| ANNUAL VARIABLE SPECTRUM FEE |
| Annual variable spectrum fee payable = V x (2600/F) x B x T x L |
| Notes to formula: |
| Standard baseline value (V) is the baseline value of 1 MHz of spectrum at 2,600 MHz and is prescribed to be K 454 as at the Succession Date until 30 June 2011 and thereafter as adjusted annually on 1 July to reflect the change in the applicable Consumer Price Index for the preceding calendar year. The Minister, acting on advice from NICTA, may make a determination to adjust the value of V. |
| Frequency (F) is – a). for frequencies below 30 MHz, a value of 30; b). for frequencies between 30 MHz and 30,000 MHz, the midpoint in MHz of the band in NICTA’s frequency band plan in which the bandwidth sought to be licensed is located; and c). for frequencies above 30,000 MHz, a value of 30,000. |
| Bandwidth (B) is the total bandwidth in MHz the subject of the licence. |
| Type (T) represents the relative extent to which the service type licensed denies others access to spectrum being values as determined by NICTA in accordance with any guidelines issued under Section 6(7) , having regard to the type of radio-communications licence and the type of any station. |
