obviously, parties involved have an interest in holding back LTE-U to make additional profit. instead of just giving in or ignoring them, i think the answer should be that those that oppose have to agree to pay an anti-competitive fine (and not contest the results) if lab testing shows LTE-U to not cause significant interference. the fine would be equivalent to the projected profits of holding back the technology during them time it takes multiple third party labs to do the testing and analysis. if they honestly think it will be a problem then they will pay for the test but if they a just full of it then they will refuse.

Equally though, you could say that the other parties involved have an interest in pressing ahead to make additional profit at the potential expense of the established technology in the 5GHz spectrum. Since that also includes every private user with a modern WiFi router and it would be impossible for there to be no interference, I'd be more inclined to wait and see just how bad it is before pressing ahead and damn the torpedos.
