This puzzles:
US airline chiefs have warned that the introduction of a new 5G service could cause US commerce to “grind to a halt” due to possibly grounding a significant number of aircraft and might “strand tens of thousands of Americans overseas”.
Clearly something to do with the spectrum band being used. But, does the US use a different band? I would assume so, given that we’re not getting warnings over here of the same problem.
I also dimly recall that the US was going to use some different band. Summat about the military refusing to give up the one needed to plug into the global standard maybe? This leading to the fact that US 5G was always going to be more expensive as even the US isn’t a large enough market to support the tech development without a price surcharge.
Anyone know the full story here?
