Verizon, AT&T agree to FAA's request for a two-week delay on 5G expansion plans

Instead, they will hold off after initially telling the FAA they would ignore the request.

“We also remain committed to the six-month protection zone mitigations we outlined in our letter.

But A4A said on Thursday that issues remained unresolved.

It could also delay the delivery of time-sensitive shipments of COVID-19 vaccines and tests.

It said the economic losses could amount to more than $1 billion.

A4A had asked the FCC to act on its emergency petition by noon ET on Jan. 3.

For now that plan comes off as on hold as the carriers agree to delay their roll out.

The court would just tell the FCC to go back and explain it better.”
