At the end of the 2Q07, Brasil Telecom’s network had 8.1 million lines in service, 41.0% of which were clients from alternative plans. Following the strategy of segmenting the client base to guarantee universal access to telecom services and the profitability of the services rendered, Brasil Telecom has been launching new plans. In compliance with Anatel resolutions, the implementation of the conversion from pulses to minutes will be concluded by July 31, 2007.

Brasil Telecom offers its clients the Full Bill Plan (Plano Conta Completa), already adapted to the new minute-based charging system determined by Anatel, allowing clients to receive a detailed bill and identify the calls made. The Complete Bill Plan packages allow clients to choose the plan that best suits their consumption profile, with plan options ranging from 400 to 20,000 minutes in local calls to fixed lines, from 30 to 500 minutes in local calls to mobile lines, and from 30 to 120 minutes in long-distance calls.

Brasil Telecom had 3.3 million lines in alternative wireline telephony plans, 19.2% more than in the 2Q06, as a result of the company’s strategy to retain clients and cement client loyalty by offering specific plans according to the profile of each client. Alternative plans include minute plans and plans for fixed-to-fixed and fixed-to-mobile local calls.

Brasil Telecom also offers alternative long-distance call plans and had 682.7 clients at the end of the 2Q07, an increase of 62.1% on the 2Q06.

At the close of the 2Q07, Brasil Telecom had 7,901.5 thousand active lines and 227.9 thousand blocked lines.

Brasil Telecom recorded 499.7 million in billed minutes, 337.5% higher than the 114.2 million recorded in the 1Q07, chiefly due to the growing adherence to alternative plans.

Brasil Telecom recorded 1.2 billion billed pulses, down 15.1% on the 1Q07, due to the migration from billed pulses to billed minutes in the 2Q07. Compared to the same period the year before, the decline was 43.2%, due to: the increase in local plans, which generated higher subscriptions; the effect of the migration from pulses to minutes, which distributes traffic formerly measured only by pulses and that as of this year began to be measured also in minutes; the 25.9% increase in ADSL users; and the migration from fixed to mobile terminals

VC-1 traffic totaled 697.8 million, 0.8% higher than in the 1Q07 and in line with the 2Q06, despite the aggressive promotions for intra-network calls from the competing mobile operators.

Long-distance traffic fell 3.9% and 1.0% on the 1Q07 and the 2Q06, respectively. However, this decline was offset in the revenue line by the growth in the number of clients adhering to long-distance plans. In addition, there was also an increase in VC-2 and VC-3 traffic, as shown below in the comparisons with the previous quarter and with the same period of last year.


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 June 2007, BrT Mobile’s subscriber base was composed of 890.2 thousand postpaid subscribers (23.6% of total subscribers) and 2,878.3 thousand prepaid subscribers.

On June 30, Brasil Telecom identified and disconnected 181.3 thousand inactive users that did generate revenue for the company. Of the total removed in June 2007, 95.3 thousand were postpaid and 86.0 thousand were prepaid.

These non-recurring disconnections led to negative postpaid net additions. However, total net additions were positive by 130.5 thousand due to the high sales volume in the 2Q07, fueled by Mother’s Day.

Gross additions in the quarter reached 623.5 thousand, increases of 39.4% versus the 1Q07 and of 21.0% against 2Q06, respectively. The result reflects the success of the Mothers’ Day sales campaign, boosted by the “talk for free at night” (Fale de Graça à Noite) promotion, through which Brasil Telecom seeks to offer new benefits to customers without entailing new costs. In addition to attracting new users, BrT increases network usage at times when optimum-capacity is not achieved.

BrT Mobile’s market share in Region II came to 12.9% by the end of the 2Q07, in line with the figure for the 1Q07 and 2.2 p.p. above that in 2Q06. BrT Mobile remained in third place in terms of market share in the states of GO, TO, MT, AC and RO and the Federal District.

According to Anatel, BrT Mobile’s postpaid user market share in Region II was 15.4% in June, exceeding total user market share (12.9%) .

In the 2Q07, BrT Mobile covered 830 locations, serving 87% of the population in Region II.

DATA


Brasil Telecom added 69.9 thousand ADSL users to its network during the 2Q07, bringing ADSL users in service to 1,453.4 thousand by end June 2007, for growth of 5.1% and 25.9% over the 1Q07 and the 2Q06, respectively. ADSL penetration (ADSL/LIS) reached 17.9% in the 2Q07, versus 16.7% in the 1Q07 and 12.3% in the 2Q06.

The continued growth in ADSL services was sustained during the 2Q07, supported by the sale of quadruple-play packages in partnership with Sky and the expansion of the Turbo services portfolio, which employs ADSL 2+ technology and allows speed of up to 24 Mbps. Brasil Telecom has been investing in this technology over the past few years and it is already available in more than half of the 1,300 cities served by broadband, providing clients with access to new services, such as IPTV, which is already in a pilot commercial operation in the Federal District of Brasília, with the commercial launch expected in the coming months.

Brasil Telecom also recorded continued growth in other products in the data communications segment, such as: (i) Serviço Plus, a data transport service; (ii) Vetor, a private virtual network which uses all the capacity of IP connections to form a unique, complete and flexible network, used for data, multimedia and voice transmission; (iii) IP Corporate services, an Internet connectivity service for large companies; and (iv) Interlan, a solution to connect more than two points to a concentrating spot, transmitting voice and data.

Internet Group had 1.3 million broadband clients at the end of the 2Q07, up by 7.9% and 42.3% on the 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively. It is estimated that 64.1% of all broadband clients in Region II subscribe to iG or BrTurbo, positioning the company as the market leader in that region.

Internet Group also experienced an increase of 27.9% and 173.4% in the number of Value-Added Service clients over the 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively, reaching 0.6 million clients in the 2Q07. This upturn was led by products aimed at the residential market, especially: Protégé, an online anti-virus; Resolve, providing 24/7 technical telephone support; and Educa, a content product focused on family education.

The traffic generated by the 4 million dial-up clients came to 12.3 billion minutes in the 2Q07, 18.5% higher than in the same period a year ago. The market share in terms of minutes of iBest and iG in Region II reached 67.5% at the end of the 2Q07, positioning Internet Group as the market leader in the region.

Local service gross revenue reached R$1,634.4 million in the 2Q07, 0.8% lower than in the 1Q07. This smaller decline in local service was due to the increase in the number of clients in the local alternative plans offered by the company. Of the total local service revenue, 70.7% came from subscription and measured service revenue and 28.5% from local VC-1 calls.

Gross revenue from subscription fees totaled R$874.3 million, up 1.4% on the R$862.6 million recorded in the 1Q07, chiefly due to the migration of clients to alternative plans, offsetting the 1.7% reduction in average lines in service, which totaled 8,203.7 thousand in the 2T07, versus 8,347.8 thousand in the 1Q07.

Gross revenue from measured service totaled R$281.1 million in the 2Q07, down 7.1% on the previous quarter, chiefly due to the migration of clients to alternative plans. In comparison to 2Q06, gross revenues from measured service fell 16.3%, due to the 43.2% reduction in billed pulses, partially offset by the 377.5% increase in billed minutes.

Gross revenue from VC-1 calls was R$466.1 million in the 2Q07, in line with the figure recorded in the 1Q07, reflecting the stability in the number of VC-1 minutes.

Gross revenue from public telephony totaled R$140.4 million in the 2Q07, up 8.8% on the 1Q07 and 1.1% on the 2Q06. The increase over the 1Q07 was chiefly due to the 6.0% upturn in the number of credits sold in the 2Q07.

Gross revenue from LD calls reached R$727.6 million in the 2Q07, down 3.8% on the 1Q07, reflecting mainly the migration to the minute long distance alternative plans, pushing long-distance traffic down by 3.9% . The increase of 7.2% over the second quarter of the previous year was mainly due to the higher share of VC-2, VC-3 and international.

Interconnection revenue was R$82.4 million in the 2Q07, declining 3.0% and 17.4% over the 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively, chiefly due to the reduction in traffic and the 20% decline in TU-RL as of January 1st, 2007.

Fixed telephony ARPU (excluding data communications) reached R$77.9 in the 2Q07, in line with the previous quarter and up by 17.0% on the figure recorded in the 2Q06, reflecting the company’s strategy of hindering the decline of the revenue from fixed telephony. Including data communications, ARPU reached R$97.9 in the 2Q07, up 1.9% and 22.5% over the 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively, reflecting the accelerating growth in ADSL penetration.

In the 2Q07, gross revenue from data communication and other services of main activity totaled R$686.0 million, up 6.7% and 28.5% on the 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively. This increase was mainly attributable to the expansion in the ADSL client base, which grew 5.1% and 25.9% over the 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively.

ADSL ARPU was R$72.2 in the 2Q07, 1.3% and 6.8% higher than in the 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively, due to the strategy of prioritizing the sale of more profitable products with higher access speeds.

In the 2Q07, consolidated gross revenue from mobile telephony was 13.6% and 95.1% higher than in the 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively. The increase over the 2Q06 was due to the effect from the full bill and the growth in the base.

In the 2Q07, consolidated gross revenue from mobile telephony totaled R$511.5 million, R$428.8 million of which from services and R$82.7 million from the sale of handsets and accessories. Mobile telephony ARPU in the 2Q07 reached R$33.8. Postpaid ARPU totaled R$49.8 while prepaid ARPU came to R$28.3. Total ARPU edged up by 1.2% on the 1Q07.

Excluding the extraordinary disconnection of 181.3 thousand clients in June 2007, BrT Mobile ARPU would have been R$35.21, the highest among Brazilian mobile telephony operators in the 2Q07. Brasil Telecom’s consolidated net revenue came to R$2,743.3 million in the 2Q07, 2.0% higher than in the 1Q07 and 11.9% higher than in the 2Q06.

In the 2Q07, operating costs and expenses totaled R$2,392.7 million, in line with the R$2,383.9 million recorded in the 1Q07. The figures represents an increase of 3.9% over the R$2,303.3 million posted in 2Q06 as a result of higher interconnection expenses and provisions for doubtful accounts, partially offset by the reduction in manageable expenses, such as personnel, material, subcontracted services and advertising and marketing.

Graph 7: Operating Costs and Expenses Breakdown
(Excludes Depreciation and Amortization)


Personnel costs and expenses came to R$155.1 million, up 3.2% over the previous quarter and down 4.0% on the 2Q06. At the end of the 2Q07, a total of 5,868 people worked in the Group, edging up by a mere 0.5% over March 2007, with 5,258 workers in the fixed telephony segment and 610 at BrT Mobile.

Subcontracted service costs and expenses, excluding interconnection, advertising and marketing, totaled R$561.7 million in the 2Q07, in line with the figure for the previous quarter and 2.0% lower than in the 2Q06, driven by the company’s cost control strategy.

Interconnection costs reached R$570.4 million, down 1.1% on the 1Q07 and up 18.7% on the 2Q06. This elevation due to the expansion in the mobile telephony customer base and the implementation of the full bill, partially offset by the reduction of 20% in TU-RL as of January 1st, 2007 and the increase in BrT Mobile’s market share.

Advertising and marketing expenses totaled R$35.6 million, up 43.4% over the 1Q07 as a result of the intensification of campaigns, especially for Mother’s Day. In comparison to the previous year, these expenses dropped 15.8%, reflecting the optimization of expenses with advertisement and marketing as a result of the brand convergence.

The ratio between Losses on Accounts Receivable and gross revenue reached 2.8% in the 2Q07, bringing the total in the quarter to R$112.5 million, 0.3 p.p. up on the 2.5% recorded in the 1Q07 and 0.5 p.p. up on the 2.3% recorded in the 2Q06. This increase is explained by the recognition of a loss provision for large client accounts.

Provisions for contingencies totaled R$159.0 million, R$36.5 million and R$18.8 million higher than in the 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively, mainly due to tax lawsuits.

Material costs and expenses amounted to R$101.7 million in the 2Q07, 31.6% higher than in the 1Q07 due to higher handset sales, especially on Mother’s Day. Compared to the previous year BrT had savings of 3.3% . BrT Mobile’s material costs and expenses totaled R$78.8 million, representing 77.5% of the Group’s total material costs and expenses, given that the cost of goods sold is booked in this line.

Despite higher handset sales, SAC in the quarter was R$89.7, 8.3% lower than in the 1Q07 and 41.0% lower than in the 2Q06, reflecting the level of subsidies in the market and the optimization of expenses with advertising and marketing as a result of brand convergence.

Depreciation and amortization costs reached R$624.9 million in the 2Q07, down 3.7% and 6.6% on the 1Q07 and 2Q06, respectively, due to the increase in fully depreciated assets.

Other operating costs and expenses totaled R$71.7 million, down 42.7% on the previous quarter as a result of the booking of PIS/COFINS tax credits in the amount of R$26.5 million.

In the 2Q07, Brasil Telecom’s financial income was an expense of R$61.9 million. Excluding the effect of interest on equity credited in the 1Q07, this variation was positive by R$38.0 million due to the lower financial expenses as a result of: (i) the redemption of all outstanding debentures of the 4th issuance, being the third public issuance, of R$500 million and the respective decline in financial charges; (ii) an overall reduction in the cost of BNDES loans, given the reduction in the UMBNDES rate from 0.039398 in March 2007 to 0.036913 in June 2007; and (iii) the local-currency appreciation of 6.1%, impacting liabilities denominated in foreign currency.
