Telecom giants reject calls to halt 5G rollout - despite concerns it could interfere with aircraft electronicsAT&T and Verizon Communications have rejected calls by the US aviation authority to delay the introduction of 5G networks amid concerns they could interfere with aircraft.The 5G networks will be put in operation in America on January 5, as originally planned, the CEOs of the two major telecom companies announced. They dismissed requests made earlier by US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) chief Steve Dickson to halt the rollout, stating it would be “an irresponsible abdication of the operating control required to deploy world-class and globally competitive communications networks.”AT&T and Verizon Communications did agree not to deploy 5G networks in the immediate vicinity of airports for six months.
