>It does seem like an overreaction to me but there is a big difference in cell towers and satellite uplinks/downlinks
N.B. as far as I know, the portion of the C-band that's in question was allocated for satellite downlinks; uplinks were over 6GHz. With that in mind, there is indeed a Big Difference between a satellite in orbit radiating downwards, and a 5G beam forming installation on the ground potentially radiating upwards.
