These charges include a component to reimburse the ACCC for the costs of regulating the industry—such as monitoring competition, enforcing consumer protections, and overseeing network access. This instrument specifies the exact amount the ACCC spent on telecom regulation in 2011-12, which directly determines how much carriers are billed for that year's regulatory oversight."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2013l00524","history":"/api/acts/f2013l00524/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2013l00524/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2013l00524/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2013l00524/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2013l00524/documents"}}
