                    [Title] => NTC denies issuing order for Infocom to halt service
                    [Summary] => 

Officials of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) said yesterday
the regulatory body did not issue an order stopping trunk radio operator
Infocom Communications Network Inc. from providing cellular telephone
service.

Infocom has never provided cellular phone service so there is no need to order
it from doing so, the NTC officials said.

The clarification came in the wake of reports that the Pittsburgh-based Nextel

The interconnection dispute between Smart Communications Inc. and Nextel of
Infocom Communications Network Inc. is likely to drag on despite the lapse of
the 30-day period given by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) for
both parties to temporarily resolve the issue.

NTC Commissioner Joseph Santiago, however, gave assurance that interconnection
would take place by middle of next month despite a motion for reconsideration
filed by Smart last week.

"Although this is not yet final and executory, definitely they will still have
to be interconnected by mid-February.
