(São Paulo, Brazil – July 27, 2006) – The management of Telecomunicações de São Paulo S/A –TELESP (NYSE: TSP; BOVESPA: TLPP) announces the following Relevant Fact:

Telefônica Data Brasil Holding S.A. (“TDBH”) and Telecomunicações de São Paulo S.A. –TELESP (“TELESP”) inform their shareholders that, according to the information disclosed in the website of the Justice Court of the state of São Paulo on July 26, 2006, the 10th Chamber of the Private Right Section of the Justice Court of the state of São Paulo (10a Câmara da Seção de Direito Privado do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de São Paulo) unanimously approved the Appeal #448.590 -4 (“Appeal”) filed by TDBH against the preliminary decision granted to the Legal Injunction #06.143686 -7 filed by investments funds managed by Hedging Griffo Corretora de Valores Mobiliários S.A. Said decision had suspended the holding of the Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting (“EGSM”) of TDBH in which the merger of said company into Telesp would be voted on. Before the EGSM took place, such preliminary decision had been partially modified by the President of the 10th Chamber, who allowed the holding of the EGSM on April 28, 2006, but suspended the effects of the merger until a final judgment on the merits of the aforementioned Appeal. With the final judgment of the Appeal in favor of TDBH, the effects of the EGSM have been fully reinstated. The companies inform the shareholders of TDBH that the start of the period to exercise the right of withdrawal will begin on the date this Relevant Fact is published on the newspapers. The right of withdrawal can be exercised by shareholders of TDBH registered as such on March 09, 2006 in the terms of the item 8.5 of the relevant fact published on the same date.
