It is reported that before the GSMA announced the decision to cancel the MWC 2020 conference, TCL, Sony, LG, Ericsson, Samsung, Intel, vivo, Facebook, AT & T, Cisco, Sprint, Nokia successively withdrew from MWC 2020. Earlier, GSMA CEO John Huffman also said that the outbreak made the conference "impossible".

As the annual world's most well-known technology summit in the field of mobile communications, MWC attracts more than 100,000 visitors each year. It is estimated that the economic loss of the cancellation of the exhibition is estimated to be 492 million euros (about 3.72 billion yuan).

In response to this situation, the GSMA organisers thank Barcelona as host city for understanding and respecting the decision. Earlier, the WHO organization also called for personnel from various countries to remain calm in responding to the epidemic, but cancelling activities in special times is not a responsible choice. We can still look forward to the launch of MWC 2021.
