It's an interesting one - landlord disputes are nothing new, and this isn't so much a 5G-thing (contrary to the popular press) as an increase-in-site-rollout thing.

 

5G itself doesn't need more sites, but increased data usage requires capacity adds to existing sites, as well as increased site density. Planning refusals and landlord issues are possibly two of the more awkward issues that every MNO grapples with.

 

O2's speed of 5G rollout is a separate issue.

planning system needs to change so phone masts can't be blocked by people who complain about them for no reason

@bhaskarsamani - the whole purpose of the planning system is to ensure all are in agreement about any mast location.

Now delays in responses to planning requests by local authorities, well - that's a different matter.
