Organizers of the world’s biggest mobile
technology fair are pulling the plug over worries
about the viral outbreak from China.
The annual Mobile World Congress will no
longer be held as planned in Barcelona, Spain,
on Feb. 24-27.
“Global concern regarding the coronavirus
outbreak, travel concern and other
circumstances, make it impossible for the
GSMA to hold the event,” John Hoffman,
head of the GSMA organizing body, said in
a statement Wednesday.
