Between 1 September 2023 and 29 September 2023, the Data Communications Company (DCC) ran a consultation on a draft of the Network Evolution Transition and Migration Approach Document (NETMAD) which included proposed transitional arrangements of the DCC’s 4G Communications Hubs and Networks Programme (CH&N) service. It also sought views on the date for designation of the NETMAD.  The DCC concluded on this consultation on 3 November 2023.
