Ajit Pai and Tom Wheeler agree: The FAA is behaving badly in battle against FCC
Six former chairs of the Federal Communications Commission yesterday criticized the Federal Aviation Administration's fight against a new 5G rollout on spectrum that the FCC has studied and deemed safe to use. Republicans Ajit Pai and Michael Powell joined with Democrats Tom Wheeler, Mignon Clyburn, Julius Genachowski, and Michael Copps in writing a letter describing their concerns about how the FAA has tried to undermine public confidence in the FCC's decision-making process.

Sad when politics gets in the way of progress.
In the end the SWAMP will rule, money is first. How else do you explain politicians becoming multi-millionaires while in office? Nuf said.
Both agencies have functional and credibility issues. Many of them are legacy and many more related to more recent history. BUT, the real issues in this particular question are both technical and potentially life-threatening. They, therefore, need to be addressed by knowledgeable practitioners of the RF arts not the court of public opinion. As a veteran of both FAR battles and bandwidth wars, I have fairly high confidence a reasonable solution can be found, and a near certainty the optimum solution will not.
Sorry FCC, but I side with the FAA.
Follow the money.
When the money changers are in the church then no one is safe.
