This story reminded me of the “astronomers-vs-Starlink” framing. Technological advances (global satellite internet, 5G connectivity) have great societal benefits and require changes in how scientists operate. How can we all work together to manage global common spaces?

This is obviously a really complex topic - 5G is going to benefit so many people all around the world, including letting them access weather forecasts to save lives and property. It's not “5G vs the weather community”. Not at all.

Did you hear how meteorologists were worried about 5G networks hurting #weather forecasts by interfering with satellite observations? Well, regulators just reached a final deal - and it's not good news for the weather world. https://www.nature.com/...
