If a company wants to become a licensed carrier, they must submit an application to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and pay this charge.\n\n**Key points:**\n- **Who made it:** ACMA (Australia’s national communications regulator)\n- **What it does:** Fixes the application charge at exactly $2,500\n- **When it takes effect:** 1 July 2007\n- **What it replaces:** The Telecommunications (Carrier Licence Application Charge) Determination 2004\n\nThis is a straightforward fee-setting instrument. There are no exemptions, sliding scales, or hidden conditions—if you apply for a carrier licence, you pay $2,500."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-application-charge-determination-2007","history":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-application-charge-determination-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-application-charge-determination-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-application-charge-determination-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-application-charge-determination-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-application-charge-determination-2007/documents"}}
