Internet connectivity in the US is a hot-button issue in 2017, thanks to the new FCC chairman performing an about-face on issues like net neutrality, subsidizing access for the poor, and permitting internet service providers (ISPs) to do what they please with your data. None of it bodes well. This comes as the speeds in our tests remain relatively stagnant.

In a statement from CEO GSMA Limited John Hoffman, concern for the health and safety of participants was the deciding factor. “Since the first edition of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in 2006,” Hoffman said, “the GSMA has convened the industry, governments, ministers, policymakers, operators and industry leaders across the broader ecosystem. With due regard to the safe and healthy environment in Barcelona and the host country today, the GSMA has cancelled MWC Barcelona 2020 because the global concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak, travel concern and other circumstances, make it impossible for the GSMA to hold the event,” he said.
