On 30 June 2009, the Commission released its draft report on the investigation.

The Commission’s draft recommendation is that the mobile termination access services should be made a designated access service.

Interested parties to the investigation have until 5.00pm on 28 July 2009 to submit on the draft report.

The Commission invites Telecom, Vodafone and 2degrees to submit revised undertakings of Schedule 3A of the Act by 5.00pm on 28 July 2009.
