The following formulae are applicable in determining the radio frequency spectrum licence fees:

Applied to all point-to-area services except for amateur, aeronautical and maritime with exclusive band allocations.

Fee = (UNIT * FREQ * BW * CG * GEO * SHR * ASTER * UNIBI * SEC)

The fee is the multiplication of the unit price (UNIT) by the frequency factor (FREQ), the bandwidth in MHz, the congestion factor (CG), the geographic factor (GEO), the sharing factor (SHR), the area sterilised factor (ASTER), the unidirectional factor (UNIBI) where this is applicable for point-to-area and the security factor (SEC);

(b)        Point-to-point formula for Links up to 50 GHz

Applied to all fixed links whether below or above 1 GHz. The formula is as follows:

Fee = (UNIT * FREQ * BW * CG * GEO *SHR * HOPMINI * UNIBI * SEC)

The fee is the multiplication of the unit price (UNIT) by the frequency factor (FREQ), the bandwidth (BW) in MHz, the congestion factor (CG), the geographic factor (GEO), the sharing factor (SHR), the minimum hop length (HOPMINI), the unidirectional factor (UNIBI) and the security factor (SEC);

The fee for a principle hub station for uplink is determined by the following fee:

Hub ground station Fee = Max (RUL; UNIT * BW)

The fee is the multiplication of the unit price (UNIT) by the bandwidth (BW) in MHz, and RUL is the minimum fee for satellite uplink connections; and

The fee for subordinate Very Small Aperture Station Terminal (VSAT) for uplink is determined by the following formula:

VSAT Fee = (UNIT * BW)

The fee is the multiplication of the unit price (UNIT) by the bandwidth (BW) in MHz.
