US telecom giants AT&T and Verizon agree to temporarily defer turning on some wireless towers with 5G service near key airports –– a third such delay for the two companies
Telecom giants AT&T and Verizon say they will delay activating their 5G network on a"limited number of towers" near some airport runways following warnings from US airlines.
The decision from the telecommunication companies came on Tuesday as the Biden administration tried to broker a settlement between the telecom companies and the airlines over a rollout of a new 5G service, scheduled for Wednesday."We are launching our advanced 5G services everywhere else as planned with the temporary exception of this limited number of towers," said an AT&T spokesperson.
Verizon blamed airlines and the FAA, saying they “have not been able to fully resolve to navigate 5G around airports" although it is working in more than 40 countries.
