(AP) — The superintendent of a Detroit-area school district has resigned amid protests over 5G wireless phone antennas near a school playground. There was applause Wednesday when the Wyandotte school board accepted the resignation of Catherine Cost, who had served for nearly 10 years. For weeks, some parents have vigorously objected to having the T-Mobile technology so close to kids at Washington Elementary School, citing health concerns. The district agreed to lease space on a chimney, though T-Mobile hasn't activated the antennas yet. https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/detroit-area-school-chief-quits-over-cell-tower-17883182.php -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies)

But cable company Charter Communications has some reservations about that. "Charter respectfully requests that the Commission defer acting on Samsung's petition until interested stakeholders have had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the results of Samsung's tests on whether and how its novel dual-band transmitter satisfies the CBRS out-of-band emissions (OOBE) and in-band emissions levels in each mode in which the Samsung base station can operate," the company told the FCC in a new filing. https://www.lightreading.com/5g-and-beyond/charter-throws-some-static-on-samsungs-cbrsc-band-radios/d/d-id/784228 -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies
