Soon after the government announced the National Broadband Network (NBN) in April 2009, a new management team was appointed, led by the new CEO David Thodey. They immediately announced their support for the NBN and their willingness to work together with the government. The company also put their weight behind the trans-sector concept as that will be the avenue to generate new revenue. Negotiations were launched with the government investigating how Telstra could best participate, including taking a shareholding in NBN Co.
