They should move to 3G SIM cards on pay-as-you-go for a start

At the moment, O2 is just about the only operator who are not distributing new pay-as-you-go SIM cards with 3G support on them. All other operators SIM cards are now all 3G enabled (USIMs) by default, apart from Orange who supply them on request in their shops.

Surely this has been one of the factors that has prevented them from reaching their target set by Ofcom?

Also, O2 and Vodafone will soon be required to hand back their 2G 900Mhz licences that they were given for free initially, in return for setting up the original mobile network infrastructure. Are they dragging their feet on this?
