Airline CEOs warn 5G could leave thousands of travelers stranded and cause other havoc

CEOs from Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, FedEx, Jetblue, Southwest, United Airlines and others wrote to government officials to warn against the implementation of 5G near airports.

"We are writing with urgency to request that 5G be implemented everywhere in the country except within the approximate 2 miles of airport runways at affected airports as defined by the FAA on January 19, 2022," the letter says. "This will allow 5G to be deployed while avoiding harmful impacts on the aviation industry, traveling public, supply chain, vaccine distribution, our workforce and broader economy.

It continues, "We further ask that the FAA immediately identify those base stations closest to key airport runways that need to be addressed to ensure safety and avoid disruption in a manner that is narrowly focused and consistent with the agreement established on January 3, 2022." The letter also says that if immediate action isn’t taken, there could be significant disruption to both commercial air travelers and the shipping industry.

Perhaps the Trump administration’s FCC should have consulted with the FAA before allowing the auctioning the spectrum to AT&T and Verizon back in 2019.

5G Galaxy S22 Ultra tipped to arrive with 1TB storage optionIt looks more and more as though Samsung is bringing back the 1TB storage option on the Galaxy S22 Ultra model even while cutting the amount of RAM on the base unit. That would surely be an upgrade from my current S10+ 1TB. I skipped all Samsung releases awaiting for an upcoming 1TB device, and this hopefully would be it. 😁
