Yep. I think it was ATT who said they can't believe more than 50 countries have worked this out, but the FAA hasn't yet.Somehow, this just does not surprise me. Sad

I heard on NBC this morning that some international carriers (sorry, don't remember which ones, but not US based) cancelled some flight to the US because of this. The reporter said it's an issue with transmitter power and the way the antennas are aimed. Supposedly in the US, the transmitters use higher power and the antennas are aimed toward the horizon (I'm guessing to get a wider coverage area) whereas in Europe(?) they do a lower power and aim the antennas more toward the ground.Yep.

Here's a statement by the president of Emirates saying the problems here in the US are the most irresponsible thing he's seen in his entire career: https://thehill.com/policy/transpor...ident-labels-5g-rollout-utterly-irresponsibleI heard on NBC this morning that some international carriers (sorry, don't remember which ones, but not US based) cancelled some flight to the US because of this.

This is it exactly. Our carriers won't angle their antennas or lower their power like other countries have done successfully. Everyone likes to spout off about "How come other countries can do it and we can't?", but therein is the problem. AT&T and Verizon AREN'T following the example of other countries.I heard on NBC this morning that some international carriers (sorry, don't remember which ones, but not US based) cancelled some flight to the US because of this.

And the FCC has power over both of them.This is it exactly. Our carriers won't angle their antennas or lower their power like other countries have done successfully.

Do you happen to have a source for this? The only information I've been able to find shows the US FCC limits power output to 16,400w in non-rural areas, where the UK FCC allows 30,000.This is it exactly.

That’s a pretty compelling argument, and I work on the other side of it.Here is the letter sent to the FCC signed by both AT&T and Verizon. I shouldn't be surprised but kind of am how all of the media companies start with the sky is falling in the past few days with one side of the story and don't show any interest in any other perspective.

Yes. On the FAA website.Do you happen to have a source for this? The only information I've been able to find shows the US FCC limits power output to 16,400w in non-rural areas, where the UK FCC allows 30,000.
Where did you see that please?Also a moot point as now it appears that all Boeing and Airbus products have been certified to operate without limitations again. The only passenger planes in the US that I can see aren't listed are the CRJs.
The FAA 5g page.Where did you see that please?
