(A/Stable/A-1) from the National Broadband Network (NBN) request-for-proposal tender process would have no immediate effect on the Telstra ratings. Although this decision has the potential to weaken Telstra's business risk profile over time, the company enjoys significant financial flexibility to invest in competing technologies, and Telstra would be the largest potential user of any NBN. The near-term ratings focus will be on the outcomes of the NBN tender process and, importantly, any associated regulatory decisions that affect Telstra's ability to competitively position itself against the NBN.
