Indirect Subsidiaries

On August 1, 2006, was approved by Brasil Telecom S.A.’s Board of Directors the corporate restructuring of its subsidiaries. This restructuring, whose purpose is to optimize the controlling structure through company reduction, concentration of similar activities and simplification of inter-company corporate interest, began in the second semester of 2006. The alterations carried out in the current year are mentioned in the comments on the Companies’ performance below, when applicable. The corporate alterations performed in 2006 and 2007, carried out based on the book values, did not have material effects in the cost structure.

f. Brasil Telecom Call Center S.A. ("BrT Call Center")

Formerly named as Santa Bárbara dos Pinhais S.A., the Company is already operating. Together with the change of its company name, decided in the shareholders meeting carried out on August 21, 2007, its social object has also been changed, and became call center service provisioning to third parties, including client services, active and receptive telemarketing, training, support, consulting services and similar activities, among others.

Change in the Management

During the third quarter of 2005, there were changes in the Company’s Board of Directors. The process of replacing the former managers, formerly related to the manager Opportunity, was litigious, according to various material facts published by the Companies during the 2005 and various lawsuits still in progress, filed by the former manager, aiming at retaking the Companies’ management.

Agreements as of April 28, 2005 under the Previous Management

On April 28, 2005, still under previous management, Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. and Brasil Telecom S.A. entered into various agreements involving the Opportunity Group and Telecom Italia (“April 28 Agreements”).

Among such agreements, Brasil Telecom S.A. and its subsidiary 14 Brasil Telecom Celular S.A. executed with TIM International N.V. (“TIMI”) and TIM Brasil Serviços e Participações S.A. (“TIMB”) an instrument named as “Merger Agreement” and a “Protocol” related thereto.

As mentioned in material facts published, the merger was forbidden by injunctions issued by the Brazilian and U.S. courts. It is also subject-matter of discussion under arbitration involving the controlling shareholders.

The current management of Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. and of Brasil Telecom S.A. understands that the Merger Agreement, the respective Protocol, and other April 28 agreements, which included the waiver and transaction in lawsuits involving the Companies, were entered into with conflict of interests, breaching the laws and the Bylaws of the Companies, and also, in opposition to shareholders’ agreements and without the necessary corporate approvals. In addition, the actual management deems that such agreements are contrary to the best interest of the Companies, especially regarding its mobile telephony business.

Referring to the “Merger Agreement” mentioned in this note, the subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. and BrT Celular started on March 15, 2006 arbitration against TII and TIM, with the purpose of annulling it. The Company released a material fact on this matter on March 16, 2006.

TIMI and TIMB sent to Brasil Telecom S.A. and BrT Celular a correspondence dated May 2, 2006, unilaterally terminating the referred “Merger Agreement”, reserving supposed right to indemnification for losses and damages, which is being dealt with in said arbitration. According to analyses of the Company’s legal advisors, the risk of losses referring to the supposed right to indemnification is remote and its amount is not possible to be measured. Also in May 2006, Telecom Italia International filed with Anatel and CADE, petitions requesting to file the operation related to the “Merger Agreement” due to lack of grounds.

2. PRESENTATION OF THE ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS

Preparation Criteria

The accounting statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, in compliance with the Brazilian corporate law, rules of the CVM - Comissão de Valores Imobiliários (Securities Commission) and rules applicable to telephony service concessionaires.

As the Company is registered with the SEC, it is subject to SEC’s standards, and it must prepare financial statements and other information by using criteria that comply with that agency’s requirements. To comply with these requirements and aiming at meeting the market’s information needs, the Company adopts, as a principle, the disclosure of information in both markets in their respective languages.

The notes to the financial statements are presented in thousands of reais, unless otherwise demonstrated. According to each situation, they present information related to the Company and the consolidated statements, identified as “PARENT COMPANY” and “CONSOLIDATED”, respectively. When the information is common to both situations, it is identified as “PARENT COMPANY AND CONSOLIDATED”.

The amounts of judicial deposits bound to the provisions for contingencies are presented in a deductive way from the liabilities established. Also referring to the form of presentation, this quarterly information considers the requirements determined by CVM Resolution 488/05, especially, the segregation of assets in current and non-current groups, as well as pertaining to the latter, the creation of intangible assets subgroup. For comparative effect, previous year balances have been reclassified.

The accounting estimates were based on objective and subjective factors, based on management’s judgment to determine the appropriate amount to be recorded in the financial statements. Significant items subject to these estimates and assumptions include the residual amount of the fixed assets, provisions for doubtful accounts, inventories and deferred income tax and social contribution, provision for contingencies, valuation of derivative instruments, and assets and liabilities related to benefits to employees. The settlement of transactions involving these estimates may result in different amounts due to the inaccuracy inherent to the process of determining these amounts. Management reviews its estimates and assumptions at least quarterly.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

The criteria mentioned in this note refer to the practices adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries that are included in the consolidated accounting statements.

a. Cash, Bank Accounts and High-Liquidity Investments: Financial investments are temporary high-liquidity investments, with immediate maturity. They are recorded at cost, plus income registered until the closing dates of the quarters presented, and do not exceed market value. Investment funds quotas are appreciated considering the quota values on the quarters closing dates.

Page: 14

---

b. Trade Accounts Receivable: Receivables from users of telecommunications services are recorded at the amount of the fee or the service on the date the service is rendered. Accounts receivable from services include credits for services rendered and not billed until the quarters closing date. Receivables resulting from sales of cell phones and accessories are recorded by the amount of sales made, at the moment in which the goods are delivered and accepted by the client. The criterion adopted for making the provisions for doubtful accounts takes into account the calculation of the actual percentage of losses incurred on each range of accounts receivable. Future losses on the current receivables balance are estimated based on these historic percentages, which include accounts coming due and also the portion of services rendered yet to be billed, thus composing the amount that could become a future loss, which is recorded as a provision.

c. Material Inventories: Stated at average acquisition cost, not exceeding replacement cost. Inventories are segregated into inventories for plant expansion and maintenance and goods inventories for resale, mainly composed of cell phones, accessories and electronic cards - chips. The inventories to be used in expansion are classified in property, plant and equipment (construction in progress), and inventories to be used in maintenance are classified as current and long-term assets, in accordance with the period in which they will be used, and the resale inventories are classified as current assets. Obsolete inventories are recorded as provisions for losses. With regard to cell phones and accessories, BrT Celular records adjustments, in the cases in which the acquisitions presented higher values conforming them to the realization value.

d. Investments: Investments in subsidiaries are assessed using the equity method of accounting. Goodwill is calculated based on the expectation of future results and its amortization is based on the expected realization/timing over an estimated period of not more than ten years. Other investments are recorded at acquisition cost, less provisions for losses, when applicable. The investments resulting from income tax incentives are recognized on the date of investment, and result in shares of companies with tax incentives or investment fund quotas. In the period between the investment date and receipt of shares or quotas of funds, they remain recognized in long-term assets. These investments are periodically valued and the result of the comparison between its original and market costs, when the latter is lower, results in the constitution of provisions for probable losses.

e. Property, Plant and Equipment: Stated at cost of acquisition and/or construction, less accumulated depreciation. Financial charges resulting from obligations for financing assets and construction in progress are capitalized.

The expenditures incurred, when they represent improvements (increase in installed capacity or useful life) are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to the profit and losses accounts, on an accrual basis.

Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method. Depreciation rates used are based on expected useful lives of the assets and in accordance with the standards of the Public Telecommunications Service. The main rates used are set forth in Note 28.

f. Intangible Assets: These mainly refer to licenses and rights to use software and regulatory licenses. The amortization of rights to use software is calculated by the straight-line method, for a five-year period and the regulatory licenses according to the terms determined by the regulatory agency. When benefits are not expected from a license or right connected to such asset, it is written off against the non-operating income.

g. Deferred Charges: Mainly refer to implementation and reorganization expenses. Amortization is calculated under the straight-line method, for a five-year term. When benefits are not expected from an asset, it is written off against non-operating income.

h. Income and Social Contribution Taxes: Corporate income and social contribution taxes are accounted for on an accrual basis. These taxes levied on temporary differences, tax losses and the social contribution negative basis are recorded under assets or liabilities, as applicable, according to the assumption of realization or future demand, within the parameters set forth in CVM Instruction 371/02.

i. Loans and Financing: These are restated by monetary and/or exchange variations and interest incurred until the quarter closing date. Equal restatement is applied to the guarantee contracts to hedge the debt.

j. Provisions for Contingencies: The contingency provisions are made based on a survey of the respective risks and they are quantified according to economic grounds and legal opinions on the contingency proceedings and facts known on the quarter closing date. The basis and nature of the provisions are described in Note 7.

Page: 15

---

k. Revenue Recognition: Revenues from services rendered are recognized when provided. Local and long distance calls are charged based on time measurement according to the legislation in force. Revenues from sales of payphone cards (Public Use Telephony - TUP), cell phones and accessories are recorded when delivered and accepted by the clients. For prepaid services linked to mobile telephony, the revenue is recognized in accordance with the utilization of services. Revenue is not recognized if there is a significant uncertainty in its realization.

l. Recognition of Expenses: Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis, considering their relation with revenue realization. Expenses related to future periods are deferred.

m. Financial Income (Expenses), Net: Financial income is recognized on an accrual basis and comprises interest earned on overdue accounts settled after the term, gains on financial investments and hedges. Financial expenses comprise interest incurred and other charges on loans, financing and other financial transactions.

Interest on shareholders’ equity, when credited, is included in the financial expenses balance, and for financial statement presentation purposes, the amounts are reversed to profit and loss accounts and reclassified as a deduction of retained earnings, in the shareholders’ equity.

n. Benefits to Employees: Private pension plans and other retirement benefits sponsored by the Company and its subsidiaries for their employees are managed under three Foundations. Contributions are determined on an actuarial basis, when applicable, and accounted for on an accrual basis. As of December 31, 2001, the subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. recorded its actuarial deficit on the balance sheet date against shareholders’ equity, excluding the corresponding tax effects. As from 2002, as new actuarial revaluations show the necessity for adjustments to the provision, they are recognized in the profit and loss accounts. Additional information relative to private pension plans is described in Note 6.

o. Profit Sharing: The provision for employees and management profit sharing is recognized on an accrual basis, being accounted as operating expense. The calculation of the amount, which is paid in the subsequent year after the provision is recognized, is based on the target program established with the labor union, by means of collective labor agreement, in accordance with Law 10,101/00 and the Company’s Bylaws.

p. Earnings or loss per share: Calculated based on the number of shares outstanding on the quarter closing date, which comprises the total number of shares issued, minus shares held in treasury.

4. RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS

Related parties transactions refer to operations of the Company with the subsidiaries Brasil Telecom S.A., Nova Tarrafa Participações Ltd. and Nova Tarrafa Inc.

Operations between related parties and the Company are carried out under regular market prices and conditions. The main transactions are:

5. MARKET VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS) AND RISK ANALISYS

The Company and its subsidiaries assessed the book value of its assets and liabilities as compared to market or realizable values (fair value), based on information available and evaluation methodologies applicable to each case. The interpretation of market data regarding the choice of methodologies requires considerable judgment and determination of estimates to achieve an amount considered adequate for each case. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not necessarily indicate the amounts, which can be obtained in the current market. The use of different assumptions for calculation of market value or fair value may have material effect on the obtained amounts. The selection of assets and liabilities presented in this note took place based on their materiality. Instruments whose values approximate their fair values, for example, cash, bank accounts and high-liquid investments, accounts receivable, assets and liabilities of taxes, pension funds, among others, and whose risk assessment is not significant, are not mentioned.

In accordance with their natures, the financial instruments may involve known or unknown risks, and the potential of such risks is important for the best judgment. Thus, there may be risks with or without guarantees, depending on circumstantial or legal aspects. Among the principal market risk factors which can affect the Company’s and the subsidiaries’ business are the following:

a. Credit Risk

The majority of services provided by the subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. are related to the Concession Agreement, and a significant portion of these services is subject to the determination of fees by the regulatory agency. The credit policy, in its turn, in case of telecommunications public services, is subject to legal standards established by the concession authority. The risk exists since Brasil Telecom S.A. and its subsidiaries may be subject to losses arising from the difficulty in receiving amounts billed to its clients. The consolidated default in the quarter was 2.23% (2.60% in 2006), taking into account the accounts receivable total losses in relation to gross revenue. By means of internal controls, the level of accounts receivable is constantly monitored, thus limiting the risk of past due accounts by cutting the access to the service (out phone traffic) if the bill is overdue for over 30 days. Exceptions are made for telephone services, which should be maintained for national security or defense.

Page: 17

---

The subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. operates in co-billing, concerning long distance calls with the use of its CSP (Operator Selection Code) originated by subscribers of other fixed and mobile telephony operators. The co-billing accounts receivable are managed by these operators, based on the operational agreements entered into with them and according to the rules set forth by ANATEL. The blocking rules set forth by the regulating agency are the same for the fixed and mobile telephony companies, which are co-billing suppliers. The Subsidiary separately controls receivables of this nature and maintains an allowance for losses that may occur, due to the risks of not receiving such amounts.

Regarding mobile telephony, the credit risk in cell phones sales and service rendering in the post-paid category is minimized with the adopt on of a credit pre-analysis. Still regarding to post-paid service, whose client base at the end of the quarter was 21.3% of the total portfolio (23.6% in 06/30/07), the accounts receivable are also monitored in order to limit the default rate and blocking the service (of phone traffic) when the bill is overdue for more than 15 days.

b. Exchange Rate Risk

Liabilities

The subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. has loans and financing contracted in foreign currency. The risk related to these liabilities arises from possible exchange rate fluctuations, which may increase these liabilities balances. Loans subject to this risk represent approximately 17.7% (18.3% on 06/30/07) of the total liabilities of consolidated loans and financing, minus the contracted hedge balances. In order to minimize this kind of risk, exchange hedge agreements are contracted with financial institutions. Of the debt installment consolidated in foreign currency, 52.4% (41.0% on 06/30/07) is covered by hedge operations in the exchange rate swap and dollar options mode and financial investments in foreign currency. Unrealized positive and negative effects in these operations are record against income as profit or loss.

Net exposure as per book and market values at the exchange rate risk prevailing is as follows:

CONSOLIDATED

	09/30/07		06/30/07
	Book Value	Market Value	Book Value	Market  Value
Liabilities
Loans & Financing	642,334	669,150	707,525	738,906
Hedge Contracts	380,389	379,869	425,941	425,778
Total	1,022,723	1,049,019	1,133,466	1,164,684
Current	197,019	196,938	207,917	208,893
Long-term	825,704	852,081	925,549	955,791

The method used for calculating the market value (fair value) of swap instruments was future cash flows associated to each instrument contracted, discounted at market rates in force on the closing date of the quarter. For securities negotiable in organized markets, the market (fair) value is equivalent to the value of the last closing quotation available on the closing date of the quarter multiplied by the number of securities in circulation. For contracts in which the current contracting conditions are similar to those in which they have been originated, or that do not present parameters for quotation or contracting, market values are equal to accounting values.

c. Interest Rate Risk

Assets

Consolidated assets result from loans remunerated by rates mentioned below, as well as Bank Deposit Certificates (CDBs) with Banco de Brasília S.A. related to the guarantee to credit benefit granted by the Federal District Government under a program called Programa de Promoção do Desenvolvimento Econômico e Sustentável do Distrito Federal – PRO-DF, (Program to Promote the Economic and Sustained Development of the Federal District), and the remuneration of these securities is equivalent to 95% of the SELIC rate.

CONSOLIDATED

	Book and Market Value
	09/30/07	06/30/07
Assets
Loans (Includes Debentures)
Loans Subject to IGP-M, Column 27 (FGV) and IGP-DI	8,015	8,068
Securities subject to:
SELIC rate	3,604	3,510
Total	11,619	11,578
Current	1,638	1,426
Long-term	9,981	10,152

The book values are equal to market values, as the current contracting conditions for these types of financial instruments are similar to the ones in which those come from or do not present parameters for quotation or contracting.

Liabilities

The subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. has loans and financing contracted in local currency subject to interest rates bound to indexing units (TJLP, UMBNDES, CDI and IGP-DI). The inherent risk in these liabilities arises from possible variations in these rates. The Subsidiary has contracted derivative hedge contracts to 5.3% (9.3% on 06/30/07) of the liabilities subject to the UMBNDES rate, using exchange rate swap contracts. However, the other market rates are continually monitored to evaluate the need to contract instruments to protect against the variation of these rates. The positive or negative effects unrealized in these operations are recorded in results as gain or loss.

Page: 19

---

In addition to loans and financing, the Controlled Company issued public debentures, non-convertible or exchangeable with shares. This liability has been contracted at interest rate bound to CDI and the risk arises in function of eventual rate increase.

The above mentioned liabilities on the balance sheet closing date are as follows:

CONSOLIDATED

	09/30/07		06/30/07
	Book Value	Market Value	Book Value	Market Value
Liabilities
Loans subject to TJLP	1,690,270	1,701,589	1,875,550	1,889,550
Debentures - CDI	1,121,195	1,120,746	1,089,622	1,089,622
Loans subject to UMBNDES	113,524	113,649	134,695	134,747
Hedge agreements on UMBNDES	6,821	6,781	12,436	12,276
Loans subject to IGP-DI	25,546	25,546	25,255	25,255
Other Loans (Fixed Rate)	28,790	28,790	31,942	31,942
Total	2,986,146	2,997,101	3,169,500	3,183,392
Current	457,425	461,638	574,705	579,999
Long-term	2,528,721	2,535,463	2,594,795	2,603,393

The method used for calculating the market value (fair value) of swap instruments was future cash flows associated to each instrument contracted, discounted at market rates in force on the closing date of the quarter. For securities negotiable in organized markets, the market (fair) value is equivalent to the value of the last closing quotation available on the closing date of the quarter multiplied by the number of securities in circulation. For contracts in which the current contracting conditions are similar to those in which they have been originated, or that do not present parameters for quotation or contracting, market values are equal to accounting values.

d. Risk of Not Binding Monetary Restatement Indexes of Loans and Financing to Accounts Receivable

Loan and financing rates contracted by the subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. are not bound to amounts of accounts receivable. Thus, a risk exists, since telephony fees adjustments do not necessarily follow increases in local interest rates, which affect the Subsidiary’s debts.

e. Contingency Risks

Contingency risks are assessed according to loss hypotheses, as probable, possible or remote. Contingencies considered probable risks are recorded as liabilities. Details of these risks are presented in Note 7.

f. Risks Related to Investments

The Company has investments, which are assessed through the equity method of accounting and the acquisition cost. Brasil Telecom S.A., Nova Tarrafa Participações Ltd. And Nova Tarrafa Inc. are subsidiaries, whose investments are assessed by the equity accounting.

Investments assessed at cost are immaterial in relation to total assets. Their associated risks would not cause significant impacts on the results of the Company in case of substantial loss.

Page: 20

The amounts related to the investments are as follows:

	09/30/07		06/30/07
	Book Value	Market Value	Book Value	Market Value
Investments	3,984,256	10,246,168	3,849,873	10,144,015
Interests in Subsidiaries	3,976,089	10,238,001	3,841,782	10,135,924
With Stock Exchange Quotation	3,954,218	10,216,130	3,816,891	10,111,033
Without Stock Exchange Quotation	21,871	21,871	24,891	24,891
Other Investments	8,167	8,167	8,091	8,091

The Stock Exchange quotation investment refers to the interest in Brasil Telecom S.A. and its market value was evaluated based on the market quotation used in the negotiation between minority shareholders.

g. Financial Investment Risks

The company has temporary high-liquidity investments, in domestic currency, in financial investment funds (FIFs), and investments in its own portfolio of (based on post-fixed rates) private securities issued by first-tier financial institutions (CDBs). The FIFs portfolios are comprised of federal bonds (based on post-fixed, pre-fixed and foreign exchange rates) and CDBs issued by first-tier financial institutions (based on post-fixed rates). Funds may carry out non-leveraged derivative operations, aiming at protecting their portfolios and complying with the purposes established in their respective investment policies. The exposure to market risks is monitored everyday by the VaR (Value at Risk) methodology, which expresses the loss risk quantification in these investments.

The temporary high-liquidity investments, in foreign currency, are represented by overnight operations backed by securities issued by foreign financial institutions, with low credit risk.

The short-term investments, rated as temporary investments, are represented by investments in securities issued by the Republic of Austria, with remuneration bound to CDI.

The investments in CDBs and overnight operations are subject to credit risk of the financial institutions. Investments in foreign currency are subject to exchange rate risk.

The balances of financial investments and short-term investments - temporary investments - are shown in Notes 17 and 18, respectively.

h. Risk of Early Maturity of Loans and Financing

Liabilities resulting from financing, mentioned in note 36, concerning agreements of BNDES, public debentures and most of them referring to financial institutions, have clauses that estimate the early maturity of liabilities or retention of amounts pegged to debt covenants, in the cases in which certain levels for certain indicators are not reached, such as ratios of indebtedness, liquidity, cash generation and others.

For the financing agreements maintained with BNDES, the Company must comply with a set of financial ratios and in the event of non-compliance with some of these ratios, the Bank is allowed to request the temporary block of amounts, given as guarantee in a blocked account. . All indicators set forth in agreements are being complied with, thus there are no sanctions or penalties set forth in the agreement clauses entered into upon the Company.

i. Regulatory Risks

New Concession Agrements

Page: 21

---

New Local and domestic long distance concession agreements were entered into by Brasil Telecom S.A. with Anatel, which took effect between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2025. These new concession agreements, which provide for reviews on a five-year basis, in general have a higher intervention level in the management of the businesses and several provisions defending the consumer’s interest, as noticed by the regulation body. The main highlights are:

• The burden of the concession defined as 2% of the net revenue from taxes, calculated every two years, started in 2006 fiscal year, whose initial payment took place on April 30, 2007 and then successively until the end of the concession. This calculation method, concerning accrual, corresponds to 1% for each fiscal year;
  
• The definition of new universalization targets, particularly AICE – Special Class Individual Access, of mandatory and progressive offer and the Telecommunications Service Centers - PST, with full burden for the Concessionaire;
• The possibility of the Regulating Agency imposing alternative plans of mandatory offer;
• The introduction of Regulating Agency’s right to intervene and modify agreements of the concessionaire with third parties;
• The inclusion of assets of the parent company, subsidiary, affiliated companies and third parties, indispensable to the concession, as reversible assets;
• The creation of the users’ board in each concession.

Interconnection tariffs are defined as a percentage public local and domestic long distance tariff until the effective implementation of cost model by service/modality, estimated for 2008, as defined in the Regulation for Separation and Accounting Allocation (Resolution 396/05).

The amendment to the tariff method applicable to the STFC Basic Plan in the Local Modality Rendered under Public Scheme (PBS) – Conversion from Pulses to Minutes, and the implementation of the Alternative Service Plan of the Mandatory Offer (PASOO) shall be concluded in all areas of operations of the Company up to July 31, 2007, in compliance with the regulatory requirements defined by ANATEL set forth in Rules 423/05, 432/06 and 450/06This change enables the clients selecting one of two service plans of mandatory offer (PBS and PASOO), as well as exercising the right of requesting details on their local calls in the telephone bills.

The Bill of the Senate (PLS) 103/2007 and the Bill 1,481/2007, under priority progress, to amend Law 9,394/96 and Law 9,998/00, provide for the access to information digital networks in educational institutions and enable the use of funds raised by FUST by all the telecommunication operators, or even on a decentralized basis, by means of agreements of the federal government with other states. On the date of the preparation of this quarterly information is not possible to assess the future impacts of these Bills under process on Brasil Telecom S.A.’s results.

Overlapping of Licenses

When Brasil Telecom S.A. received the certification for achieving the universalization targets for 2003 was received, set forth by ANATEL, it had been already providing the fixed telephony service (“STFC”) in the intra-regional local and domestic long distance modalities (“LDN”) in the Region II of the General Concession Plan (“PGO”). After achieving the referred targets, ANATEL, in January 2004, issued authorizations that increase the possibility of Subsidiary’s operation: Local STFC and LDN in the Regions I and III of the PGO (and a few sectors of the Region II); International Long Distance (“LDI”) in the Regions I, II and III of the PGO; mobile telephony, by means of the subsidiary 14 Brasil Telecom Celular S.A. (“BrT Celular”), in the Region II of the Personal Mobile Service (“SMP”). The already existing concession agreements were expanded, enabling LDN calls to any part of the Brazilian territory. If Telecom Italia International N.V. (“TII”) acquired an indirect interest in the Company or in Brasil Telecom S.A., these and TIM Brasil Serviços e Participações S.A. (“TIM”) could be considered affiliates under the new Brazilian telecommunications legislation. That would imply the ability of providing domestic (LDN) and international (LDI) fixed and mobile telephony services throughout the same regions of TIM’s, would be subject to risk of being partially closed by ANATEL. On January 16, 2004, ANATEL issued the Act 41,780 establishing an 18-month period for TII to reacquire an indirect interest in the Company, as long as TII did not participate or vote on issues related to the overlapping of services offered by the Brasil Telecom S.A. and TIM, such as domestic and international long-distance and mobile services. On June 30, 2004, the Administrative Council of Economic Defense – CADE, in the records of the Writ of Prevention 08700.000018/2004 -68, set forth restrictions to the exercise of the control rights on the part of Telecom Italia International N.V. and its representatives at the board of directors of Solpart Participações S.A., Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. and Brasil Telecom S.A.

---

On April 28, 2005, TII and TIM and Brasil Telecom S.A. and BrT Celular entered into various corporate agreements, including an instrument called “Merger Agreement” and a “Protocol” related thereto. Among other reasons alleged, this merger operation was justified by the management of that time as possible solution to overlapping of regulatory licenses and authorizations with TIM, to remove sanctions and penalties, which could be imposed by ANATEL. The operation was forbidden by an injunction issued by the U.S. court. It is also subject-matter of discussion in the Brazilian Court and in arbitration involving controlling shareholders.

On July 7, 2005, ANATEL declared, by means of Act 51,450, that the counting of 18 month-term to solve the overlapping of licenses would start on the date of effective return of TII to the control group of Brasil Telecom S.A. On July 26, 2005, ANATEL, by means of Order 576/2005, declared that the counting of term had already started on April 28, 2005. Therefore, according to ANATEL, the interested companies shall adopt the measures necessary to eliminate the overlapping of the concessions until the end of referred term in October 2006, under the penalty of applying legal sanctions, which may affect either companies or both of them.

Depending on the final decision of ANATEL, these sanctions could have an adverse and material effect on businesses and operations of the Company and of 14 Brasil Telecom Celular S.A.

On October 18, 2006, the Board of Executive Officers of ANATEL, by means of its press agency, informed its previous consent to a new operation presented by Telecom Italia International (TII) with the purpose of unmaking the concession overlapping of the Personal Mobile Service (SMP) in Region II of the General Plan of Authorizations (PGA) and of the domestic and international long distance Switched Fixed Telephone Service (STFC) in regions I, II and III of the General Concession Plan (PGO).

This new operation comprised the transfer, to Brasilco S.r.l. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of TII, with headquarters in Italy), of the total voting shares held by TII in the capital stock of Solpart Participações S.A. (corresponding to 38%), the parent company of Brasil Telecom Participações S.A., of Brasil Telecom S. A. and of 14 Brasil Telecom Celular S. A. The stake of TII in Brasilco shall be managed independently by Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited.

The Agency, upon its prior consent, maintained the prohibitions related to the vote and veto exercise in the resolutions related to the STFC services (LDN and LDI) and SMP.

With the effective implementation of the operation until October 28, 2006, the concession overlapping for the SMP exploitation in Region II of PGA and domestic and international long distance STFC in regions I, II and III of PGO would cease, as a communication of ANATEL of October 18, 2006, mentioned above.

On October 27, 2006, Brasil Telecom S.A. received the terms of resignation, dated October 20, 2006, from two members of its Board of Directors pointed by TII, as well as its respective alternate members. Also, on October 27, 2006, the Company received a letter from its controlling shareholder, SOLPART PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A., informing that TII had already transferred the shares in the terms approved by Anatel - however, within the deadline. On October 30, 2006, the Company disclosed to the market a material fact related to these two topics.

Also on October 30, 2006, ANATEL, through its press agency announced that Telecom Italia International would file with ANATEL on October 27,2006, therefore, within deadline, the supplementary documentation necessary to analyze and approve the new operation: (i) proof of Telecom Italia’s managers and deputies’ resignations in the Board of Directors of Brasil Telecom and Solpart Participações S.A.; and (ii) corporate documents related to the referred transfer of shares and to the independent management of Brasilco by Credit Suisse, in the capacity as Trustee of Telecom Italia.

Should Anatel’s approval be confirmed (still pending) of the documentation presented by TII to the Agency on October 27, 2006, confirming the operation implementation until October 28, 2006, the concession overlapping for SMP exploitation in Region II of PGA and STFC domestic and international long distance in regions I, II and III of PGO would cease.

On November 2006, TII submitted to Anatel the concentration act with Brasilco. During same month, Anatel, observing the procedural progress, it submitted this operation to the Administrative Council of Economic Defense - CADE.

On May 25, 2007, Anatel officially published the decision of granting to TIM new grants of STFC, this time under the local modality, in the Regions I, II and III of the General Concession Plan, (Act 65,152 as of May 24, 2007).

6. BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES

The benefits described in this note are offered to the employees of the Company, of its subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. and its subsidiaries. These companies are better described jointly, and can be referred to as “Brasil Telecom Companies” and for the purpose of the supplementary pension plan mentioned in this note, are also denominated “Sponsor” or “Sponsors”.

a. Supplementary Pension Plan

The Company sponsors supplementary pension plans related to retirement for its employees and assisted members, and, in the case of the latter, medical assistance in some cases. These plans are managed by the following foundations: (i) Fundação 14 de Previdência Privada (“Fundação 14”); (ii) Fundação BrTPREV (“FBrTPREV”) former CRT, a company merged by the Company on 12/28/00; and (iii) Fundação SISTEL de Seguridade Social (“SISTEL”), originated from certain companies of the former Telebrás System.

The Bylaws stipulate approval of the supplementary pension plan policy, and the joint liability attributed to the defined benefit plans is bound to the acts signed with the foundations, with the agreement of the Secretaria de Previdência Complementar - SPC, where applicable to the specific plans.

The plans sponsored are valued by independent actuaries on the fiscal year closing date. In the case of the defined benefit plans described in this explanatory note, immediate recognition of the actuarial gains and losses is adopted. Liabilities are provided for plans which show deficits. This measure has been applied since the 2001 fiscal year, when the regulations of CVM Resolution 371/00 were adopted. In cases that show positive actuarial situations, no assets are recorded due to the legal impossibility of reimbursing these surpluses.

The characteristics of the supplementary pension plans sponsored by the Company are described below:.

FUNDAÇÃO 14

Private Pension Fundação 14 was created in 2004 and since 3/10/05 has been in charge of the management and operation of the TCSPREV pension plan. On such a date, it entered into an administration agreement with SISTEL, so that the latter would provide management and operating services to the TCSPREV and PAMEC-BrT plans up to 9/30/06. From this date on, Fundação 14 took over the management and operation services of its plans.

Plans

TCSPREV (Defined Contribution, Settled Benefit and Defined Benefit)

This defined contribution and settled benefit plan was introduced on 02/28/00. On 12/31/01, all pension plans sponsored by the Company with SISTEL were merged, being exceptionally and provisionally approved by the Secretaria de Previdência Complementar – SPC of document sent to that Agency, due to the need for adjustments to the regulations. Thus, TCSPREV is comprised of defined contribution groups with settled and defined benefits. The plans that were merged into the TCSPREV were the PBS-TCS, PBT-BrT, BrT Management Agreement, and the Unusual Contractual Relation Instrument, and the conditions established in the original plans were maintained. In March 2003, this plan was no longer offered to the sponsors’ new contracted ones. However, concerning the defined contribution group, this plan started being offered as of March 2005. TCSPREV currently provides assistance to nearly 65.6% of the staff.

Contributions to this plan, by group of participants, are established based on actuarial studies prepared by independent actuaries according to regulations in force in Brazil, using the capitalization system to determine the costs. Currently, contributions are made by the participants and the sponsor only for the internal groups PBS-TCS (defined benefit) and TCSPREV (defined contribution). In the TCSPREV group, the contributions are credited in individual accounts of each participant, equally by employee and sponsor, and the basic contribution percentages vary between 3% and 8% of the participant’s salary, according to participant’s age and limited to R$20,070.00 for 2007. Participants have the option to make additional contributions to the plan, but without parity of the Company. In the case of the PBS-TCS group, the sponsor’s contribution corresponds to 12% of the payroll of the participants; while the employees’ contribution varies according to the age, service time and salary. An entry fee may also be payable depending on the age of joining the plan. The sponsors are responsible for the cost of all administrative expenses and risk benefits.

PAMEC-BrT – Health Care Plan for Supplementary Pension Beneficiaries (Defined Benefit)
Destined for health care of retirees and pensioners subject to Grupo PBT-BrT, which was merged into TCSPREV on 12/31/01.

The contribution for this plan was fully paid in July 1998, through a single payment. New contributions are limited to future necessity to cover expenses, if that occurs.

FUNDAÇÃO SISTEL DE SEGURIDADE SOCIAL

The supplementary pension plan – PBS-A, which remains under SISTEL’s management, comes from the period before the Telebrás’ Spin-off and assists participants who had the status of beneficiaries in January 2000. SISTEL also manages the PAMA/PAMA-PCE pension plan, formed by participants assisted by the PBS-A Plan, the PBS’s plans segregated by sponsor in January 2000 and PBS-TCS’ Internal Group, merged into the TCSPREV plan in December 2001.

Plans

PBS-A (Defined Benefit)
Maintained jointly with other sponsors subject to the provision of telecommunications services and destined for participants that had the status of beneficiaries on 1/31/00.

Contributions may occur in case of accumulated deficit. On 12/31/06, the actuarial appraisal date, the plan presented a surplus.

PAMA - Health Care Plan for Retirees / PCE – Special Coverage Plan (Defined Contribution)
Maintained jointly with other sponsors subject to the provision of telecommunications services and destined for participants that had the status of beneficiaries on 01/31/00, for the beneficiaries of the PBS-TCS Group, merged on 12/31/01 into TCSPREV (plan currently managed by Fundação 14) and for the participants of PBS’s defined benefit plans sponsored by other companies, together with SISTEL and other foundations. According to a legal and actuarial appraisal, the Sponsor’s responsibility is exclusively limited to future contributions. From March to July 2004 and from December 2005 to April 2006, an incentive optional migration of retirees and pensioners of PAMA took place for new coverage conditions (PCE). The participants who opted for the migration began to contribute to PAMA/PCE.

The contributions for this plan corresponding to 1.5% on payroll of active participants subject to PBS plans, segregated and sponsored by several sponsors company. In the case of Brasil Telecom, the PBS-TCS was merged into the TCSPREV plan on 12/31/01, and began to constitute an internal group of the plan. Contributions by retirees and pensioners who migrated to PAMA/PCE are also carried out.

FUNDAÇÃO BrTPREV

It is the manager originated from the plans sponsored by former CRT, company incorporated by Brasil Telecom S.A. at the end of 2000. The main purpose of the Company sponsoring FBrTPREV is to maintain the supplementary retirement, pension and other provisions in addition to those provided by the official social security system to participants.

Plans

BrTPREV
Defined contribution plan and settled benefits, launched in October 2002, destined for the concession of pension plan benefits supplementary to those of the official pension plan and that initially assisted only employees subject to the Subsidiary Rio Grande do Sul. This pension plan remained open to new employees of the Company and its subsidiaries from March 2003 to February 2005, when its offering was suspended. Currently, BrTPREV provides assistance to nearly 24.6% of the staff.

Contributions to this plan are established based on actuarial studies prepared by independent actuaries according to the regulations in force in Brazil, using the capitalization system to determine costs. Contributions are credited in individual accounts of each participant, the employee’s and Company’s contributions being equal, the basic percentage contribution varying between 3% and 8% of the participation salary, according to the participant’s age and limited to R$20,761.00 for 2007. Participants have the option to make additional contributions to the plan but without parity of the sponsor. The sponsor is responsible for the administrative expenses and risk benefits.

Fundador - Brasil Telecom e Alternativo - Brasil Telecom

The regular contribution by the sponsor is equal to the regular contribution of the participant, rates of which are variable rates according to age, service time and salary. With the Alternativo Plan - Brasil Telecom, the contributions are limited to three times the ceiling benefit of INSS and the participant also pays an entry fee depending on the age of joining the plan.

Actuarial Insufficiency of the Plans

The mathematical reserve to amortize, corresponding to the current value of the sponsor’s supplementary contribution, as a result of the actuarial deficit of the plans managed by FBrTPREV, have the settlement within the maximum established period of twenty years, as from January 2002, according to Circular 66/SPC/GAB/COA from the Supplementary Pension Department dated 1/25/02. From this maximum term, remains fourteen years and three months for total liquidation, and in the current period to the quarter, an amount of R$ 117,330 (R$ 96,149 in 2006) has been already amortized.

b. Stock Call Option Plan for Management and Employees
The Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. held on April 28, 2000, approved the general plan to grant stock call options to its officers and employees, including those connected to its subsidiaries. The plan authorizes a maximum limit of 10% of the shares of each class of stock. Shares derived from exercising options guarantee the beneficiaries the same rights granted to shareholders of the respective company. The administration of this plan was entrusted to a management committee appointed by the Board of Directors, which decided only to grant preferred stock options. The plan is divided into two separate programs:

Program A

This program is granted as an extension of the performance objectives established by the Board of Directors for a five-year period. Up to the quarter closing date no option had been granted.

Program B

The exercise price is established by the management committee based on the market price of one thousand shares on the date of the grant of option and will be monetarily restated by the IGP-M between the date of signing the contracts and the payment date.

The right to exercise the option is given in the way and terms presented as follows:

	First Grant		Second Grant		Third Grant
	As from	Deadline	As from	Deadline	As from	Deadline
33%	01/01/04	12/31/08	12/19/05	12/31/10	12/22/05	12/31/11
33%	01/01/05	12/31/08	12/19/06	12/31/10	12/22/06	12/31/11
34%	01/01/06	12/31/08	12/19/07	12/31/10	12/22/07	12/31/11

The acquisition periods can be anticipated as a result of the occurrence of events or special conditions established in the option contract. Since December, 2004 until the quarter closing date options were not granted.

Information related to the general plan to grant call options is summarized below:

	09/30/07
	Preferred Share Options	Average Exercise Price R$
Initial balance in the quarter	261,679	13.00
Final balance in the quarter	261,679	13.00

There has been no granting of call options exercised until the quarter closing date and the representation of the options balance in relation to the total of outstanding shares of the subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. 0.05% (0.05% on 06/30/07)

Considering the hypothesis that the options will be fully exercised, the opportunity cost of the respective premiums, calculated based on the Black&Scholes method, for the Subsidiary, would be R$ 1,607 (R$ 532 in 2006).

c. Other Benefits to Employees

7. PROVISIONS FOR CONTINGENCIES

a. Contingencies Liabilities

The Company and its subsidiaries periodically assess their contingency risks, and also review their lawsuits taking into consideration the legal, economic, tax and accounting aspects. The assessment of these risks aims to classifying them according to the chances of unfavorable outcome among the alternatives of probable, possible or remote, taking into account, as applicable, the opinion of the legal advisors.

For those contingencies, which the risks are classified as probable, provisions are recognized. Contingencies classified as possible or remote are discussed in this note. These proceedings are under discussion in the administrative or judicial spheres, in all the jurisdictions, from the initial to the extraordinary ones.

In a number of situations, due to legal requirement or as a caution measure, judicial deposits are made to assure the continuity of the proceedings in discussion. Judicial deposits related to risk contigencies of possible and remote loss are shown in Note 24.

We emphasize that, in some cases, similar subjects may be ranked in different risk degree rates, and this is justified by the facts and the peculiar status related to each proceeding.

Labor Claims

The provisions for labor claims include an estimate by the Company’s management, supported by the opinion of its legal advisors, of the probable losses related to lawsuits filed by employees, former employees of the Company, and of service providers related to the labor matter.

b. In-progress Contingencies

As follows, the tax claims promoted by the Company and Brasil Telecom S.A. are shown, through which the recovery of tax paid is claimed, calculated differently from interpretation sustained by its legal advisers.

PIS/COFINS: judicial dispute about the application of Law 9,718/98, which increased the calculation basis for PIS and COFINS. The period comprised by the Law was from February 1999 to November 2002 for PIS and from February 1999 to January 2004 for COFINS. In November 2005, STF (Federal Supreme Court) concluded the judgment of certain lawsuits dealing with such issue and considered unconstitutional the increase of calculation basis introduced by said Law.

Part of the suits filed by the Controlled Company, in terms of the extension of COFINS tax calculation basis, transited “in rem judicatam” during 2006. It is waiting for the judgment of other processes, which success evaluation in future fund input is considered probable, where the estimated amount to refund not posted in accounting is R$ 145,288 (R$ 126,792 for COFINS and R$ 18,496 for PIS) for the Company and R$ 162,438 for Consolidated (R$ 127,772 for COFINS and R$ 34,666 for PIS).

The recoverable amount expected after 2016 is a result of a provision to cover an actuarial insufficiency of pension plans that is being settled by the subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A., according to the maximum remaining period of 14 years and 6 months, in line with the period established by the Supplementary Pension Department (“SPC”). Despite the time limit stipulated by the SPC and according to the estimated future taxable income, the Subsidiary presents conditions to fully offset the deferred taxes in a period lower than ten years, if it opts to fully anticipate the payment of the debt. Tax credits in the amount of R$139,211, attributed to the Consolidated, were not recorded due to the non-existence of necessary requirements for the history and/or future forecast of taxable income in VANT, BrT Multimídia and BrT CS, indirect subsidiaries.

Other Taxes Recoverable

They are comprised of federal withholding taxes and payments made, calculated based on legal estimates, which will be offset against future tax obligations. The ICMS recoverable arises, for the most part, from credits recorded in the acquisition of fixed assets, whose compensation with ICMS payable may occur in up to 48 months, according to Supplementary Law 102/00.

Self-Financing Funds

They correspond to the credits of capital participation, paid by engaged subscribers, for acquisition of the right of use of switched fixed telephone service, still under the elapsed self-financing modality. It happened that, as the shareholders of the subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. – Rio Grande do Sul Branch (formerly CRT) had fully subscribed the capital increase made to repay in shares the credits for capital participation, there were no unsold shares to be delivered to the engaged subscribers. Part of these engaged subscribers, who did not accept the Subsidiary’s Public Offering for return of the referred credits in cash, as established in article 171, paragraph 2, of Law 6,404/76, are awaiting resolution of the ongoing lawsuit, filed by the Public Prosecution Service and Other, aiming at reimbursement in shares.

41. FUNDS FOR CAPITALIZATION

The expansion plans (self-financing) were the means by which the telecommunications companies financed part of the network investments. With the issue of Administrative Rule 261/97 by the Ministry of Communications, this mechanism for raising funds was eliminated, and the existing consolidated amount of R$7,974 (R$7,974 on 06/30/07) derives from plans sold prior to the issue of the Administrative Rule, the corresponding assets to which are already incorporated in the Company’s fixed assets through the Community Telephony Plant – PCT. For reimbursement in shares, it is necessary to await the judicial ruling on the suits brought by the interested parties.

Brasil Telecom launched new plans and promotions, which resulted in a loyalty increase of fixed telephony clients in this quarter. Brasil Telecom developed as new positioning for fixed telephony, aiming at valuing it, which has been converted to “family telephone” in the communication campaigns. In addition, it promoted improvements in its client retention programs, by creating the new “Brasil Total” and “Brasil Total Negócios” offerings, with packages including local fixed telephony, DDD, intelligent services, mobile telephony and broadband.

In 3Q07, Brasil Telecom had 3.5 million lines in alternative local fixed telephony plans, which means an increase of 26.6% when compared to 3Q06, as a result from the strategy of approaching the market in a more segmented way, by encouraging the adoption of alternative plans. As determined by Anatel, Brasil Telecom finished successfully the conversion from pulses to minutes on July 31, 2007, with no negative impacts on the local fixed telephony income, due to the optimal adhesion of the clients to alternative plans, with billing mode in minutes, equivalent to the previous model in pulses.

Among the alternative plans offered, we highlight the "Conta Completa" plan, which leveraged the sales of alternative plans with a share of more than 60% of the sales mix in 3Q07. This plan enables the clients to select free minutes franchises according to their utilization profile, for each call type: local for fixed telephone, mobile and long distance.

The commercial area focused on advanced fixed telephony, including products such as Virtual PABX and Net Virtual PABX, which do not require investment from clients and offer the functions of traditional PABX, such as monthly services, and evidence the strategy success of Brasil Telecom in offering high-value services. This strategy has been strengthened with the launching of VIP Report CNG (Non-Geographical Codes), which offers to the client advanced reports to manage products such as DDG 0800, favoring even more the client loyalty to Brasil Telecom solutions.

Brasil Telecom also offers alternative long distance plans, and had 747,900 clients at end of 3Q07, which means an increase of 53.2% when compared to 3Q06.

At the end of 3Q07, Brasil Telecom plant were comprised by 10.4 million lines installed, 8.1 million of them in service, representing utilization rate of 77.8% . At end of 3Q07, Brasil Telecom had 7,862,100 lines active and 202,100 lines blocked.

Traffic

Exceeding Minutes (million)		2,107				500		321.6

VC-3		124				146		-14.7

Local Pulses and Exceeding Minutes

The conversion from pulse to minutes billing changed significantly the traffic profile from this quarter. For comparison purposes and using the utilization profile at Brasil Telecom, the conversion factor of the basic home plan was on average 1.7 minutes, non-home was 1.5 minutes and alternative was 4.0 minutes.

It is important emphasizing that the ongoing increase in adhesion to alternative plans leads to the reduction of the exceeding traffic over the free minutes franchise, because the clients are prone to adopt plans according their use profile.

VC-1

VC-1 traffic totaled 673.4 million minutes in 3Q07, 6.7% lower than 3Q06, in function of the fixed-mobile replacement.

Long Distance Traffic

There was a reduction of 3.1% in long distance traffic in 3Q07, when compared to 3Q06. However, this drop is partially compensated in the revenues by the increase of the number of clients that entered in long distance alternative plans, and also by the increase of VC-2 and VC-3 traffic, due to strategic partnerships. These adhesions to alternative domestic long distance plans (LDN) were especially supported on the "14 Simples" plan. "14 Simples" plan offers a 30-min package for the client in order to make LDN calls from fixed telephone to fixed telephone, at anytime of the day and to any place in Brazil, by a very affordable value. CSP 14 repositioning, highlighting the importane of voice in the transmission of feelings and approach among people, has also contributed to motivate the adhesion to alternative plans.

LD Market Share

In 3Q07, Brasil Telecom held its leadership position and achieved an average market share of 85.5% in intra-regional segment. In the intra-sectorial segment, Brasil Telecom achieved 90.2% of market share. Brasil Telecom maintained in 3Q07 the 63.7% of market share in inter-regional segment and increased in 3Q07, 1.4 p.p. in the international segment, reaching 37.4% of market share.

Mobile Accesses

Mobile telephony reached 4,023,800 accesses in service, which represented net addition of 255,300 accesses in 3Q07. At the end of 3Q07, the client portfolio of BrT Móvel was 31.9% greater than that in 3Q06, versus an increase of 17.6% of the Brazilian market in the same period.

At the end of September 2007, the mobile plant was comprised by 856,800 post-paid subscribers (21.3% of BrT Móvel client base) and 3,167,000 prepaid clients.

Gross additions in 3Q07 were 642,700 accesses, 45.1% over 3Q06. The number of gross additions of 3Q07 also exceeded the previous quarter, which is traditionally the top second of the year in function of the Mother’s Day. This result reflects the success of the plans and promotions offered by BrT Móvel and the capillarity increase of the points of sale.

Promotions have been created, aiming at encouraging on-net traffic or call reception, in order to generate interconnection revenues, such as "Fale de Graça com Outras Operadoras". Among the promotions for the Father’s Day, we have "Fale de Graça à Noite" and "Fale de Graça do Orelhão". And, in the post-paid segment, the promotion: "Fale de Graça aos Domingos" was launched.

Coverage Area

At the end of 3Q07, BrT Móvel covered 841 locations, servicing 87% of the population in Region II.

BrT Móvel has maintained the strategy of growing with profitability, by reducing costs and following the market at subsidies level. The client acquistion cost (SAC) of BrT Móvel was R$85.1, 42.6% lower when compared to the figures in 3Q06, confirming the strategy of focusing growth of the base without impairing its profitability. In this quarter, BrT Móvel was pioneer in launching the "ultra low cost" handset, sold by R$49.0, to encourage prepaid sales.

Throughout 3Q07, Brasil Telecom added 69,800 ADSL accesses to its plant, totaling 1,523,200 accesses in service at the end of September 2007, with an increase of 21.6% when compared to 3Q06. The ongoing growth of ADSL services was maintained during 3Q07, supported by the expansion of the standard Turbo service portfolio, by launching 3 new speeds - 2Mega, 4Mega and 8Mega - using ADSL 2+ technology, and the partnership with Sky. The new speeds have the purpose of supporting the demand for higher speed in function of the development of new Web 2.0 tools at disposal of the users. ADSL (ADSL/LES) penetration in 3Q07 reached 18.9%, against 14.5% in 3Q06.

Brasil Telecom has been investing significantly, in the last years, in the cappilarization and introduction of new promising technologies in this segment, which has resulted in an ADSL coverage for 1,488 cities.

For Brasil Telecom, Broadband networks are the major ways to offering new services to its users, among them: Multimedia Conference, VoIP, Data VPN, etc.

Today, Brasil Telecom offers broadband service over metallic pair with the technology ADSL 2+, which enables accesses up to 24Mbps, and is introducing VDSL2 in its network, which enables speeds up to 100Mbps. By their turn, optical networks that enable offering typical speeds ranging from 10Mbps to 1Gbps - to this date offered by Brasil Telecom only for the corporate segment (via Metro Ethernet), will be offered to home users and PME (small- and medium-size companies) segment.

To reflect this strategy in the communication with its clients, Brasil Telecom adopted a new positioning for Turbo, which is now presented as “Turbo: a Internet de quem quer tudo.”

In addition to ADSL accesses, Brasil Telecom registered in 3Q07, the ongoing growth of other products in the data communication segment aimed at companies, with special emphasis to those using IP as tehnological base (Vetor - VPN IP MPLS and Corporate IP -access dedicated to Internet).

New IP-based data communication products were launched to support the demand from small- and medium-size companies. The IP Professional product was launched to meet the need for Internet access, by offering exclusive differentials to make business via Internet.

Based on our special review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the interim financial statements referred to in paragraph 1 for them to be in conformity with Brazilian accounting practices and standards established by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), specifically applicable to the preparation of mandatory interim financial statements.
4.	Our special review was conducted for the purpose of issuing report on the special review of the Quarterly Information referred in paragraph 1, as a whole. The cash flow statements related to the 9-month periods ended on September 30, 2007 and 2006, which are presented to provide supplementary information on the Company and its controlled companies, are not required as a integral part of the Quarterly Information. These statements were submitted to the review procedures described in paragraph 2, and based on our review, we do not know any relevant modification to be made on these supplementary statements in order to make them adequate to presentation, in all of their relevant aspects, in relation of the Quarterly Information related to the 9-month periods ended on September 30, 2007 and 2006, as a whole.
5.	We previously review the balance sheets (individual and consolidated) prepared on June 30, 2007 and the income statements related to the quarter and 9-month period ended on September 30, 2006, presented for comparison purposes, on which we issued special review, without exceptions, dated on July 24, 2007 and October 31, 2006, respectively.
6.	The accompanying interim financial statements have been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.
