These companies pay annual licence charges to the government.\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nThe estimated grant amount is used to calculate the annual licence fees that carriers must pay. Under the Telecommunications (Carrier Licence Charges) Act 1997, the Minister must set this estimate each year. The figure directly affects how much carriers contribute toward funding universal service obligations and telecommunications infrastructure programs."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2009l02078","history":"/api/acts/f2009l02078/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2009l02078/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2009l02078/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2009l02078/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2009l02078/documents"}}
