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.
