Too lazy to google. So, 5G is causing planes to not work on top of causing COVID?

I'm just kidding about the COVID part.

It's not actually 5G itself, it's a new band that the cell phone companies are deploying 5G on. -- (edited) - ty97 Jan 19, 06:51 10

  - Sounds a lot like maybe the airline industry should be upgrading their stuff instead of whining. -- nm - sycor Jan 19, 07:19 6
    - The airplane manufacturers would have to provide an upgrade I figure and I'm not sure they have -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 07:22 5
      - (Also though why should the airlines have to incur all that cost for the benefit of the cell providers, ya know?) -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 07:23 4
        
        Why should the airlines be able to halt progress that can benefit everyone (faster cell service) instead of upgrading outdated equipment? - sycor Jan 19, 07:40 2
        
        *IS* is outdated though? -- nm - Andie Jan 19, 08:00 1
        
        Can't raelly. But from the article that was posted they do point out that newer planes will not have issues with the C band being used. -- (edited) - sycor Jan 19, 08:23
        
        They'll obviously need another bail out. -- nm - Qale Jan 19, 07:24
  - Fortunately, C-Band was never used for anything ever before. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 07:05
Plus controls the weather and wrote the screenplay to Glitter. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 19, 06:51 4

      - The soundtrack spawned a #2 hit for Mariah, so I can't be too mad at it. -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 07:00
