turned on a major new part of their 5G networks Wednesday, the culmination of a yearslong process that saw both carriers invest billions in spectrum and equipment to upgrade their networks.
The rollout brings to fruition major 5G investments from both carriers. Verizon spent $45.5 billion into secure the rights to the wavelengths it's using for its network. AT&T spent more than $23 billion. The carriers have since spent additional billions to actually build the networks and install equipment on cell towers.
The unique properties of these wavelengths led to their substantial price at auction, and they were often called the "Goldilocks band" in the industry because they are perfectly situated for 5G services. "We are frustrated by the FAA's inability to do what nearly 40 countries have done, which is to safely deploy 5G technology without disrupting aviation services, and we urge it do so in a timely manner," an AT&T spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday.
