The exact change

Before

The 2026 edition is expected to attract approximately 100,000 attendees from 200 countries across four days, with a paid trade-visitor base of roughly 75,000 and a press accreditation pool exceeding 4,000 journalists.

After

MWC has recently drawn approximately 100,000-110,000 attendees from over 200 countries and territories across four days, with a press and analyst accreditation pool in the low thousands.

Suggested change

MWC has recently drawn approximately 100,000-110,000 attendees from over 200 countries and territories across four days, with a press and analyst accreditation pool in the low thousands.

Why this is better

2 issues fixed: MWC Barcelona attendance/press figures do not match actual GSMA-reported results. MWC26 (2026) closed with approximately 105,000 attendees from 207 countries/territories and roughly 2,600 accredited journalists/analysts; MWC25 (2025) drew 109,000 attendees from 205 countries. The article's '100,000 attendees from 200 countries...75,000 trade visitors...4,000 journalists' does not match either edition. | The 2024 Huawei stand at MWC was widely reported at roughly 9,000 square metres (plus additional two-storey and outdoor areas), not 4,500 square metres as stated.
