This determination sets the overall \"pie\" of costs that gets sliced up among carriers each year."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-charges-act-1997-determination-under-section-15-1-b-no-1-of-2011","history":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-charges-act-1997-determination-under-section-15-1-b-no-1-of-2011/history","analysis":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-charges-act-1997-determination-under-section-15-1-b-no-1-of-2011/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-charges-act-1997-determination-under-section-15-1-b-no-1-of-2011/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-charges-act-1997-determination-under-section-15-1-b-no-1-of-2011/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/telecommunications-carrier-licence-charges-act-1997-determination-under-section-15-1-b-no-1-of-2011/documents"}}
