These fees are calculated using a formula that subtracts estimated government grants from a total revenue target. \n\nHere, the Minister has fixed the estimated value of grants to be paid during the **2011-2012 financial year** at **$2,077,000**.\n\n**Why this matters:** This figure directly impacts carriers' final bills. If the grant estimate is higher, carriers pay less in licence fees; if it's lower, they pay more."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2012l00888","history":"/api/acts/f2012l00888/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2012l00888/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2012l00888/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2012l00888/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2012l00888/documents"}}
