WASHINGTON, August 15, 2024 – In an effort to enhance broadband connectivity in one of the world’s most remote regions, a major telecommunications company has called for updates to a program supporting high-cost broadband deployment in Alaska.

Representatives from GCI Communication Corp., a leading telecom provider in Alaska, met with Federal Communications Commission staff Monday to discuss the Alaska Connect Fund. They advocated for revisions that would better support the expansion of broadband services in Alaska’s remote and underserved areas.
