Airlines for America has filed an emergency petition asking the FCC to stop the January 5 rollout of new 5G service near airports. A delay was also requested by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and aviation regulators until studies can prove the signals won’t disrupt airplane instruments. Verizon and AT&T had said Sunday that they plan to move forward with the service. “Spectrum interference disputes typically involve simultaneous transmissions on the same frequencies. But radio altimeters do not operate on, or anywhere near, the C-Band frequencies,” wrote AT&T CEO John Stankey and Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg in a letter to Buttigieg and Stephen Dickson of the Federal Aviation Administration.
