This figure becomes the basis for calculating annual licence fees paid by carriers such as Telstra, Optus, and other network operators.\n\n**Why it matters:** This is essentially a cost‑recovery notice. It tells the industry exactly how much they collectively paid to fund ACMA's work in overseeing network standards, consumer safeguards, and technical compliance during that year."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2007","history":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/telecommunications-costs-attributable-to-telecommunications-functions-and-powers-determination-2007/documents"}}
