Brasil Telecom launched new plans and promotions, leading to an increase in wireline customer loyalty in this quarter. Brasil Telecom developed a new approach to wireline with the objective of increasing its value, which is translated into advertising campaigns portraying it as the “family telephone”. In addition, it perfected its client-retention procedures with the creation of two new offerings, the “Brasil Total” and “Brasil Total Negócios”, with packages including local and long-distance wireline telephony, smart services, mobile telephony and broadband.

In the 3Q07, Brasil Telecom had more than 3.5 million lines in alternative local wireline plans, up by 26.6% on the 3Q06 as a result of the strategy of approaching the market in an increasingly segmented manner, encouraging the adhesion to alternative plans. Pursuant to Anatel’s resolution, Brasil Telecom successfully completed the conversion from pulses to minutes on July 31, 2007 without negatively affecting the local wireline revenue due to the high adhesion of clients to alternative plans with billing in minutes similar to the previous model in pulses.

Among the alternative plans offered, the “Conta Completa” (“Full Bill”) stands out, having boosted the sales of alternative plans with a share of over 60% in the sales mix in the 3Q07. This plan allows clients to choose their minute package according to their usage profile for each kind of calls: local, long-distance and calls to mobiles.

The sales area focused on advanced wireline, which includes products such as PABX Virtual and PABX Virtual Net that obviate client investments and offer the functionalities of traditional PABX equipment like monthly services, underlining the success of Brasil Telecom’s strategy of offering high value-added services. This strategy was reinforced with the launch of VIP Report CNG (Non-Geographical Codes), featuring advanced reports for the management of products such as DDG 0800, thus strengthening customer loyalty even further.

Brasil Telecom also offers alternative long-distance plans and recorded 747,900 customers at the end of the 3Q07, up by 53.2% on the 3Q06.

At the end of the 3Q07, Brasil Telecom’s network comprised 10.4 million installed lines, 8.1 million of which in use, representing a utilization rate of 77.8% . Of this total, 7,862,100 were active and 202,100 were blocked.

The conversion of the charging system from pulses to minutes changed the traffic profile significantly as of this quarter. For comparison purposes and based on Brasil Telecom’s usage profile, the conversion factors for the basic residential, non-residential and alternative plans averaged 1.7, 1.5 and 4.0 minutes, respectively.

Note that the ongoing increase in the adhesion to alternative plans reduces excess traffic as clients tend to chose plans that are in line with their usage profile.

VC-1 traffic totaled 673.4 million minutes in the 3Q07, 6.7% down on the 3Q06, due to the substitution of wireline by mobile telephony.

Long-distance traffic fell by 3.1% compared to the 3Q06. However, this drop was partially offset by the increase in the number of clients who joined alternative and long-distance plans and the upturn in VC-2 and VC-3 traffic, due to strategic partnerships. These adhesions to alternative national long-distance plans were mainly focused on the “14 Simples” plan. The “14 Simples” plan offers a package of 30 minutes of long-distance national calls from wireline to wireline phones, at any time and to any city in Brazil at a very reasonable cost. The repositioning of CSP 14, highlighting the importance of voice in communicating feelings and bringing people closer, also helped encourage adhesions to alternative plans.

PS: The market shares hereby presented refer to Brasil Telecom’s concession area (Region II of the PGO – General Concession Plan).

In the 3Q07, Brasil Telecom maintained its leadership position, recording an average market share of 85.5% in the intra-regional segment and 90.2% in the intra-sector one. The company’s market share remained at 63.7% in the inter-regional segment and increased by 1.4 p.p. in the international segment to 37.4% .

Mobile telephony operations reached 4,023,800 users, or 255,300 net additions in the quarter. At the close, BrT Mobile’s client base was 31.9% larger than in the 3Q06, compared to a growth of 17.6% in the Brazilian market during the same period.

The mobile client base had 856,800 post-paid subscribers (21.3% of BrT Mobile’s clients) and 3,167,000 prepaid subscribers.

Gross additions totaled 642,700, 45.1% up on the 3Q06. The number of gross additions in the 3Q07 surpassed even the previous quarter, which is traditionally the second highest of the year due to the Mother’s Day. This result reflects the success of the plans and promotions offered by BrT Mobile and the increased point-of-sale capillarity.

The company created promotions to encourage intra-network traffic (on-net) or call reception, in order to generate interconnection revenue, including “Free calls to other operators”. The Father’s Day campaigns in the prepaid segment included “Free calls at night” and “Free calls from public phones”. In the post-paid segment, the promotion “Free calls on Sundays” was launched.

DATA

In the 3Q07, Brasil Telecom added 69,800 ADSL users, totaling 1,523,200 at the close of the quarter, up by 21.6% over the 3Q06. ADSL services continued to grow throughout the quarter, supported by the expansion of the Turbo services, with the launch of three new speeds – 2 mega, 4 mega and 8 mega - using ADSL 2+ technology, and the partnership with Sky. The new speeds aim to meet the demand for greater flexibility resulting from the development of new Web 2.0 typical tools available to users. ADSL (ADSL/LIS) penetration reached 18.9%, versus 14.5% in the 3Q06.

In the last few years, Brasil Telecom has been investing substantially in capillarity and the introduction of new and promising technologies in this segment, which resulted in ADSL coverage of 1,488 municipalities.

For Brasil Telecom, broadband networks are the main channels for offering its users new services including multimedia conference, VoIP, and data VPN.

Brasil Telecom currently offers broadband services via twisted pair with ADSL 2+ technology, which allows access speeds of up to 24Mbps, and is already introducing VDSL2, which allows speeds of up to 100Mbps. In addition, fiber-optic networks allowing speeds from 10Mbps to 1Gbps – which Brasil Telecom has so far only offered to the corporate segment via its Metro Ethernet network - will soon be available to home users and SMBs (small and medium enterprises).

In order to reflect this strategy in its communication, Brasil Telecom adopted a new positioning strategy for Turbo, which was now presented as “Turbo: the internet of those who want it all”.


Brasil Telecom S.A.		Page 9 of 28

In addition to the increase in the number of ADSL users, Brasil Telecom recorded ongoing growth in other products in the corporate data communication segment, especially those based on IP technology (Vetor – VPN IP MPLS and Corporate IP – dedicated internet access).

New IP-based data communication products were launched to meet the demands of small and medium businesses. The “IP Profissional” product was launched to meet internet access needs, offering exclusive differentials geared at e-commerce. With “VPN Empresas”, small and medium-sized companies can link their business units in a simple and safe manner, having Brasil Telecom as the sole service provider.

High value-added products, such as equipment rental and supervision, have also grown substantially. Video, Audio, and webcast are also offered as part of the portfolio of advanced services in a single platform (MultiConferências). This trend confirms the success of Brasil Telecom’s strategy of focusing on IP services and providing complete and convergent solutions.

Brasil Telecom was the first telephony company in Brazil to offer IPTV services. Launched in late September 2007, the product is called Videon and allows users to watch videos, access the Internet and play games online. Shortly, it will also allow them to communicate via chat or send SMS to mobile phones. Firstly, Videon will be offered in Brasília, through the company’s call center, but will soon be available in the main cities where Brasil Telecom operates.

Internet Service Providers

Internet Group, Brasil Telecom’s Internet unit comprising the activities of iG, iBest and BrTurbo, is Brazil’s second largest broadband provider, with 1.3 million clients, up by 34.4% on the same period last year. Considering iG and BrTurbo subscribers, the group maintained its leadership in the market of Region II.

At the end of the 3Q07, paying clients amounted to 2.0 million. In addition to broadband clients, the number of paying clients of Internet Group’s higher value-added services rose by 166.6% year-on-year, reaching 700,000. In this quarter, the main products were: (i) Educa, a family-education product, featuring hints for the university entrance exam, and online teachers, up by 21.5%; (ii) Aditivado, a dial-up product that allows faster speeds, up by 20.2%; and (iii) Protege, an online PC anti-virus product, up by 19.4% .

Internet Group has 3.6 million dial-up users and is the third leading portal in terms of audience, with over 10.6 million unique residential visitors per month. It generated 10.6 billion minutes of traffic in the 3Q07. The participation of iBest and iG’s minute market share in Region II stood at 64.9% at the end of the quarter, positioning Internet Group as the market leader in that region.

Brasil Telecom S.A.		Page 11 of 28

Local service gross revenue totaled R$1,624.5 million in the 3Q07, 6.4% down on the 3Q06. The quarter’s highlights were: the 2.7% increase in gross revenue from subscription fees due to the migration of clients to alternative plans and tariff increase of 2.14% for local services and 3.29% for VCs. To guarantee the transparency in the process of conversion from pulses to minutes, the tariffs previously used for the local wireline-wireline pulse and minute were maintained till September 30, 2007. However, this upturn was more than offset by the 24.9% decline in gross revenue from local traffic and a slide of 7.4% in VC-1 calls.

Gross revenue from public telephony stood at R$138.8 million, 2.4% up on the 3Q06 due to the increase of 2.14% in tariffs.

Gross revenue from long-distance services came to R$720.0 million, 8.1% up on the 3Q06, chiefly fueled by the increase in VC-2, VC-3 traffic and the tariff increase of 2.14% in long-distance services and 3.29% in VCs. Interconnection revenue amounted to R$82.5 million, 31.2% down on the R$ 120.0 million recorded in the 3Q06 chiefly due to lower traffic and the 20% reduction in TU-RL as of January 1, 2007.

Wireline ARPU (excluding data communications) totaled R$ 77.9, 9.1% up on the 3Q06, reflecting the company’s strategy of curbing the decline in wireline revenue. Including data communications, ARPU stood at R$ 97.9, 12.7% higher than in the 3Q06, thanks to growing ADSL user penetration.


Brasil Telecom S.A.		Page 12 of 28

Gross revenue from data communications and other services totaled R$ 704.9 million, 20.3% up on the 3Q06 chiefly due to the increase of 21.6% in the ADSL client base.

ADSL ARPU amounted to R$ 71.2, 1.4% up on the 3Q06 due to the strategy of prioritizing the sale of more profitable products with higher access speeds.

Consolidated mobile telephony gross revenue moved up 40.8% year-on-year due to the expansion of the client base and the launch of new service plans.

Consolidated mobile telephony gross revenue stood at R$ 539.6 million, R$ 478.8 million of which from services and R$60.8 million from the sale of handsets and accessories.

Provisions for contingencies stood at R$ 154.8 million, R$ 35.6 million up on the 3Q06, chiefly due to monetary restatement and the booking of increased provisions for civil, tax and labor dispute losses.

Material costs and expenses came to R$92.9 million, down by 7.2% on the 3Q06. BrT Mobile’s material costs and expenses amounted to R$ 69.8 million, representing 75.1% of the Group’s total material costs and expenses, since cost of goods sold is accounted for in this line.


Brasil Telecom S.A.		Page 16 of 28

Depreciation and amortization costs totaled R$ 606.4 million, 8.9% down on the 3Q06 due to fully depreciated items.

Other operating costs and expenses stood at R$ 158.0 million, 29.2% higher than in the 3Q06. This increase was driven by the booking of close to R$ 27 million in actuarial liabilities in the 3Q07 and the R$ 2.9 million negative adjustment of the company’s handset inventories to market value.

At the end of September 207, Brasil Telecom’s consolidated gross debt totaled R$ 4,008.8 million, 17.2% lower than in the same period the year before chiefly due to the amortization of debentures in the amount of R$ 500 million in April 2007 and the appreciation of the Brazilian Real, which reduced the debt denominated in foreign currency. In September, 83.7% of total debt was long-term.

Consolidated net debt came to R$ 2,199.5 million, 20.6% down on September 2006.

At the end of September 2007, the debt linked to the exchange rate variation, excluding hedge adjustments, totaled R$ 755.8 million, of which R$ 399.7 million in US Dollars, R$ 113.5 million in currency basket and R$ 242.6 million in Japanese Yen. On September 30, 2007, 45.3% of the debt linked to the exchange rate variation was hedged, resulting in a total exposure of 11.4% .
