The 5G Fiasco From An Airline Pilot’s Point Of View
The rollout of 5G wireless service across the United States and its impact on air travel has become a massive story. It seems beyond comprehension that possible complications with the high-speed data networking services wouldn't have been deconflicted for flight safety long ago, but with tens of billions of dollars invested in these networks...

Unfortunately, it looks like it will take a plane, on final, telling the pilot that it is at 100 ft, when it is really at 10 ft, and then........ . Who will get the blame then?
It's not just radar altimeters that are affected. Weather satellite data will also be degraded by 5G leakage into the the frequencies used to measure water vapor.
You've got to wonder--with tens of billions of dollars in licensing fees going to the FCC, a few million directed into the right pockets would have been chump change.

I have 5G and I hardly notice any difference. I wonder why we even needed it? Was it to force us to buy new phones?
I think it was.
I think it was.
depends what you are doing. ex: watching sports with 3D multi-angle view? 5G. Hi-rez movies on a portable device? 5G. Games on wireless? 5G. No need for browsing, email, etc.
hi rez on a 6 inch screen ? That's utter bullshit. Games? You only need low latency, not high speeds. 3d multi angle on a PHONE ? puleaze.... This is just a bragging race. LOOK AT US, WE GOT 245556433G
The difference between streaming 4k netflix on 4G LTE vs 5G is a matter of about 1 second of buffering. All of this is literally the avoid people having to wait even a single second for content to load on their phones. What a sad state of humanity.
