OPERATING PERFORMANCE

WIRELINE TELEPHONY

Network

By the end of 4Q06, Brasil Telecom’s 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.


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

At the end of 4Q06, Brasil Telecom reached a 62.9% market share in the interregional segment and a 36.6% market share in the international segment (quarterly average). By the end of December, Brasil Telecom’s quarterly average long distance market share reached 85.8% in the intra-regional segment, 0.4 p.p. superior than the 85.4% market share registered in 3Q06. In the interregional and international segments, Brasil Telecom increased its market share by 4.3 p.p. and 2.8 p.p., respectively, in 12 months. In the intra-sector segment, Brasil Telecom reached 90.7% market share.

MOBILE TELEPHONY


BrT Mobile reached 3,376.8 thousand mobile accesses in service (Annex XIX), a net addition of 325.8 thousand accesses in the quarter and 1,163.9 thousand accesses in 2006, surpassing by 76.8 thousand accesses the 3.3 million accesses target established for the end of 2006. At the end of 4Q06, BrT Mobile’s subscriber base was 10.7% higher than 3Q06 and had a 52.6% increase against 4Q05.

BrT Mobile’s market share in region II reached 12.1% by the end of 4Q06, 0.7 p.p. above 3Q06’s and 3.4 p.p. above 4Q05’s. BrT Mobile is in third place in terms of market share in in area 7 of the General Concession Plan (GO, TO, AC and RO) and in the Federal District (Annex XX).

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 Mobile’s prices are still very competitive and lower than most of our peers.

Throughout 4Q06, BrT Mobile increased its coverage to 819 localities. Currently, its coverage reaches 87% of Region II’s population.

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

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

REVENUE


Brasil Telecom’s total gross revenue amounted to R$4,001.9 million in 4Q06, 4.3% and 5.1% superior than the revenue registered in 3Q06 and 4Q05, respectively.

Gross revenue from local service reached R$1,722.5 million in 4Q06, a 0.7% reduction in comparison to 3Q06. The subscription and measured service revenues accounted for 70.4% and VC-1 calls accounted for 28.5% of the total revenue from local service (Annex IV).

In the fourth quarter, gross revenue from subscription fees totaled R$881.4 million, a 1.1% increase in comparison to R$871.6 million registered in 3Q06, explained by an average tariff readjustment of 8% in the alternative plans.

Gross revenue from measured service totaled R$332.1 million in the 4Q06, 5.2% inferior to the previous quarter, reflecting a 5.1% decrease in the exceeding pulses. In comparison to 4Q05, gross revenues from measured service decreased 12.2% , due to the traffic reduction of 11.6% .

Gross revenues with VC-1 calls reached R$490.5 million in 4Q06, 0.6% inferior than 3Q06. Despite a 1.0% increase in VC-1 traffic, the reduction in revenues is explained by the increase in volume of disputed calls in the period.

Brasil Telecom S.A.    Page 7 of 25

Interconnection revenue in 4Q06 amounted to R$113.9 million, a reduction of 5.1% and 23.2% in comparison to 3Q06 and 4Q05, respectively. The reduction in comparison to the previous quarter is due to the recovery of revenue related to the remuneration for network usage with another telephony operator in 3Q06, while the reduction in comparison to 4Q05 is explained by the interconnection tariff reduction which amounted to 19.1% in January 2006.


In 4Q06, gross revenue from data communications and other services reached R$649.7 million, a 5.4% increase as compared to the previous quarter and a 17.5% increase in comparison to 4Q05. ADSL revenues amounted to R$288.9 million, representing 44.5% of the total data communications revenues.

Brasil Telecom S.A.    Page 8 of 25
