This is about money, the airlines want money from the telcos. The telcos paid off the Incumbent Earth Station operators to vacate the spectrum, now the airlines have their hand out because they are cash strapped after a pandemic lock down.

I have posted this a bunch of times https://www.rtca.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/SC-239-5G-In...

I have read this carefully, and run calcs myself, the issue they are raising is the phones on the plane. But even at full power, very unlikely, but read my other post on this for more details.

The real issue is that they want the telcos to pay them to swap out their radar but are asking for a large amount beyond what would be needed to do that.

they are asking for money, come on.

this is what is wrong with HN, you can downvote without talking, be standup. what are you arguing ?
