Australia pays membership fees to participate, and this legislation allows the government to recover a proportion of those costs from the industry that directly benefits from the ITU's work. It's essentially a cost-recovery mechanism under the *Telecommunications (Carrier Licence Charges) Act 1997*."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2008","history":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-itu-budget-contribution-determination-2008/documents"}}
