What it does: This determination sets the dollar amount that telecommunications carriers must collectively pay to cover the regulator's costs for overseeing the industry in the 2006-2007 financial year.

The bottom line: The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has calculated that $23,058,238 of its operating costs were spent on telecom regulation during that period. This figure is used to calculate annual licence fees for phone and internet companies.

Why it matters: The Telecommunications (Carrier Licence Charges) Act 1997 requires carriers to pay fees that recover the costs of regulating them. This instrument officially declares the total bill for the 2006-2007 year.
