Chile's telecoms regulator Subtel has completed testing of SMS interconnection systems and will now draft a resolution obligating mobile operators to exchange text messages between each other's networks, the regulator said in a statement. In other news, Subtel has begun an inspection drive to ensure that telcos are carrying out repairs in a timely manner. The statement comes as Telefonica CTC Chile (NYSE: CTC) closes the 14th day of a major strike, and faces a growing backlog of service complaints.

International rating agency Fitch Ratings has placed its BBB+ rating for Telefonica del Peru's (NYSE: TDP) international net-settlement securitization (TDP Grantor Trust) on Rating Watch Negative, because of exposure to WorldCom. Fitch downgraded WorldCom's senior unsecured ratings to 'CC' from 'B' on June 26, 2002. WorldCom contributes approximately 25% of the securitization's cash flows. As of June 30, 2002, WorldCom has had no delinquent payment on net settlement obligations to TDP. However, the potential for an interruption of payments by WorldCom to TDP Grantor Trust creates uncertainty for the transaction, Fitch said.
