Intel and Vivo pull from Mobile World Congress over virus
Intel and Vivo joined Ericsson, Amazon, Sony and LG in pulling out of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona February 24 to 27 due to virus concerns. The event attracted over 100000 visitors, including 5000 to 6000 from China, amid a viral outbreak that has infected tens of thousands and killed over 1000. The IEA said 2019 emissions were unchanged at 33 gigatons as renewables and cleaner energy offset rises in some regions. Air Italy will cease operations and liquidate after shareholders declined further investment, with 1200 jobs at stake and 30 routes affected.

Judge clears path for T-Mobile Sprint deal in high-stakes ruling
In New York federal court Judge Victor Marrero rejected claims that the 26.5 billion merger would raise prices, allowing T-Mobile to proceed toward closing as early as April 1. The ruling narrows the wireless market to three major players while Dish pledges a new 5G network, and remaining approvals proceed. NY AG Letitia James signaled possible appeal as consumer groups warn of higher bills.
