PRICING FORMULA FOR FREQUENCY SPECTRUM LICENSING FOR REGIONS USING BAND FACTOR PER ANNUM |
|||
|
|
The price of spectrum for a licensing region will be calculated using the following formula: |
|||
|
Spectrum Fee = (A) x (K) x (F) |
||||
|
|
Where |
|||
|
|
|
A = Spectrum Fee |
|
|
|
|
|
K = Costing based on Geographical Location Factor |
|
|
|
|
|
F = Costing based on Frequency Band Factor |
|
|
|
|
Licence Fee = Spectrum Fee + Cost of Radio Stations (C = B x NRS) |
|
||
|
|
For example: |
|||
|
|
Licence Fee = A x F x K + (B x NRS) |
|||
