ALSK

Alaska Communications Systems Group Inc

A telecom provider based in Anchorage, Alaska Communications delivers internet, managed IT, and voice services to homes and businesses across the state, running its own fiber network plus an undersea cable that links Alaska to the lower forty-eight. It was born in 1998 when investors pulled together the state's scattered phone operations once owned by the U.S. Army. Its name echoes the historic Alaska Communication System, a telegraph network the Army Signal Corps built in 1900 to connect the territory's far-flung settlements.
