Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document sets the application fee for telecommunications carrier licences at $2,500.

A carrier licence is a permit that allows companies to own and operate telecommunications infrastructure in Australia—think phone networks, internet backbone cables, and mobile towers. If a company wants to become a licensed carrier, they must submit an application to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and pay this charge.

Key points:

Who made it: ACMA (Australia’s national communications regulator)
What it does: Fixes the application charge at exactly $2,500
When it takes effect: 1 July 2007
What it replaces: The Telecommunications (Carrier Licence Application Charge) Determination 2004

This is a straightforward fee-setting instrument. There are no exemptions, sliding scales, or hidden conditions—if you apply for a carrier licence, you pay $2,500.
