	Australian Communications and Media Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Australian Communications and Media Authority is an Australian government agency whose main roles are to regulate broadcasting, radiocommunications and telecommunications, and to respresent Australian interests in international communications matters.
		ACMA is an independent Authority with a board of five members, but administratively is part of the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts (DCITA).
		ACMA works with the communications industry to achieve active self-regulation by industry and companies, while ensuring compliance with licence conditions, codes and standards.

		As a single regulatory body, the ACMA will also be better placed to respond to the outcomes of the statutory reviews of the digital television framework required in 2004 and 2005 under the Broadcasting Services Act 1992.
		The establishment of the ACMA will not be accompanied by changes to the existing regulatory and spectrum planning frameworks for telecommunications and broadcasting.
		The ACMA will be established by 1 July 2005, subject to the passage of enabling legislation through the Federal Parliament.

		Most major proposed changes in media and in communications get held up in the Senate; for example, the proposed changes to cross-media ownership laws and the full privatisation of Telstra.
		Broadcasters, therefore, are concerned that, when ACMA takes over, the approach currently taken by the ACA will prevail, and broadcasters will be forced to compete for spectrum in the open market against the big telcos.
		If ACMA's approach to administering those laws and regulations remains unchanged, however, there will not necessarily be any savings to industry in continuing to comply with them.
