AT&T and Verizon are going forward with plans to activate additional 5G cellular spectrum. The expansion follows a month-long delay at the request of the Federal Aviation Administration to study how 5G C-Band affects airplane safety equipment.
Reuters reports that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and FAA chief Steve Dickson sought out an additional two-week pause before carriers activated 5G C-Band spectrum. However, executives from both national carriers rejected the request to push back the January 5 activation date.
