AT&T, Verizon to delay 5G rollout near certain airports

I think they are worried about 5G cell phones and other devices near or in the airport terminals interfering with the planes systems.
Just think if 50 or so kids and  adults are downloading Tik Tok or music videos using 5G and clogging up the 5G towers or something.

AT&T and Verizon on Tuesday each agreed to temporarily delay their 5G rollouts near certain airports amid concerns over possible flight disruptions.
The move follows mounting outside pressure and comes amid warnings from U.S. airlines that new 5G wireless service that was set to start Wednesday could ground flights and leave potentially thousands of Americans stranded while also delaying goods.

“At our sole discretion we have voluntarily agreed to temporarily defer turning on a limited number of towers around certain airport runways as we continue to work with the aviation industry and the [Federal Aviation Administration] FAA to provide further information about our 5G deployment, since they have not utilized the two years they’ve had to responsibly plan for this deployment,” an AT&T spokesperson said in a statement.

AT&T told The Hill in an email that it had "temporarily deferred turning on C-Band transmitters within a two-mile radius of the airport runways specified by the FAA," though the telecommunications giant did not disclose the affected airports.

They're saying that the airline industry is asking to keep certain types of cell towers away from airports so planes can land in severely inclement weather without worrying that their signal might be jammed, I think.
