Dozens of flights canceled in the United States due to the launch of 5G by AT&T and Verizon

Emirates, Air India, Lufthansa, British Airways and Japan Airlines, among others, have canceled or changed flights to the United States. Some had already decided on the changes before Verizon and AT&T, pressured by US authorities, agreed to postpone the entry into service at certain airports.

Verizon and AT&T had delayed their launch in band C two times, but finally the start of benefits materialized yesterday. While AT&T turned on its 5G network in eight cities, Verizon focused on improving its fixed wireless service by combining C-band and mmWave spectrum.
