"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."

Sorry, T-Mobile's 2.5GHz mid-band network is not based on C-band (they only bought some for backup).
T-Mobile is likely laughing out loud at the C-band predicament that AT$T and Verizon are facing with the FAA. I'd hold off on flying for awhile. This won't get solved anytime soon.
AT&T and Verizon gave in and agreed to a 2 week delay on 5G rollout

We just need to grease some politican's wheels. The one who is really boned in this is T-Mobile as their entire 5Ghee network is based on that spectrum and they refused to delay or cooperate. They would have to stop selling. I think Verizon is like us and has two 5Ghee spectrum bands so we have something to sell.
Who has more power? FAA or FCC. That should tell you who will win this battle. Does T really want to die on this hill?
The government shouldn't have sold 5G spectrum that wasn't ready to be used, or at the least, disclose that the spectrum wasn't ready to be used until whenever, before it was sold.
It's on the government to outfit aircraft with new equipment that won't encounter interference with the use of the new spectrum.
