Earlier today Amazon also confirmed it will not participate, while Nvidia and Ericsson dropped out last week. Of course, Nvidia and Amazon haven"t traditionally had huge presence but LG Sony and Ericsson"s absence will be felt.
The GSMA, on its part has announced further measures to limit the possibility of the spread of the virus and protect the health of attendees. It has imposed restrictions on people coming from China. However, if the list of companies canceling their attendance grows, the whole event might be in jeopady.
