Another iconic MWC cornerstone company is out. I do wish GSMA would just move up their Friday plenary and put the rest of us out of our misery (or not). It's going to be ghost town at this rate. https://t.co/LAQvdikzgd

The impact here is on the city of Barcelona (hotels, venues, restaurants etc.) and travel budgets for companies and attendees (and what they may affect - airlines?). In terms of meetings and deals that would get done there, I think those can get re-scheduled pretty easily. https://t.co/p46sjPXY0l

In a statement confirming, the GSMA said that "global concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak, travel concern and other circumstances, make it impossible for the GSMA to hold the event". Cancel those hotel rooms quick.
