[July 09, 2009] Wider net cast for broadband board Tweet Jul 09, 2009 (The Sydney Morning Herald - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Seven directors are to be appointed for the entity to operate the new national broadband network, and the Australian Government has made informal approaches to telco sector identities for recommendations. An official search is also being handled by Egon Zehnder, although insiders say its initial shortlist was rejected as too narrow in focus. Some possible candidates being named are from outside the industry. Publication Date: 10 July 2009 EGON ZEHNDER INTERNATIONAL AUSTRALIA.
