Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a ministerial order that fixes the expected government spending on telecommunications grants for the 2007-08 financial year at $742,679.

Under the Telecommunications (Carrier Licence Charges) Act 1997, telecom companies (carriers) must pay annual licence fees. These fees are calculated to help cover the cost of research and development grants paid out under the Telecommunications Act 1997. Each year, the Minister must issue a formal estimate of how much will be spent on these grants, and that dollar figure is plugged into the formula that works out each carrier's fees.

This document is that annual estimate for 2007-08, signed by the Minister. It directly affects how much telecom companies pay for their licences and ensures the grant program is funded.
