Good article in today's Anchorage Daily News on GCI's new fiber - AUWest. AuWest will run between Seward and Warrenton, Oregon. It will complete our fiber ring and provide redundancy for AUEast - our first fiber. Work began this week (today actually) on laying the cable.
Richard, my boss, discusses AUWest's economic rationale 2/3's the way down the article. The current market for new fiber construction is quite depressed, so we were able to get a very good deal - $50 million as opposed to over $100 million a few years ago.
Oh, and Bruce R., also mentioned in the article, is a major buddy of mine.
