It has been resolved by the members present at the meeting that these minutes be drafted in summarized form.

(1) The following documents have been submitted by BT’s Executive Officers: (i) BT’s and its controlled companies’ business plan for the 2005/2007 triennium; and (ii) BT’s and its controlled companies’ budget for fiscal year 2005. Several questions were raised by the Board’s members, for which BT’s Executive Officers presented the necessary clarifications.

Afterwards, the matter was put to the vote, the Company’s Board of Directors members having approved, by unanimous decision, (i) BT’s and its controlled companies’ business plan for the 2005/2007 triennium; and (ii) BT’s and its controlled companies’ budget for fiscal year 2005, with the following reservations:

As far as the Budget is concerned, in the item “Investments – Regulatory”, the amount of R$ 500 million has been approved, taking into consideration the uncertainties in connection with the negotiation with Anatel. Therefore, considering a final decision from Anatel is taken by the end of the first semester, 2005, then a revision of the approved budget shall be made, if necessary, when such decision is made.

In regards to the Business Plan, the investments provided for have been approved on a non-definitive basis, but new discussions shall occur upon the approval of the relevant annual budgets in light of the scenario of the moment, specially with respect to Anatel’s requirements.
