The UK's three other largest mobile networks - EE , Vodafone and Three - have either launched or confirmed plans to start rolling out their own networks this year. Mr Evans said O2 was "committed to launching 5G this year", and was "excited" to show customers the new experiences it can offer. He said mobile contract payment plans were currently too rigid and were preventing people from accessing the latest devices. "The mobile industry should offer greater flexibility to make the power of technology accessible for all," he said. According to the research, 81% said they felt trapped by fixed-term contracts for mobile technology, and 89% agree that operators should make monthly contracts payments more flexible.
