FCLX NEWS JUST OUT - -- DJ Peru FirstCom Unit To Start Outgoing Long-Distance Calls -- LIMA (Dow Jones)--FirstCom Peru, a subsidiary of FirstCom Corp (FCLX), will offer outgoing long-distance telephone calls from Peru in mid-October, rounding out its long-distance service, the company's general manager, Jose Gandullia, said Wednesday. "We will finish the interconnection with Telefonica this week and start testing in order to provide complete long-distance service about Oct. 10 to 15," FirstCom Peru's Gandullia said. A regulation issued Wednesday in El Peruano, Peru's official gazette, set out the inter-connection rules for FirstCom and Telefonica del Peru (TDP). In July, Osiptel, the state agency that supervises the telecommunication sector, ordered a "provisional" interconnection between the two companies. Since then, FirstCom Peru has been offering partial long-distance service, allowing income foreign telephone calls only. The long-distance market in Peru was officially opened to competition in August, 1998. Only Telefonica currently offers full service long-distance services. Spain's Telefonica (TEF) holds a controlling interest in Telefonica del Peru.
