Let me tell you something I can't stand when a person think they all that but be the main ones treating there children ask the way wrong that's when they act like my mom and become it's

Felt strange to airlines plead, 5G from inception to launch has been in news for long time, yet only till recent days airlines call out to cell carriers 'catastrophic disruptions' with it's 5G debut! do airlines not told of radius away from airports signals be banned till now?

Remember when Y2k Happened? Yeah, me neither.

its been fine in Europe, turn the 5G on already.

... unless there's a giant image of a '5G' somewhere that planes will have to fly around; I'd say.....deal with it. Faster speeds are the way of the future. 👍
