AT&T, Verizon say they’ll delay 5G after airlines warn of risk
by Bloomberg Jan 03, 2022
AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. said they agreed to a two-week delay in rolling out a new 5G service that airlines said may interfere with aircraft electronics and pose a safety hazard.
The companies issued separate statements two days before their planned Jan. 5 launch, and one day after rebuffing a request for delay from U.S. transportation officials.
The action came after a flurry of calls on the industry and the White House from aviation groups seeking a delay.
