The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that it took the steps after receiving details from the telecommunications companies about the location of wireless transmitters. The FAA said the data helped it to better map areas around airports where new new high-speed 5G service won't hinder the ability of planes to land during poor weather. https://libn.com/2022/01/28/faa-clears-verizon-and-att-to-turn-on-more-5g-cell-towers/ -- Bill Horne (remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)
