      Telecommunications Venture Company - LATVCO.


2.Based
      on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement
      of
      a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
      statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
      were
      made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
      report;


3. 
      Based on my knowledge, the financial statements and other financial information
      included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects
      the
      financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the registrant
      as
      of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;


4.
      The
      registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing
      and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
      Act
      Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) for the registrant and have:


a)
      designed  such  disclosure  controls  and 
procedures  to ensure  that material  information 
relating  to  the  registrant,   including  its
      consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known to us by others within those
      entities,  particularly  during  the  period in which 
this  quarterly report is being prepared;


b)
      *;


c)
      evaluated the  effectiveness of the small business issuer’s 
disclosure  controls  and procedures and presented in this report our
      conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,
      as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
      and


d)
      disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuer’s internal
      control over financial reporting that occurred during the small business
      issuer’s most recent fiscal quarter (The small business issuer’s fiscal fourth
      quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
      reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business issuer’s internal
      control over financial reporting;


5.
      The
      registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our most
      recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of
      the
      registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
      functions);


a)
      all  significant  deficiencies  in the design or operation of
      internal  controls  which could  adversely  affect the 
registrant's  ability to record,  process,  summarize, 
and  report  financial  data  and  have identified for
      the  registrant's  auditors any material  weaknesses in internal
      controls; and


b)
      any
      fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
      employees who have a  significant  role in the 
registrant's  internal controls; and


6.The
      registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this quarterly
      report whether or not there were significant changes in internal controls or
      in
      other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent
      to
      the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions, with
      regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
