WHAT DOES FLAG FALL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Flagfall

Flagfall or flag fall is common Australian expression for a fixed start fee, especially in the haulage and railroad industry. From the Australian mobile phone industry, the expression has recently begun to spread to other English language countries, as business jargon for an initial fixed fee for establishing each phone call. The expression is also beginning to find its way into other businesses as a synonym to "start fee". The taxi expression is also being used in Hong Kong, New Zealand, and some other countries, but hasn't been used there as a general synonym for start fee.
