Notes:
1. For equipment operating on two or more bands with different frequency use charge rates, the frequency use charge for such equipment in the used entire band section shall be calculated at the rate applicable to the more frequently used band.
...
...
...
3. For foreign-invested units, charges shall be collected in proportion to the capital contribution percentages of the involved parties.
4. Some codes in the Table of charge and fee rates are understood as follows:
(1): Permit-granting fees are calculated for each radio transmitting or transmitting-receiving device.
(2): Permit-granting fees are calculated according to the transmitting capacity of the parent transmitter for a set consisting of a parent transmitter and affiliate transmitters.
(3): Permit-granting fees are calculated according to the largest transmitting capacity for a system.
(4): Permit-granting fees and frequency use charges are calculated for the service providers or operators in Vietnam; where there are no service providers or operators in Vietnam, permit-granting fees and frequency use charges shall be collected from users of individual phones.
(5): Permit-granting fees are calculated for service providers or operators in each province or centrally-run city.
(6): Permit-granting fees are calculated per ship or fishery means.
(7): The occupied bandwidth is calculated on the basis of the parameters of the transmitter granted the permit or inscribed in the permit.
...
...
...
(9): Frequency charges are calculated for operators in each province or centrally-run city in the allocated bands.
(10) Frequency charges for the mobile communication systems used in the band 2,500-2,690 MHz are calculated as at Point 1, Section XII.
(11): Trunk mobile communications:
- For those types of permit granted according to bands, the frequency use charges are calculated for each MHz of the allocated band (as a rule, one channel is equivalent to 25 KHz) and according to the unit being a province or centrally-run city.
- For those types of permit granted according to channels, the frequency use charges are calculated for each frequency channel according to the unit being a province or centrally-run city.
(12): Land satellite stations:
