Under the *Telecommunications (Carrier Licence Charges) Act 1997*, those charges are calculated based on the regulator’s actual costs. This Determination sets the cost ‘base’ for the 2003‑04 year, which directly affects how much each carrier had to pay that year.\n\n**In plain terms:** It is the official calculation of what the industry paid for being regulated in 2003‑04."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2005","history":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2005/documents"}}
