The chief executives of AT&T (T.N) and Verizon Communications (VZ.N) rejected a request to delay the planned Jan. 5 introduction of new 5G wireless service over aviation safety concerns but offered to temporarily adopt new safeguards.

Nice of them to consider safeguards.

T-Mobile has had 5G stuff on the air for quite some time around me. It's worthless.

This argument appears to mostly revolve around 5G proximity to airports.

If the tinfoil crowd is right that 5G is going to light up everyone, I guess this is the one time where being close to an airport would be beneficial.

I’m close to an airport.

Eh, if you happen to be in range of the microwave stuff you get 1Gbit wireless akin to wifi that you don't have to login to. Otherwise, it's more about them more efficiently using their spectrum than it is for the consumer. The concerns about the health of it seem well founded. At least, not enough research was done to determine its safety.

Imagine how many towers they'll need to put up considering 5G only has like a 1000 foot range. These are being deployed because the wavelength used for 5g will allow high resolution 3D modeling in real time inside every building within range. This has already been proven possible using home wifi.

I have thousands of rounds of 22LR and a very quiet Henry rifle. I bet I win that competition.

It would be more beneficial to shoot the techs putting them up.

agreed 5g is super shitty . 1 wall and its power is cut in half

5G is collection of standards and can operate across different wavelengths. Low-band (500-700mhz) Mid-band (2500 mhz) and High-band (24-39GHz). Apparently the issue is with these new C mid-band frequencies (3700 mhz-4000 mhz) and not 5G in general.

The subtext on this is an intragovernmental fight between the FAA and FCC. I don't think the FAA's concern is well founded, but they have a good reputation for caution.

(((5G)))

Seriously, if you live near a (((5G))) tower put up Faraday cage wallpaper.

Well aren't they special. Capitalism at its finest.
