159: Lump sum payment

You could also call this:

"Paying a one-off fee for using radio frequencies"

Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

You need to pay a lump sum if you are an incumbent. The amount you pay is calculated using a formula: a × b. a is 1.5% of your gross income for 1991 from services that use your spectrum licence, and b is 4.87. If the Crown sells the management rights for the AMPS A Band frequencies before 1 January 1992, you pay the smaller amount of either the calculated amount or 50% of what the Crown gets for the management rights. The AMPS A Band frequencies are between 825.0150 MHz and 835.005 MHz, and between 870.0150 MHz and 880.005 MHz. You can find more information about this in section 157(1)(b) and section 155.
