Mobile radio fair canceled due to virus worries
After the withdrawal of numerous exhibitors for fear of the corona virus, the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona has been canceled. The event, which was originally planned for February 24-27, does not take place due to the "worldwide concern about the outbreak of the corona virus", the organizer GSMA said on Wednesday evening.
In the past few days, the US online giant Amazon, the Japanese Sony group, Telekom and LG Electronics from South Korea, among others, had canceled their participation in the fair due to the health risk for everyone present due to the epidemic. The trade fair in Barcelona is usually one of the most important industry shows with more than 100,000 visitors and around 2,800 exhibitors from all over the world
