Reports said on Tuesday that the GSMA will decide on Friday whether or not to cancel this year’s Mobile World Congress show. MWC is the biggest mobile trade show of the year, a place where the top names in tech unveil new devices and mobile innovations every year. But the coronavirus outbreak in China prompted many of the big companies that attend the show to withdraw, with more than a week left to go. Others followed on Wednesday, including Germany’s Deutsche Telekom and HMD Global, the company that makes and sells phones under the Nokia brand. Then, new reports emerged saying that the GSMA has already decided ahead of the Friday deadline. The organization supposedly wanted to cancel the whole thing, but it’s waiting on Barcelona to declare a health emergency first. Ultimately, the GSMA canceled the entire thing.
