    Usually the Commnerce Commission goes through a consulting or engagement stage before setting down rules. That appears to have been done, so the mobile companies have 12 months to fix their maps.

      Is there a date set where they need to have them done by?

        There’s no specific date in the Commerce Commission notification, it just says 12 months from today. I’d read that as by September 5, 2025.
