I am sure you guys at GSMArena must be disappointed and happy at same time.
Disappointed because no device launch and no exciting news to put on and Happy because of less work load now.

Anonymous, 12 Feb 2020Well, they announced to take a quarantine period they consider sufficient without symptoms. An... more1. Prevention is better than cure. What happened and proven yesterday wouldn't necessarily be always the same for tomorrow. In this case for an extremely dangerous disease spreading uncontrollably across the world, it isn't easily predictible, hence the need for extra precautionary measures and practices to prevent the dissemination.
2. Do blame the region selling their products for altering almost everything on their products instead. It's no longer within their discretion as to what the admin and authorities in a specific country will do to their products. Huawei's poor aftersale service in US due to ban doesn't mean that their service is bad in general, as it is otherwise great in China and other countries.

GSMA wanted the Spain government to declare an emergency of health related issues so that the economic loss of cancellation will be fully covered by the insurance company, but the local government refused.

According to the most recent information from Spain, MWC 2020 will proceed as usual. (The organizer is not ready to accept the full cost of cancellation.)

Anonymous, 12 Feb 2020They should have shifted it to some other country. The hidden concern is, wherever the host was, there will be people flying in from all over the world into the event. Journalism, exhibitors, attendance are all from different part of the world.
It is better be safe than sorry.

Suddenly, they realized this thing called the "internet" exists and they can release products and presentations for free to an even bigger audience than a single presentation hall...

The investors care. They do business and exchange of information. Signing contract with multiple companies. The perfect place to do business since all the tech company around the world gather at one place. It's not just for show. That is just part of marketing.

Yes good idea, to cancel it, as it would make more people get it, and we don't want anymore people getting it, enough people is getting now, and I hope they all make a full recovery
