The coronavirus outbreak is starting to disrupt big business get-togethers as major firms back out of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and the Singapore Air Show
BARCELONA - Japan’s largest wireless carrier, NTT Docomo, and Sony Corp on Monday became the latest companies to pull out of an international telecoms conference in Barcelona this month because of the coronavirus outbreak.
NTT and Sony join Amazon, South Korea’s LG Electronics, Swedish equipment maker Ericsson and U.S. chipmaker Nvidia, which have already said they will not attend this year’s event.Sources close to exhibitors told Reuters that if participants decide to cancel, they would have to bear the cost. The GSMA would only be liable if it calls off the whole conference.

More than two dozen countries are grappling with the virus, which has infected more than 330 people outside China.In 2019, some 6% of Mobile World Congress attendees were from China, GSMA’s post-congress report showed. Most were from Europe, around 64%, as were about 45% of the exhibitors.
