a joint letter that says honoring the request would be to the"detriment" of customers. The carriers tried to negotiate a compromise instead and told authorities that they're open to a six-month pause in deployment near some airports.
It's unclear what changed the companies' minds, but both have agreed to put a pause on their plans for now."We've agreed to a two-week delay which promises the certainty of bringing this nation our game-changing 5G network in January, delivered over America’s best and most reliable wireless network.""At Secretary Buttigieg's request, we have voluntarily agreed to one additional two-week delay of our deployment of C-Band 5G services.
