LONDON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Britain's biggest telecoms group
BT said on Wednesday it was pulling out of the Mobile
World Congress in Barcelona because of the coronavirus outbreak.
"After careful discussions and planning, BT have decided
that we will not attend GSMA Mobile World Congress Barcelona
2020," a spokesman said. "We value our participation in
important industry groups like GSMA and deeply respect the steps
they have already taken to protect attendees.
"Unfortunately, the most responsible decision is to withdraw
our participation from the event to safeguard our employees and
customers."
