Principle 2. All participating organisations pay an annual connection fee to cover central operating ex- penses. The annual connection fee is differentiated as follows: • Municipalities and regions pay an annual fee of DKK 19.2 million excluding VAT to SDN/VDX and KIH in 2023. The amount is evenly distributed among the parties and col- lected from the Ministry of Interior and Health through the budget account §16.55.01.70. • Private IT suppliers pay an annual and partially usage-dependent connection fee to SDN, based on semi-annual calculations of the actual average utilisation of SDN (aver- age of incoming and outgoing traffic from their SDN connection to SDN's hub): < 0.5 gigabytes per week: Free connection fee > 0.5 gigabytes per week: DKK 14,500 excluding VAT • Other SDN-connected parties, including government agencies and authorities, pay an annual fee of DKK 14,500 excluding VAT. • Government agencies and authorities also pay an annual fee of DKK 14,500 excluding VAT for connecting to VDX. • Greenland and the Faroe Islands pay an annual operational contribution of DKK 0.46 per inhabitant upon connection to SDN and VDX. Principle 3 Establishment of MPLS connection to SDN's hub via the SDN contract is directly financed by the participating party itself. Principle 4 The SDN connection of current VANS providers and xxxxxxx.xx is done without connection costs for the parties. Principle 5 The operation should be financially self-sustaining, and the utilisation of the collected funds is accounted for as a separate item in MedCom's audited financial statements. The determined connection fees are adjusted annually based on the officially announced price and wage adjustment rate. Additional adjustments can only be made through specific decisions by MedCom's steering group, taking into account the budget procedures of the parties. Date Versions history
