    = Spectrum User Fees * (monthly number of increases) / (the number of establishment months)= A * (B / 12) / (12 / 12)
  • 2. The Spectrum User Fees of every year 
    = The sum of a monthly Spectrum User Fees = (A * (B / 12) / (12 / 12))+ (A * (B / 12) / (11 / 12)+ ••••• +(A * (B / 12) / (1 / 12))= (A * (B / 12))((12+11+ ••••• +2+1)/12)= A * B * (39/72) = A * B * (0.541667)
