Dr. Coleman Bazelon Weighs in on What We Can Learn from the 5G Rollout in a Recent Brookings Institution Blog Post
Brattle Principal Dr. Coleman Bazelon was featured in a recent Brookings Institution blog post, “Hard landing: Why the 5G rollout was so contentious and what we can learn from it.” The post noted that, though the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC’s) C-band auction and the 5G wireless broadband service it enabled was successful, the 5G rollout was blemished by the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) delayed concerns about the possible flight interferences caused by 5G signals – concerns that, early on, should have been addressed by the Trump administration. Dr. Bazelon weighed in on lessons learned from the debacle.
