When compared to December 2005, the growth was of 400 thousand accesses or 33.1%, in line with the upward trend of last quarters.

Alternative Plans for Fixed Telephony Through the alternative plans for fixed telephony, the Company takes advantage of its existed installed capacity, makes clients loyal and serves each time better the different market segments with more adequate choices for access to fixed telephones, previously. This reflects the commitment of Telesp related to the universalization of telecommunication services in the state of São Paulo, higher than the regulatory demands, and the socialization of communication and information accesses.
It is worth noting the success of the Plans of Minutes that offer progressive discounts depending on the contracted volume of minutes. There are versions for fixed-to-fixed, fixed-to-mobile and intra-state long distance calls. Until the end of 2006, more than 1.7 million plans of minutes were sold, of which 609.4 thousand were sold in the last quarter.
The net operating revenues accumulated for the fiscal year 2006 totaled R$14,643.0 million, an increase of R$247.9 million or 1.7% when compared to R$14,395.1 million recorded in 2005. This is mainly due to the growth of the Speedy service, packet data communication and number of alternative lines. This effect was partially offset by a reduction in interconnection revenues, due to the new interconnection rules in place as of January 1, 2006, as such TU-RL was limited to up to 50% of the value related to local minute public tariff, in other words, a 22.3% decrease over the tariff in place in December 2005, readjustment of 13.3% in the TU-RL that took place in June 2005, reduction in the inter-area LD and international revenues, besides the negative tariff readjustment in 2006. Revenue of 4Q06, climbed R$10.3 million or 0.3% over 4Q05 due to the same reasons explained previously.
Results January September 2006 - TELESP 3
The EBITDA margin for 2006 was 47.2%, an increase of 1.7 p.p. when compared to 2005. This raise was due to the reversion of the PIS/COFINS contingency in the amount of R$257.6 million occurred in 3Q06, growth of the Speedy service, packet data communication and public telephony, partially offset by the decrease in international and inter-area Long Distance and interconnection revenues, besides the increase in personnel and taxes expenses. The Company recorded in 4Q06 a reduction of 1.3 p.p. over 4Q05, reaching an EBITDA margin of 43.5% . This declining can be explained by a decrease in interconnection, DLD and ILD revenues, besides higher personnel and taxes expenses, partially offset by the growth in the Speedy service, packet data communication and services rendered by the subsidiary A. Telecom.
The consolidated Capex for 2006 was R$1.7 billion. This figure is in line with the investment needs of the Company and confirms the long-term commitment of the Telefónica Group in Brazil, both in keeping and

socializing its traditional services, as well as growing through new services and implementing a larger and better customer service.
On December 31, 2006, the total net indebtedness of the Company was R$2,441.4 million, 9.6% higher over the same period last year. On September 30, 2006, the total indebtedness of the Company was R$1,546.2 million.

REVENUES HIGHLIGHTS |
Gross Operating Revenue for the fiscal year 2006 reached R$20,796.8 million, which represents an increase of R$445.8 million, or 2.2%, compared to same period of the previous year. In 4Q06, gross operating revenue rose by 1.9% or R$102.3 million over 4Q05.
The changes are explained as follows:
Monthly Subscription Fee: reached R$5,689.6 million in 2006, representing a decrease of R$1.7 million, practically in line with the fiscal year 2005. In 4Q06, the monthly subscription fee declined by 1.1% or R$16.6 million over 4Q05 due to the negative tariff readjustment in July 2006 and by a reduction in total number of subscribers due to a more careful policy regarding to maintenance of the client basis, partially offset by the success in sales of alternative fixed telephony plans.
Installation Fee: recorded revenues of R$119.3 million in 2006, showing an increase of R$21.7 million, or 22.2%, when compared to same period of the previous year, due to the tariff readjustment in 2005, the installation fee of new alternative plans in fixed telephony and end of the free installation promotion for the second telephone line. In 4Q06, this revenue climbed by 16.9% or R$4.6 million y-o-y due to the same aforesaid reasons.
Local Service: totaled R$ 3,242.8 million in 2006, practically in line with a reduction of R$5.0 million over 2005. This effect can be explained by traffic reduction in the period due to the migration from dial-up
Results January September 2006 - TELESP 6
internet to broadband, from fixed traffic to mobile plant and the negative tariff readjustment in July 2006, partially counterbalanced by the tariff readjustment occurred in 2005 and for expansion of alternative plans which have different prices for monthly fee and local service. In 4Q06, local service revenues declined by 4.5% or R$ 39.3 million y-o-y, due to traffic reduction, consequence of the migration from dial-up internet to broadband, from fixed traffic to mobile plant and the negative tariff readjustment in July 2006.
DLD: totaled R$ 3,017.4 million in 2006, a reduction of R$209 million or 6.5% when compared to same period of the previous year. A decrease of R$85.2 million or 10.3% was recorded when comparing 4Q06 versus 4Q05. The variations are explained by the following reasons:
Long distance (intra-state): recorded revenues of R$2,090.2 million in 2006, an increase of R$48.1 million or 2.4% when compared to same period of the previous year, reflecting a lower level of discounts in tariffs, in line with the market. This effect was partially offset by traffic reduction in the period and migration of users to other technologies, besides changes in call cadence as of January 1, 2006. In 4Q06, revenues decreased by 2.3% or R$12.4 million over 4Q05, due to traffic reduction in the period, and migration of users to other technologies, besides changes in call cadence as of January 1, 2006.
Long distance (inter-state): reached R$927.2 million in 2006, a reduction of R$257.2 million or 21.7% when compared to same period of the previous year, reflecting a traffic reduction due to the migration of users to mobile telephony, negative tariff readjustment of 2.7% in July 2006, besides changes in call cadence as of January 1, 2006, partially counterbalanced by the tariff readjustment of 2005. In 4Q06, revenues decreased by 24.5% or R$72.9 million y-o-y, due to reduction of fixed and SMP traffic, negative tariff readjustment of 2.7% in July 2006 and a focused effort in anti-fraud measures during the quarter, besides changes in call cadence as of January 1, 2006.
Inter-network revenues: summed R$4,243.4 million in 2006, an increase of R$23.1 million or 0.5% over 2005, mainly due to tariff increases in June 2005 (VC1) and in march 2006 (VC2 and VC3), besides the growth in mobile plant. In 4Q06, revenues declined R$ 68.9 million or 6.2% y-o-y, due to a focused effort in anti-fraud measures during the quarter and discounts conceded to larger clients. This effect was partially counterbalanced by the tariff increases in March 2006 (VC2 and VC3)
ILD: reached R$ 152.7 million in 2006, a reduction of R$ 18.6 million or 10.9% when compared to the same period last year, explained by traffic and tariff reduction due to high competitive actions among operators in this segment. A decrease of R$ 10.8 million or 23.9% was recorded in 4Q06 versus 4Q05 due to traffic reduction in the period, partially explained by a fall of 2.3% in the number of working days and a focused effort in anti-fraud measures during the quarter.
Interconnection Revenues: totaled R$ 534.8 million in 2006, a drop of R$219.0 million or 29.0% over 2005. In 4Q06, interconnection revenues, decreased by 32.0% or R$ 61.2 million y-o-y. Both effects were chiefly caused by the new interconnection rules in place as of January 1, 2006, which changed the maximum values for interconnection tariffs (TU-RL and TU-RIU). In 2006, the TRU-Rl tariff was limited to 50% of the local minute value, which represents a decrease of 22.3% when compared to the tariff in place in 2005. Regarding TU-RIU, the maximum value represents 30% of values referred to the level 4, considering time period. It is worth noting, there was also a 13.3% negative readjustment of the TU-RL in June 2005.
Public Telephony: recorded R$ 584.9 million in 2006, up R$ 141.8 million or 32.0% when compared to the same period of the previous year, due to the improvement in sales of public telephone cards, tariff increase in 2005, renegotiation of the margins offered to dealers, partially offset by the negative tariff

readjustment in July 2006. In the 4Q06, revenues rose by 31.4% or R$39.5 million over the 4Q05, explained by the same aforesaid reasons
Data Transmission: reached R$ 2,020.4 million in 2006, an increase of R$ 707.4 million or 53.9% over 2005, mostly due to the growth in the Speedy service, besides, the migration of services rendered by the subsidiary Telefônica Empresas S.A. An improvement of R$ 304.3 million or 83.5% was recorded when comparing the 4Q06 versus 4Q05 due to the same aforesaid reason.
Infrastructure rental: totaled R$ 397.5 million in 2006, a drop of R$ 17.7 million or 4.3% over 2005. This effect was chiefly caused by the fact that a big portion of this service was rendered to Telefônica Empresas S.A. and now it is treated as intercompany. In 4Q06, revenues declined by 21.1% or R$25.7 million over 4Q05, due to the same aforesaid reasons.
Others: reached R$793.9 million in 2006, a rise of R$ 22.9 million or 3.0% over 2005, explained mainly by the increase of Intelligent Line services (value added services for fixed telephony) and improvement in internal network maintenance plans executed by the subsidiary A. Telecom, partially offset by lower usage of 0800 services and other additional services executed by the subsidiary A. Telecom. In the 4Q06, revenues rose by 43% or R$61.7 million over the 4Q05, due to the same aforesaid reasons.

OPERATING EXPENSES HIGHLIGHTS |
Operating Expenses in 2006 reached R$ 7,735.3 million, a decrease of R$ 107.5 million or 1.4% compared to same period of the previous year. When comparing the 4Q06 versus 4Q05, it was recorded an increase of R$ 53.4 million, or 2.6% .
The Operating Expense variations are explained as follows:
Personnel expenses reached up to R$757.5 million in 2006, an increase of R$148.6 million, or 24.4% over 2005, mainly due to salary raise in September 2005 and September 2006, Early Retirement Program (PDI) and headcount increase as a result of an internalization of the systems administrative services, besides the migration of employees from the subsidiary Telefônica Empresas. Excluding effects of the subsidiary Telefônica Empresas S.A. and Early Retirement Program (PDI), an increase of R$28.8 million, or 4.7% was recorded. In 4Q06, personnel expenses recorded a growth of R$68.9 million or 44.0% y-o-y, explained by salary raise in September 2006 and headcount increase due to migration of employees from the
Results January September 2006 - TELESP 9
subisidiary Telefônica Empresas S.A. to Telesp. An increase of R$7.2 million or 4.6% was recorded when excluding the effects of the subsidiary Telefônica Empresas S.A.
General and administrative expenses totaled R$6,685.0 million 2006, showing a raise of R$59 million or 0.9% when compared to same period of the previous year. In 4Q06, general and administrative expenses increased by 1.5% or R$26.4 million y-o-y.
The General and Administrative Expenses changes are mainly explained as follows:
Supplies totaled R$153.5 million in 2006, an increase of R$ 18.0 million or 13.3% over 2005, due to Detectas (caller ID service) marketing campaign, which gave away caller ID CPEs (customer premises equipment) to new subscribers, public telephony cards, explained by higher sales of card during the year, partially offset by reduction in residential pre-paid card sales and material for data processing. In 4Q06, supplies expenses rose by 25.0% or R$8.8 million y-o-y, due to a growth in public telephony cards sales and cost of goods sold, mainly for the data transmission basis preparation (service rendered by the subsidiary Telefônica Empresas S.A.).
Outsourcing expenses totaled R$2,669.6 million in 2006, a raise of R$28.0 million, or 1.1% over 2005, due to an increase of expenses related to customer service, public telephone terminals maintenance, systems and implementation costs of data transmission switches, partially offset by the reduction in expenses related to the rendering of narrowband Internet and maintenance expenses for Internet systems. In 4Q06, outsourcing expenses climbed by 1.4% or R$9.5 y-o-y, due to an increase of expenses related to customer service and implementation costs of data transmission switches, counterbalanced by expense reduction related to IP network traffic, a service rendered previously by the subsidiary Telefônica Empresas S.A., and cost reduction regarding to the rendering of narrowband internet.
Interconnection expenses reached R$3,555.9 million in 2006, a drop of R$23.1 million or 0.6% when compared to same period of the previous year, mainly due to negative readjustment of 13.3% in the TU-RL that occurred in June 2005, new interconnection rules in place as of January 1, 2006, which modified maximum values of the TU-RL and TU-RIU, reduction in transport of mobile calls and the new tariff schedule in VUM for VC2 and VC3. This effect was partially offset by fixed-to-mobile traffic increase, due to an expansion of the mobile plant, raise of 4.5% in VUM in June 2005 (VC1) and in March 2006 (VC2 and VC3). In 4Q06, interconnection expenses fell by 3.6% or 33.1 million over the 4Q05, as a result of the new interconnection rules in place as of January 1, 2006.
Other Expenses reached R$306.0 million in 2006, an increase of R$36.2 million, or 13.4% over 2005, due to rental of network for data transmission, rise of poles rental and electric energy. In 4Q06, other expenses rose by 63.5% or R$41.1 million over 4Q05, due to the same aforementioned reasons.
Taxes totaled R$404.2 million in 2006, an increase of R$157.7 million, or 64.0%, over 2005 chiefly due to the renewal of concession contract approved in December 2005 and valid until December 2025. The contract establishes that the concessionary must pay, every two years during the new concession period, a fee corresponding to 2% of the STFC revenues of the previous year, net of applicable taxes and social contributions. In 4Q06, taxes expenses climbed by 49.2% or R$33.5 million y-o-y due to the same aforesaid reasons.
Provisions reached R$413.6 million in 2006, a decrease of R$2.1 million or 0.5%, when compared to same period of the previous year. The figure for the period represents 2.8% of total net operating revenues (2.9% in 2005). In 4Q06, an increase of R$5.1 million or 4.4% was recorded. In 4Q06, this provision represented 3.3% of total net operating revenues (3.1% in the 4Q05).
Results January September 2006 - TELESP 10
Investment gains (losses) recorded a positive result of R$1.0 million in 2006 versus a negative result of R$17.8 million in 2005, or a variation of R$18.8 million due to the foreign exchange rate effect in the equity accounting as a result of consolidation of the subsidiary Aliança Atlântica. Comparing the 4Q06 versus 4Q05, a negative variation of R$0.7 million was recorded due to the same aforementioned reasons.
Other operating revenues (expenses) in 2006, recorded a positive net variation of R$451.9 million, or 627.6% compared to 2005. Such behavior is mainly the result of a reversion of the federal tax contingency related to the favorable ruling for the Company in the legal process questioning the increase in calculation basis of Contributions for Financing of Social Security (COFINS applicable until February 2004) and for the Social Integration Program (PIS applicable until November 2002) with the inclusion of financial revenues, securitizations and foreign exchange rate variations, instead of operating revenues only. The effect of the aforesaid reversion in the amount of R$257.6 million were contemplated in the balance sheet and income statement on September 30, 2006. Furthermore, there was a recovery of expenses of previous fiscal years (mainly PIS and Cofins over consumables), and from those related to network damages besides, a recovery of revenues that were classified as loss in the past. This effect was partially offset by increase in civil contingencies and actuarial provisions. When comparing 4Q06 versus 4Q05, a positive net variation of R$81.2 million or 463% was recorded. This variation is result of expenses in 2005 due to contractual rescission with third party companies, which rendered network maintenance service that reduced the analysis basis for the period, besides recovery of revenues that were recorded as loss, partially counterbalanced by increase in actuarial provision.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS |
Depreciation in 2006 dropped by 1.5% or R$40.5 million over 2005, explained by the realignment of Capex levels after the achievement of universalization targets and ending of goodwill amortization over CETERPs acquisition, which had monthly amortizations of R$2.7 million whose last installment was recorded in November 2005. These effects were partially offset by the permanent and deferred assets incorporated from Telefônica Empresas S.A. in July 2006, which is subject to depreciation/amortization since August 2006. When comparing the 4Q06 versus the 4Q05, an increase of R$7.1 million, or 1.1% was recorded due to fixed assets and goodwill added in the Company.
Operating Financial Revenues / (Expenses): the financial result in 2006, rose by 22.9% or R$329.3 million when compared to 2005, mainly as a result of a higher average volume of financial instruments (CDB), reduction of Interests on own capital granted by the Company during the period and the reduction of losses related to hedge operations due to the increase in payment volume of loans denominated in foreign currency, partially offset by raise in monetary restatement with contingencies. In 4Q06, net financial result reduced R$56.8 million or 11.3% y-o-y, explained by an increase of the interest on own capital declared in 4Q06, partially offset by reduction of losses related to hedge trades. The gross indebtedness and the result of liabilities from loans, financing and commitments for foreign exchange purchases of the Company are significantly affected by the foreign exchange market risk. On December 31, 2006, 35.18% (36.45% on December 31,2005) of financial debt was denominated in foreign currency (US dollar and Yen), while 99.88% (99.37% on December 31,2005) of the indebtedness was covered by active positions in hedge transactions (Swap to CDI). Gains or losses of the aforementioned operations are recorded in the financial statements. On December 31, 2006, derivative trades reported a consolidated net negative result of R$164.2 million, while a liability of R$316.3 million was recorded on December 31, 2006, to acknowledge the existing temporary loss. Since they are protective trades, part of the consolidated net negative result of R$164.2 million related to derivatives are offset by revenues from foreign exchange rate variation of the debts, in the amount of R$70.7 million.
Non-Operating Revenues (Expenses) in 2006 recorded a positive result of R$23.6, however, when comparing the 4Q06 versus 4Q05, a reduction of R$14.2 million or 37.5% was recorded, due to net loss related to permanent asset sales besides, positive result from trade of shares that generated a net profit in 2005, raising the comparison basis. When analyzing the 4Q06 a positive result of R$9.9 million was recorded versus an increase of R$12.9 million in 4Q05, due to a decrease of losses related to permanent asset sales and revenue generated with sales of investments.
Loans and Financing: On December 31, 2006, the Company had R$822.6 million (R$874.0 million on December 31, 2005) in loans and financing denominated in foreign currency, from which R$553.4 million (R$478.2 million on December 31, 2005) were raised at fixed interest rates, and R$269.2 million (R$395.8 million on December 31, 2005) were raised at variable interest rates (Libor). In order to be protected against exchange risk and variable interest rates of these loans denominated in foreign currency, the Company contracted hedge transactions to peg these debts to the local currency, with floating interest rates indexed to the CDI, thus the indebtness of the Company is only affected by fluctuations on this rate. The position in loans and financing also includes the value of the debentures issued in 2004, paying interests based on the variation of the CDI rate, in the amount of R$1,514.5 million (R$1,521.7 million on December 31,2005). Furthermore, the Company invests the balance of cash and cash equivalents (financial instruments) of R$213.0 million (R$463.5 million on December 31, 2005) mainly in short-term instruments, based on the variation of the CDI, which contributes to reduce this risk. The book value of these instruments is close to market value, since they are short-term redeemed.

HISTORICAL SUMMARY |
Since November 30, 1999 and due to a corporate restructuring, Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. -TELESP is the new name of Telesp Participações S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Brazil, formed upon the spin off of Telecomunicações Brasileiras S.A., on May 22, 1998. TELESP is the main provider of fixed line public telecommunications services in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. The Brazilian Government sold its stake in TELESP PARTICIPAÇÕES, thus privatizing the Company, on July 29, 1998.
In December 1999, Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. - TELESP acquired voting and non-voting shares of Centrais Telefônicas de Ribeirão Preto S.A. - CETERP. The CETERP cellular operating division was sold afterwards.
The tender offer to exchange the shares of the Company by BDRs (Brazilian Depositary Receipts) representative of the shares of Telefónica, S.A. was concluded on June 30, 2000.
On August 03, 2000, the wholly owned subsidiary Telefônica Empresas S.A. was created, whose corporate goal is to render switched package network services. On November 24, 2000, the Company completed the capital increase on its fully owned subsidiary in local currency and through the valuation of the assets related to the switched package network services, including the transfer of the authorization to render that service.
On January 30, 2001, Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. was created, resulting of the partial spin-off of the Companys net equity. This equity was represented by the investment in the fully owned subsidiary Telefônica Empresas S.A. and accounts receivable. The purpose of the creation of Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. was the segregation of the operating activities related to the switched package network services, due to the administrative and operating restructuring in the year 2000.
TELESP's business, services and tariffs have been regulated by ANATEL (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações) since June 16, 1997, according to various decrees, decisions, plans and regulatory measures.
TELESP became the first operator to file the corresponding information of the accomplishment of ANATEL's targets. ANATEL has already granted the license to permit Telesp to offer domestic and international long distance services to its customers, and also to extend its business out of its concession area (São Paulo) to the whole country.
The international long distance services started to be deployed on May 7, 2002 while the domestic long distance services were not being rendered in that period due to a legal injunction. For the same reasons, the domestic long distance services started to be deployed on July 29, 2002.
The Board of Directors of ANATEL, on its 240th meeting held on January 29, 2003 granted Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. - Telesp the authorization to exploit the Multimedia Communications Service (SCM) nationwide. The Company may offer voice and data services through points of presence, composed of networks and telecommunication circuits.
On July 06, 2003, the mobile telephony operators started to implement the long distance carrier selection (CSP). It enables the client to determine the long distance carrier for each domestic long distance call (VP2

and VP3) or international call, according to the SMP Mobile Personal Service rules. Consequently, the Company started to acknowledge the revenues from said services and, at the same time, started to pay to the mobile telephony operators for the use of their networks.
On September 04, 2004, the rules established in Resolution #373 of Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency), dated as of June 03, 2004, were implemented. This Resolution deals with the reconfiguration of the local areas for the Switched Fixed Telephony Service - STFC. As a consequence, all calls, previously billed as domestic long distance DC level (Áreas Conurbadas), are now billed as local calls. In São Paulo, this modification involved 53 municipalities, while 39 of them are in Grande São Paulo.
On December 04, 2004, the phase II of the rules established in Resolution #373 of Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency), dated as of June 03, 2004, was implemented. This modification involved 25 municipalities, distributed into 9 different groups. The calls among the municipalities within each group will be billed as local calls. Previously, such calls were billed as domestic long distance, levels 1 and 2.
On December 24, 2004, the Company acquired the control of Santo Genovese Participações Ltda., controller of Atrium Telecomunicações Ltda. (Atrium), company dedicated to the management of the rendering of telecommunication services. The operation allowed the Company to increase its offer to the domestic market with services that have greater value added, through the management of the rendering of telecommunication services.
On December 31, 2005, the concession contract for the STFC expired. On December 22, 2005, this concession contract was extended for a period of 20 years, while it can be modified on December 31, 2010, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2020. This condition allows Anatel to establish new conditions and new targets for universalization and quality, taking into consideration the conditions in place by that time.
Every two years for the 20-years period of the new contracts, the public regime companies will have to pay a renewal tax equivalent to 2% of the revenues of the STFC of the previous year of the payment, net of applicable taxes and social contributions.
From 2006 on, the Company keeps provisioning the concession contract renewal tax. Exceptionally, the first payment of the bi-annual tax will take place in April 2007, based on the net revenues of 2006.
