I don't know anything about the specifics of how things got to where they are, just an outsider watching this regulatory mishap unfold. That being said ...

It's quite interesting to me that the FAA may end up grounding planes rather than carriers delaying a rollout of 5G. This seems to say a lot about society and government priorities in the US.

(personally I don't know enough to make an informed value judgement here, but as a technology worker I'm biased toward preferring more and better internet at the cost of harming other sectors)
