The amount is added to their annual licence charges.\n\n**Why it matters:** The ITU is a United Nations agency that manages global radio spectrum, satellite orbits, and technical standards for telecommunications. Australian taxpayers fund the national membership contribution, and this legislation recovers a proportion of that cost from the carriers who commercially benefit from the ITU’s work.\n\n**Key detail:** The instrument operates under the *Telecommunications (Carrier Licence Charges) Act 1997* and simply specifies the dollar figure for the 2005 calendar year contribution."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2006","history":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2006/history","analysis":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2006/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2006/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2006/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2006/documents"}}
