Statement by President Biden on 5G Agreement [telecom]

Show all headers | View raw

I want to thank Verizon and AT&T for agreeing to delay 5G deployment
around key airports and to continue working with the Department of
Transportation on safe 5G deployment at this limited set of
locations. This agreement will avoid potentially devastating
disruptions to passenger travel, cargo operations, and our economic
recovery, while allowing more than 90 percent of wireless tower
deployment to occur as scheduled. This agreement protects flight
safety and allows aviation operations to continue without significant
disruption and will bring more high-speed internet options to millions
of Americans. Expanding 5G and promoting competition in internet
service are critical priorities of mine, and tomorrow will be a
massive step in the right direction. My team has been engaging
non-stop with the wireless carriers, airlines, and aviation equipment
manufacturers to chart a path forward for 5G deployment and aviation
to safely co-exist - and, at my direction, they will continue to do so
until we close the remaining gap and reach a permanent, workable
solution around these key airports.
