Five years ago everyone knew that C band was coming. A reasonable
response would have been for the FAA to work with the FCC to figure
out which altimeters might be affected (old cruddy ones, we now know),
and come up with a plan and schedule to replace them. If the telcos
had to pay some of the costs, they would have grumbled but done it.
If the replacement schedule weren't done by now, they could live with
that, too, so long as there were a clear date when it'd be done.
Instead the FAA stuck their fingers in their ears and said no, nothing
can ever change, we can't hear you. Are you surprised the telecom
industry is fed up?
The US phased out leaded gas for everything but planes by 1996, and you
still can't get an STC stating you can use an alternative fuel for some
engines 24 years later.
