Airlines threaten to ground planes over 5G C-Band go-live on January 19What you need to know
Airlines have effectively threatened to ground planes if 5G C-Band goes live on Wednesday.
Carriers have already said they won't enable masts around specific airports.
Airline CEOs have sent a letter asking for action to be taken before Wednesday's go-live.
A big old mess just got even messier.
Airlines are effectively threatening to ground planes if cellular carriers go ahead with plans to launch their 5G C-Band service on Wednesday as planned. The veiled threat was made in a letter seen by Reuters.

Now, with the go-live just hours away it seems that airlines are more concerned than ever despite carriers agreeing not to enable towers around a number of airports.
The full letter from airline CEOs, seemingly to anyone who will listen, is available in the tweet below....
