About GCI: We're all-in on Alaska
Our mission is simple: Connect all Alaskans to friends, family, and greater possibilities. We support Alaskan communities with telecom needs and beyond.
Big plans, small start
It all began in 1979 when Ron Duncan started a small business to provide Alaskans better options in long-distance telephone services. From a small apartment in Anchorage, Duncan — along with two others — introduced GCI: the state's first tech startup that would later grow to become Alaska's most advanced network.
"What made our network possible is the fact that we had people who didn’t have the word ‘no’ in their vocabulary — who took a whole bunch of crazy ideas and then went out and made them real."
-Ron Duncan, GCI CEO
Bridging the Digital Divide in Alaska
Over 40 years later, GCI is proud to have invested $4 billion in its statewide network — including $3.3 billion in the last 20 years. The result: 97% of Alaskans live within GCI's network, and 80% (and growing) have access to our blazing fast 2.5 Gbps internet, providing greater opportunities for telehealth, remote education, and more.
Not only is GCI Alaska's largest internet provider (alongside mobile and other offerings), we're also one of its largest employers with a statewide team more than 1,800 strong.
We contribute our time, effort, and empathy through community support. Giving back to the community in Alaska is at our core. In fact, we donate more than $2 million in cash, scholarships, products, grants, and paid volunteer hours to local Alaska community organizations each year.
