BT Group statement on Mobile World Congress attendance

After careful discussions and planning, BT has decided that we will not attend GSMA Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2020. 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.
