MATERIAL FACT

Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. (“Brasil Telecom Participações S.A.” or “Company”) based on art. 157 of Law 6,404/76 and in compliance with CVM Instruction 358/02, complementing the Material Facts disclosed on this date, in which it reiterates that Brasil Telecom S.A.’s (“Brasil Telecom”) Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting summoned for September 30, 2005 shall be effectively held, informs to the Company’s and Brasil Telecom’s Shareholders and to the market in general the following:

On September 28, 2005, Brasil Telecom disclosed Material Fact, with the purpose to “announce the full transcription proferred on September 29, 2005 by the Comissão de Meio Ambiente, Defesa do Consumidor e Fiscalização e Controle do Senado Federal, forwarded on this date by its President, Senator Leomar Quintanilha, to the Minister of the Federal Accounts Tribunal, Your Honor, Mr. Benjamin Zymler…”.

Answering such Notice which Brasil Telecom considers a “decision”, Your Honor Senator Ana Julia Carepa, effective member of the Comissão de Meio Ambiente, Defesa do Consumidor e Fiscalização e Controle do Senado Federal, forwarded Notice 389-GSAJC to Your Honor Mr. Benjamin Zymler, President of the Federal Accounts Tribunal, with content as follows:

“Mr. Minister,

I take this opportunity to send my best regards to Your Honor, as well as to demonstrate my concern regarding the Notice 106/2005-CMA, forwarded to Your Honor on 09/28/2005.

I clarify as of now, as an effective member of the Comissão de Meio Ambiente, Defesa do Consumidor e Inspeção e Controle do Senado Federal, that the suggestion forwarded by Senator Leomar Quintanilha was not a subject that was discussed by this Commission, therefore, it was ignored by its members.

Moreover, I take this opportunity to, likewise, suggest that the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting be held tomorrow (09/30/05) with the sole purpose to replace the Opportunity Group from Brasil Telecom S.A.’s Management. In effect, I see no reason for there to be any interference on the natural course of this process.

I inform Your Honor that a copy of this Notice is being forwarded in urgent basis to the same entities previously informed by Notice 106/2005, specially to the Chief Executive Officers of Brasil Telecom S.A. and Brasil Telecom Participações seeking to attend all necessary actions to maintain the summons for the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, to be held on 09/30/05.

I thank you in advance for Your Honor’s valuable attention and renew my votes of consideration and appreciation.

Senator Ana Júlia Carepa”

In light of the exposed, the Company reiterates that Brasil Telecom’s Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, summoned at the request of the shareholder which holds 99% of the voting capital, to replace the Board of Directors and to appoint the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Collegiate, shall be held in strict accordance to the dispositions of the respective Summons Notice.
