There's more than enough FCC dysfunction. It's what happens when the deep pockets of <cough> industries <cough> come into play with political appointees. Safety?

I once had a friend who was a commercial pilot, and I asked him why they always made us turn off our cellphones, tablets, etc. in planes. I asked him just how much interference could a cellphone do?
He gave me the best answer I have heard so far - it wasn't the amount of interference ONE cellphone could do, it was the amount of interference A FEW HUNDRED cellphones - all stuffed into a metal tube - could do!
^This. One point though. More often than not what is called "interference" is actually "blocking". There is a significant difference in the mechanisms even though the results are similar.

Yes, I think that we are educated far beyond our intelligence.
Perhaps we are inventive beyond our intelligence. [emoji846]

The government got $80.9 billion dollars to license the frequencies for 5G. They have more than enough money to purchase radar altimeters for every aircraft that needs one that is safe to use 5G environments. But no, this isn't how *our* government works ...
The airlines and phone companies have enough money to purchase the same. EVERYONE is negotiating behind the scenes to see who is going to pay how much for what.
