day after jurors found her guilty of abusing her power and lying to cover it up. Her office announced in a statement Tuesday that Kathleen Kane would resign at the end of the workday Wednesday. Kane’s exit completes a spectacular fall for the state’s highest-ranking female politician. She’s a former county prosecutor who soared to victory three years ago as an outsider. But the first woman and first Democrat elected to attorney general in Pennsylvania squandered her early popularity. Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane, escorted by members of her security team, prepares to leave the Montgomery County Courthouse and await a verdict Monday in Norristown, Pa. (Ed Hille/AP) Ultimately, the 50-year-old Kane was undone by what prosecutors portrayed as a personal vendetta for her critics. Now, she’s facing jail time and has had her law license suspended. ...

Former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida, on Tuesday said he regretted his inability to scrap the National Assembly or make its membership optional. Babangida, who spoke to journalists at his Uphill residence in Minna, Niger State, as part of activities marking his 75th birthday, said he would make amends if given another chance to act on the matter. The ex- President said making the National Assembly membership optional would reduce the cost of governance. He said, “During my public life, there were several decisions we took as military officers or as political officers (when I was a dictator) that if given another chance, I would do differently. For example, in 1989, we proposed that the National Assembly should be optional, that is part-time. “I still believe that if I had the opportunity, I would make the National Assembly part time. I believe in that very strongly and is parts of efforts to cut down the cost of governance in Nigeria.” Babangida said several people in Nig...

Charles Njoku is a Nigerian of South Eastern Origin who is running for a Public Office in Germany. We wish him all the best of luck with that, but wouldn’t it be much better to use all that expertise here in Nigeria?

A benefactor has promised a bonus of $30,000 to each Nigerian player should they win gold at the Rio 2016 men’s Olympic football tournament in Brazil. Celebrated Japanese plastic surgeon Katsuya Takasu announced his desire to reward the 1996 Olympic football champions, along with $20,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze after hearing about their financial woes. “I read about the financial problems affecting the team and I felt the need to make a big contribution,” Takasu told BBC Sport. “I am not doing this for media attention but to motivate a team with an indomitable spirit. I fell in love with the Nigerian team because despite all these problems they are in the quarter-finals of the Olympics. “Whether they win or not, I will still donate something to help alleviate the challenges in paying their bonuses and allowances.” The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) were impressed by this gesture but are being careful. “I have been in direct contact with Mr Takasu and impressed by his gest...
