      yeah, right
      while other countries like South Korea and China have no issue with 5G bases
      so there must be something fishy

        A little Google research reveals the following -

        C-band allocated to 5G in EU : 3.3-3.8 GHz
        ... in USA : 3.3-4.2 GHz

        Aircraft radio altimeter frequency 4.2-4.4 GHz

        There's your problem.

                Honestly, this sets a really bad precedent: carriers can do anything they want and they dont care if they kill you in the process.

                  American 5G sucks. First mmwave that can't go through walls and now C-band that makes planes drop out of the sky. Pretty obvious now that they could never compete with Huawei 5G.

                    cause Boeing, instead if making a public statement, forces the airline to do its embarrassing tasks...

                      issue of course could occur only with boeing planes.

                        Are they sleeping the whole time?

                                🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

                                  I don't really understand how 5g works, but- why? Isn't the current 5g good? Like it's fast I get you want it to be faster but if it's risking interfering with airplanes that's just dumb

                                    Hah American 5G at it's best :D
