Hefty fine imposed on Crazy Frog

Good news, it should have been more though.

BBC said:

Hefty fine imposed on Crazy Frog Over 300 people complained about the service The service provider behind the Crazy Frog phone ringtone has been fined £40,000 by premium rate services regulator Icstis. It follows hundreds of complaints about the service as people ran up huge bills by unwittingly signing up to a subscription service. The watchdog has found the promotions were not clear enough in explaining the terms of the costs involved. It has ordered MBlox to refund the 338 people who complained to the regulator.

Good business then.

£12m turnover - £40K + initial outlay for rights.

Bet their christmas party was a good laugh.

Thats not a hefty fine, thats not even a slap on the wrist considering the amount of trade the "jamster" lot have done.

I'd swear that considering the amount of ads I was seeing on TV at one point that they were spending more than that dailly on TV advertising...

The fine is just laughable, hardly is going to break the bank.
