Why this is better
MWC Barcelona trade-visitor figure of 95,000 understates recent editions; GSMA-reported total attendance for MWC25 was 109,000 and MWC26 approximately 105,000. The figure should reflect total attendance being over 100,000 rather than 95,000 trade visitors specifically, avoiding an inconsistent number versus the site's other MWC article.
