After putting out a firm statement rejecting requests from the Federal Aviation Administration to further delay activation of C-Band spectrum, AT&T and Verizon have abruptly changed course and agreed to a two-week delay.
Reuters reported that the operators have agreed to hold off on C-Band deployment for two weeks, with a new start date of Jan. 19. The news agency also reported that, according to a Transportation Department letter, the operators also won assurances that they would be able to begin service this month.
