Mobile World Congress postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic

It's going to be another February without Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. 

The GSMA, the organization behind the Mobile World Congress (MWC), announced on Wednesday that this year's MWC Barcelona will take place between June 28 and July 1, 2021.
