Each day that gets us closer to this year’s Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona, Spain, also adds thousands of new confirmed coronavirus infections and tens of additional deaths. The virus might not be as deadly as the flu, but it’s still giving some of the leading players in tech a good reason to reconsider their presence at the world’s biggest mobile tech show. Every year MWC draws in tens of thousands of people from all over the world, who come to Barcelona to launch their newest mobile products, ink new partnerships, or witness these press events as they unfold. MWC 2020 will be the first edition that will be remembered for the significant absentees, companies that would otherwise deliver some of the show’s biggest announcements.
