And yet bosses of major carriers are already talking about building something called "5.5G," or "5G Advanced." Carriers in China, South Korea, the United States, and Europe, properly got underway with launches of 5G networks in 2019. 5G Advanced, or the name for the next stage of 5G, is the next evolution of mobile networks. 5G advanced — 5G standalone, that's absolutely fine. Telcos haven't yet revealed how much more a 5G Advanced data plan will cost compared with 5G.

Jason Alden | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesBARCELONA — British telecommunications giant BT says it expects to launch its first so-called "standalone 5G" network in 2024. Howard Watson, BT's chief technology officer, told CNBC that the telco group plans to switch on its standalone 5G network, which is often referred to in the industry as "true" 5G, later this year. "We've already been ensuring that the SIM cards that our customers have in their current 5G devices can do 5G standalone," Watson added. 5G standalone is different from 5G Advanced, though. 5G standalone refers to the development of a 5G network that isn't being built on top of 4G cores.
