Over here at Japan, both ANA and JAL announced that they will temporarily suspend 777 services to the U.S. because of this. It is a radio altimeter used on 777 which uses the frequency very close to the frequency used by the 5G service. ANA and JAL will try to operate the U.S. service using 787 but some flights to the U.S. will be canceled.

So much for first class. Back to the 787's. Ugh.
