OPERATING PERFORMANCE
WIRELINE TELEPHONY
Network
By the end of 4Q06, Brasil Telecoms plant had 10.4 million installed lines, of which 8.4 million were in service (Annex XV and XVI). The utilization rate reached 80.8%, a 0.9 p.p. increase as compared to the previous quarter. In comparison to 4Q05, the utilization rate decreased 7.8 p.p. due to the adoption by the Company as of 3Q06 of stricter measures in its collection and charging policy
398.2 thousand terminals which were blocked and were not generating revenue by the end of 3Q06 were the focus of the intensification of efforts in the collection and charging, mainly via call center and subcontracted collectors. During the 4Q06, the Company cancelled 119.2 thousand of those blocked terminals. By the end of this period, Brasil Telecom had 8,139.6 thousand active lines and 279.0 thousand blocked lines.
Fixed line ARPU reached R$73.5 in 4Q06, a 2.8% increase in comparison to the previous quarter.
TRAFFIC
In 4Q06, Brasil Telecom reached 2.1 billion billed pulses, a 5.1% reduction in comparison to 3Q06 (Annex XIV). This performance was impacted by fewer business days during the quarter, by the increase in the ADSL accesses and by the migration of fixed calls to mobile calls.
Long distance traffic increased 1.6% in comparison to 3Q06, thus Brasil Telecom registered 1.4 billion minutes in 4Q06 (Annex XIV). Such performance is explained by the increase in VC-2 and VC-3 minutes, due to a restructuring of its line of products and strategic partnership.

In 4Q06, BrT Mobile launched new plans and promotions and readjusted the Plans Empresa (Corporate) and Conta (Post-paid). The new plans offered by BrT Mobile seek to adjust to the new regulatory condition of the Full Bill. In the post-paid plan, the minutes included (franquia) is designated for intra-network calls only and the incoming calls from other operators are transformed in credits for the client to make extra-network calls in the following month. The new pre-paid plan increased the bonus limit that each client is entitled to receive, from R$30 to R$100, however these credits can only be used in intra-network calls. Readjustments were also made in the subscription and exceeding minute prices for other operators of the post-paid plans, the main generators of traffic for other mobile operators, in the Plans Empresa (Corporate) and Conta (Post-paid). Despite these readjustments, BrT Mobiles prices are still very competitive and lower than most of our peers.

At the end of December, BrT Mobiles subscriber base was composed of 993.8 thousand post-paid subscribers (29.4% of total subscribers).

On October 5, 2005, Brasil Telecom S.A. entered into a new loan agreement with BNDES, in the total amount of R$2,104.3 million. The proceeds will be used to finance investments in network infrastructure (voice, data and image) and information technology in order to meet the Universalization and Quality Targets established by Anatel and support the consolidation of the Company as a multi provider of telecom services. From the total loan amount, R$1,304.3 were financed directly from BNDES and R$800.0 million through an intermediation via a pool of banks. The loan matures in 7.5 years, with a grace period of 2.5 years. The cost is equivalent to TJLP +4.3% p.a. for approximately 95% of the loan (sub-credit A) and to TJLP +2.3% p.a. for the remaining part of the loan (sub-credit B), which will be used to finance national high-end technology equipment.
The first tranche of the loan, in the total amount of R$800.0 million, was disbursed on November 21 and 22, 2006. Approximately R$495.9 million were made available directly by BNDES and R$304.1 million via a pool of banks.
