(2) FTS2001 ********** Services. Upon placement of an ASR for "FTS2001 ********** Services", GCI shall make arrangements with the local LEC to redirect ("PIC") the originating and terminating traffic from the authorized government agency location designated in the ASR to the nearest GCI POP. GCI shall then transport all originating and terminating FTS2001 ********** Service going to GCI's nearest POP to either (i) MWNS' Seattle switch along trunk groups dedicated to MWNS or (ii) to the designated intrastate end user along as many trunk groups dedicated to MWNS as possible (e.g., if the designated end user is not another FTS2001 End User then the traffic will be terminated from the last GCI POP connected to a dedicated circuit over non-dedicated circuits). Such dedicated trunk groups shall include, but not be limited to, trunks between GCI's Fairbanks switch and GCI's Anchorage switch, GCI's Juneau switch and GCI's anchorage switch and GCI's Anchorage switch and MWNS' Seattle switch. Trunks supporting Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau must support ********** [CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN REDACTED FROM THIS DOCUMENT WHICH THE COMPANY DESIRES TO KEEP UNDISCLOSED AND A COPY OF THE UNREDACTED DOCUMENT WILL BE FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.] 2 capability for switched data and video applications in order to support ********** services. Pricing for dedicated access services between an FTS2001 End User and the nearest GCI POP, between an FTS2001 End User and an FTS End User and use of the dedicated trunks along GCI's backbone network or any combination thereof shall be set forth in Schedule B. (3) FTS2001 ********** Services. In the event that MWNS orders ********** services in support of GSA FTS2001 government contract ("FTS ********** Service"), GCI shall provide the ********** services along FTS2001 ********** Services which support ********** capability for switched data and video applications. All FTS2001 ********** Service to be transported to the MWNS Seattle switch must be interconnected from GCI's POP to MWNS' Seattle switch via dedicated trunks without echo cancellation.

GCI shall also provide all other services listed in Section 2 of the Agreement to FTS2001 End Users via FTS2001 ********** and ********** Services as designated by MWNS ("FTS2001 General Services"). All FTS2001 General Services shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement regarding such services described in Section 2; provided, however, the pricing applicable to such FTS2001 General Services shall be governed by the pricing set forth in Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated herein. (FTS2001 ********** Services, FTS2001 ********** Services, FTS2001 ********** Services and FTS2001 General Services shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as "FTS2001 Service"). (5) GCI agrees to support MWNS' private network 700 number dialing plan for all designated FTS2001 Service. (b) FTS2001 Service Ordering. To order FTS2001 Service to be furnished at FTS2001 locations, MWNS shall submit an ASR to GCI, including the requested in-service date for the FTS2001 Service (the "Requested In-Service Date"). All ASRs shall designate the FTS2001 End User and the requested FTS2001 Service. Within five (5) business days after receipt of the ASR, GCI shall issue a Firm Order Commitment (a "FOC") to MWNS. GCI shall use its best efforts to ensure that the FTS2001 Service is tested and accepted by MWNS and is available for MWNS' use by the Requested In-Service Date. MWNS shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel an ASR, without incurring any termination liability, at any time (a) prior to the Requested In-Service Date, or (b) after the Requested In-Service Date in the event the FTS2001 Service is not tested, accepted and available for MWNS' use by such date. If the FTS2001 Service is not tested, accepted and available for MWNS' use by the Requested In-Service Date and MWNS chooses not to cancel the ASR, GCI will credit to MWNS, against the first invoice(s) due hereunder, an amount equal to the prorated daily billing that would have been payable for such FTS2001 Service for each day the FTS2001 Service is unavailable to MWNS after the Requested In-Service Date. [CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN REDACTED FROM THIS DOCUMENT WHICH THE COMPANY DESIRES TO KEEP UNDISCLOSED AND A COPY OF THE UNREDACTED DOCUMENT WILL BE FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.] 3 (c) FTS2001 Service Pricing. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the prices MWNS pays to GCI for the above-described FTS2001 Service shall be at the rates set forth in the attached Schedule B. The costs associated with each FTS ********** and ********** Service from an FTS2001 End User designated on an ASR shall vary by the type of call and its originating and terminating locations as more specifically set forth in Schedule B. All Private Line and Frame Relay revenue generated from FTS2001 Service shall be applied to all applicable volume discount calculations set forth in the Agreement. (1) The charges for FTS2001 Service will begin to accrue on the later to occur of (a) the Requested In-Service Date, or (b) the date on which the FTS2001 Service has been tested and accepted by MWNS and is available for MWNS' use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if MWNS is unable, due to Customer or other delays, to make use of FTS2001 Service at a FTS2001 End User at the time charges would begin to accrue pursuant to the preceding sentence, MWNS shall have the option to either (i) instruct GCI to disconnect the affected circuit(s), without incurring termination liability, or (b) defer the accrual of charges and commencement of billing for not more than thirty (30) days. MWNS shall have the right at any time during such thirty (30) day period to instruct GCI to disconnect the affected circuit(s), without incurring termination liability. (2) The non-recurring fee set forth in Schedule B will be included in the first monthly invoice submitted to MWNS with respect to the FTS2001 Service; provided, however, that GCI shall not charge MWNS any non-recurring or installation charges for FTS2001 Service ordered within the year of 1999. (3) GCI and MWNS agree to review and audit the traffic mix and applicable revenue derived from FTS2001 Service ordered pursuant to this Fifth Amendment six (6) months after the execution of this Fifth Amendment with the intent to negotiate, in good faith, a fixed rate for FTS2001 Service. (d) FTS2001 Service Testing and Acceptance. The FTS2001 Service shall be tested and accepted in accordance with the Specifications and the testing acceptance criteria set forth in the Schedule C attached hereto and incorporated herein. GCI shall promptly notify the MWNS representative identified on Schedule C that the interconnection between MWNS' facilities and GCI's facilities is complete and that the FTS2001 Service is available for testing. The notice may be given by facsimile, electronic mail or telephone at the numbers specified on Schedule C. The notice shall identify the place where the test (or retest) will take place and the date and time of the test (or retest), which date and time shall be not less than two (2) business days after notification. MWNS shall have the right to have a representative present during the testing. GCI shall make the FTS2001 Service available for use upon receipt of MWNS' final acceptance of the test results. (e) Interruptions. The FTS2001 Service shall meet the applicable [CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN REDACTED FROM THIS DOCUMENT WHICH THE COMPANY DESIRES TO KEEP UNDISCLOSED AND A COPY OF THE UNREDACTED DOCUMENT WILL BE FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.] 4 Specifications and shall be provided in accordance with industry standards. In the event that the FTS2001 Service fails to meet the Specifications, MWNS may be entitled to receive a credit as set forth below. An Interruption shall be measured from the time that the Interruption starts to the time of full compliance with the applicable Specifications. For the purpose of calculating the duration of an Interruption, the parties agree to use GCI's maintenance log and any other relevant reports of either MWNS or GCI. (1) MWNS shall be entitled to receive a credit in the event of an Interruption in the FTS2001 Service. Except as set forth in subsection (3) below, the amount of the credit per FTS2001 circuit shall be as follows: Length of Interruption Credit ----------------------- ------ Less than 2 hours 4 hours Each additional 2 hour period or fraction thereof 4 hours The dollar value of the credit, if any, to be applied against GCI's invoice for each billing month shall be determined by adding together the products of (a) the number of credit hours to which MWNS is entitled for Interruption(s) in each circuit, multiplied by (b) the pro rata hourly cost to MWNS of such circuit during the month in which the Interruption(s) occurred. Multiple Interruptions in a circuit shall be aggregated for purposes of determining the total credit hours to which MWNS is entitled under this subsection (1). (2) Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or this Fifth Amendment to the contrary, if any FTS2001 Service fails to meet the Specifications for any consecutive twenty-four (24) hour period, or for more than five percent (5%) of the time over a consecutive thirty (30) day period, MWNS may immediately terminate such FTS2001 Service, at MWNS' sole discretion, without incurring any termination liability. In the event of any such termination, GCI will reimburse MWNS for any and all installation charges MWNS incurs in obtaining replacement services by an alternate method; provided, however, that such charges shall not exceed the then prevailing rates charged by the ILEC for comparable FTS2001 Service. (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, MWNS shall be entitled to receive a credit equal to one (1) month's service in the event that there is an Interruption equal to or greater than one (1) minute during a particular month at a GCI location serviced by a **********. The credit will be applicable to all FTS2001 Service affected by the Interruption. In no event, however, shall MWNS' credit for any Interruption during a particular month at a location serviced by a ********** exceed one (1) month, regardless of the actual number of Interruptions during that particular month.

The program includes long distance (domestic and non-domestic), and local (MAA contracts) telecommunications service requirements. The Government's authorized users include: All Federal agencies; authorized Federal contractors; agency-sponsored universities and laboratories; and as authorized by law or regulation, state, local, and tribal Governments, and other organizations. All organizations listed in GSA Order ADM 4800.2D (as updated) are eligible. The term of each FTS2001 contract is ********** basic contract period with ********** option periods of ********** each. The contracts also include provisions for internal competitive contract administration actions (Price Re-determination), at the Government's discretion. This Statement of Work will be reviewed by both GCI and MCIW concurrent with Government renewals or contract administrative changes. Services to be acquired by Government users from MCIW include: circuit switched services (switch voice, circuit switch data, 800 and 900 services), switched data services (Packet Switched, Frame Relay, ATM and Internet Protocol services), and dedicated transmission services (private lines). The services to be provided by GCI in Alaska include ********** Services, **********, and **********. These services are discussed in more detail in Section 3.0. MCI WorldCom has a Program Management team in place that has been addressing the FTS2001 requirements, issues and tasks included in the FTS2001 contract. In addition, MCI WorldCom's FTS2001 Program Management Team has guided and managed all the inter-organization coordination, schedules and meetings as they design, develop, and plan the transition and implementation of the FTS2001 program requirements. GCI will play a major role in supporting MCI WorldCom in managing and performing the tasks for FTS2001 service requirements to/from Alaska. [CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN REDACTED FROM THIS DOCUMENT WHICH THE COMPANY DESIRES TO KEEP UNDISCLOSED AND A COPY OF THE UNREDACTED DOCUMENT WILL BE FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.] 2.0 OBJECTIVE The purpose of this SOW is to define the process and procedures required by MCI WorldCom and GCI to support the delivery of Government agency's FTS2001 SVS (On and OffNet voice), ********** and ********** requirements in Alaska. Delivery and support for Frame Relay and Inter-State PL service will follow the commercial agreements in place between MCIW and GCI. 3.0 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION GCI will act as MCI WorldCom's agent in Alaska for the provision of FTS2001 services as defined in this Statement of Work. In general this includes: a) Arranging for dedicated access facilities where ordered between Government agency locations subscribing to MCI WorldCom's FTS2001 services and the nearest GCI POP (Juneau, Anchorage, Fairbanks). GCI will comply with the FTS2001 contract by accepting Government customer provided access, where required. b) Providing circuit switching for voice and circuit switched data calls within Alaska. c) Supporting toll free originating and terminating traffic in Alaska. 800 number portability, under the control of the LEC SMS database, will also be supported. d) Transporting originating 900 traffic from Alaska to MCI WorldCom by routing on the 900-NXX number ranges assigned to MCI WorldCom. e) Supporting frame relay traffic and inter-state PL to/from Alaska via existing commercial service arrangements between MCI WorldCom and GCI. f) Supporting 700 number dial plans. 3.1 Specific responsibilities for switched voice and circuit switched data services include: a) For subscribing FTS2001 users who are behind LEC Centrex switches, GCI shall: - Accept calls from the Centrex switch via a dedicated trunk group, or - Accept calls from the Centrex switch via a shared trunk group and identify MCI WorldCom subscribers on the basis of ANI or calling line ID in the signaling setup message. MCI WorldCom would be responsible for providing GCI with the authorized list of ANIs. - Terminate calls from MCI WorldCom FTS2001 users via the same trunks. b) GCI shall act as MCI WorldCom's agent to contact LECs in equal access areas in Alaska such that subscribing FTS2001 users will be repointed (PIC'd) to GCI's access trunk groups. Calls from these virtual on-net users will be routed according to the mutually agreed upon FTS2001 routing plan. Since MCI WorldCom has no PIC in Alaska, the GCI PIC will be used to provide MCIW FTS2001 service. [CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN REDACTED FROM THIS DOCUMENT WHICH THE COMPANY DESIRES TO KEEP UNDISCLOSED AND A COPY OF THE UNREDACTED DOCUMENT WILL BE FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.] c) Non-equal access areas, within Alaska, will be served using the FTS2001 calling card. d) In the three major cities in Alaska (Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau), GCI will support PRI ISDN access trunks to subscribing FTS2001 users. These trunks must support ********** capability for switched data and video applications. GCI shall support MCI WorldCom's FTS2001 dialing plan, which will include the use of private network 700 numbers.

GCI will notify and work with the MCIW agency specific account teams as required. MCI WorldCom will provide the following information to assist with GCI's FTS2001 sales efforts: - Electronic Files containing FTS2001 pricing information - Access to FTSNet - Price Quote Tool: Enables GCI reps to develop price quotes for FTS2001 service on-line - access: Enable GCI to view order information - Any other applications to support sales efforts - MCIW Agency Specific account team points of contact - MCIW Business Office points of contact - Manages contract changes, modifications, multi-year and complex pricing requests - Manage GCI Statement of Work MCI WorldCom will advise GCI of ongoing contract modifications and price changes, when possible, at least 30 days in advance of implementation of the modification or change. 4.2 Service Ordering The customer service ordering process for Alaska services defined in this SOW will be consistent with the service ordering process for FTS2001 services offered in the lower 48 states. Government users will be able to initiate service orders using a standard template via the FTSNet, web site, email, verbally or by facsimile. Copies and descriptions of these order forms are available at the FTS2001 website (www.mciwcomgovt.com). - Government users may request FTS2001 service in Alaska through MCIW directly or via GCI. Orders may be initiated via the following means: - FTSNet: Government users that have been authorized and registered may enter orders directly to MCIW, on-line via FTSNet. - Facsimile: Government users may fax orders to: 888-HELP 2K1 (888-435-7251) - E-mail: Government users may attach order templates to e-mail messages and send to: ftssvc1@wcom.com - GCI: Government users may submit orders to the GCI/FTS2001 Account Representatives. GCI must submit the order to MCI WorldCom COB receipt of order date via facsimile as defined above. - This set of standard service order intervals adheres to standard commercial intervals for MCI's best commercial customers. The service order intervals begin the next business day following service order notification. Table 3.9.4.1-1. Standard Service Order Intervals - Mandatory Services * Service Standard Interval Standard Interval (With Telco)/business (Without Telco) days Circuit Switched Switched voice 19-25 days 7-12 days Circuit switched data 19-25 days 7-12 days Toll-free service 19-25 days 7-12 days 900 service 19-25 days 7-12 days Switched Data Frame relay 36-41 days with MCI 15-20 days provided routers; 22-27 days with Government provided routers Dedicated Transmission 19-24 days* 11-16 days *Note: Service order intervals associated with the transition process will adhere to the agreed upon Transition Plan. **DS3 requests evaluated on an ICB. Note: Disconnect orders and orders without telco loops are 30 days from service order notification. - - All received orders will be entered into the centralized FTS ordering system, OrderMCI, and managed through to implementation by MCIW's Program Office. When the Government submits a service request to MCI WorldCom for service(s) in Alaska: - MCI WorldCom will verify that the individual requesting the service is authorized to request that type of service. - Review the request data for completeness. - If the service request is for services and/or equipment that are fully defined and priced, MCI WorldCom will immediately assign a service order number and issue the service order for processing by GCI. - All FTS2001 orders will be captured and tracked in MCI WorldCom's centralized service order tracking system. GCI will provide the MCIW Program Office with the information necessary to support the required order status notifications. Information required includes the following:The Service Order Notification message will contain pertinent information including the OrderMCI Service Order ID number, agency service request number, relevant technical information, service initiation charges and other costing data, and the expected implementation date. - When Government involvement is required to support the installation or removal of equipment, and the due date is more than 10 days in the future, GCI must advise MCIW to enable MCI WorldCom to notify the LGC or the DAR of required Government actions as soon as possible and at least 10 business days prior to the required Government action. This notification will allow MCI WorldCom to comply with the installation or removal due date. GCI will provide the MCI WorldCom PMO with any Firm Order Commitment dates/changes upon receipt. - Within 24 hours of service order completion, GCI will provide the information necessary to enable the dedicated Account Team Service Order specialist to notify the Government representatives identified in the service order that implementation is complete by generating and transmitting a Service Order Completion Notice. This message will identify all costs billed to the Government, including any discounted or waived costs including SIC charges, if waived, that are known for that billing period. MCI WorldCom will initiate billing for the service on the Effective Billing Date (EBD), contained within the Service Order Notification Message. This date may directly correspond to Government acceptance testing of the service. For successful 72-hour acceptance testing, billing will begin upon completion of acceptance testing. Billing will not occur for services that do not pass acceptance testing. Billing will cease for any service disconnects on the approved or accepted disconnect date and upon issuance of a notification to the requester. The Government will have the option of requesting service for an interval less than the stated standard interval of that service. GCI will make every effort to support expedited order requests and will advise MCIW of any associated charges above and beyond those outlined in the GCI/MCIW contract. The Government requires special ordering and handling for NSEP (National Security Emergency Preparedness). GCI will make every effort to support and manage these services as described in the FTS2001 contract and will provide MCIW the information needed to meet the Government's requirements. 4.2.1 Switched Voice Service (PICs) The MCIW/GCI account teams will follow the standard procedures for PIC service by acquiring the Letter of Agreement (LOA) from the customer. The MCIW account team member or designated MCIW representative will forward the LOA along with the form required by GCI authorizing GCI to act as MCIW's agent requesting the PICs to GCI for MCIW. The PIC forms and associated information (NPA/NXXs, agency, agency hierarchy code, etc.,) will be submitted to the GCI Carrier Account Manager. MCIW will provide a point of contact and an order number, per order, to GCI. GCI Marketing will perform the following once the PIC orders are received: - - Upon receipt of PIC orders from MCIW, GCI will review orders to determine which NPA/NXXs are in equal access areas and non-equal access areas. GCI will notify the MCIW account team of requests in non-equal access areas. The MCIW account team will work with the customer to order calling card service to provide service in these areas. - - GCI will advise MCIW of the GCI FTS20001 Agency account for billing to MCI WorldCom. - - MCIW and GCI will reconcile ANI inventory information based on customer provided information, LEC provided information and GCI provided information - - GCI will implement the PIC changes with the local telco's. - - GCI will notify the MCIW PMO upon PIC completion and will assist with customer testing as necessary. 4.2.2 Switched Voice: ISDN/PRI 4.2.3 Inter-State Private Lines and Frame Relay: MCIW and GCI will follow the procedures agreed upon to support commercial services. 4.3 BILLING 4.3.1 Intra-Alaska Calls: - GCI will provide rated call detail records to MCIW no later than the 5th calendar day of the month following the traffic period.

GCI will implement any required rate changes within 30 calendar days of notification from MCIW. - GCI will provide flat files of print ready information to MCIW containing the Summary of Amount Due, and Usage Summary by Location reports. The reports will contain the Government defined Agency Hierarchy Code, MCI WorldCom provided Account Numbers, i.e., Corporate ID, BillPayer ID, OBUS Account Number, as well as the customer name. These files will be provided no later than the 5th calendar day of the month following the traffic period. Long Term Billing Solution: MCIW and GCI will establish a working team to address the long term solution. 4.3.2 Billing Disputes MCI WorldCom will act as the interface to receive FTS2001 customer billing disputes. FTS users may initiate a billing dispute by initiating a ticket in FTSNet, contacting the Customer Service Office (888-FTS-SVC1) or contacting their MCIW/GCI account team. GCI will support any billing dispute inquires, as required, for GCI provided services. MCIW will coordinate and manage the resolution of all billing disputes and will maintain responsibility for any customer facing activity. 4.4 NETWORK MANAGEMENT The Technical Service Center (TSC) in Cary, NC is MCI WorldCom's primary network management center for monitoring FTS2001 networks. The TSC will be supported by GCI's Network Operation Center (NOC). Network Service Affecting Events relating to MCIW Services supported by GCI will be coordinated by GCI NOC with MCIW's TSC. The TSC can be reached by calling 1-800-FTS-SVC1. Planned network events that effect all services will be communicated to the MCIW TSC via email and telephone no less than 48 hours before the event occurs. Maintenance events that result in an outage shall be scheduled with MCIW via email and telephone communications on average of fourteen (14) days (but no less than seven (7) days) before the event. Unplanned network events such as equipment failures and weather related outages shall be communicated to MCIW's TSC as soon as possible via either email and/or telephone communications. The primary interface with the Government will be through MCI WorldCom. GCI will provide data to MCI WorldCom to support its interface to the Government. GCI NOC will be available 24x7. 4.5 REPORTING This section identifies the items that GCI shall provide to MCIW. In this section, the items GCI provides are called "deliverables." GCI shall provide the deliverables in the media specified by MCIW. See Section C.3.2.7 Data Requirements for the Government's requirements regarding the use of off-line media format. GCI shall provide the deliverables in "calendar" days unless otherwise specified. The deliverables include the items listed in Attachment 1, Schedule F attached hereto. GCI shall provide all the deliverables listed in Attachment 1, Schedule F to MCIW's FTS2001 CDRL Manager, unless the Manager specifies an alternate and/or secondary delivery location. GCI shall reference the "Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) #", the "Section", and the "Description", as provided in Attachment 1, Schedule F for any correspondence, information, label and/or title that designates a deliverable. CDRL # identification for all deliverables shall be: "M-CDRL(number from Attachment 1)-(mmddyy)". The "M" in front of "CDRL#" is a subcontractor identifier. The "(mmddyy)" shall be assigned by GCI and shall represent the deliverable's delivery date to the Government. Examples of CDRL #'s: One Time Deliverables: M-CDRL0166-032599 is contract deliverable "Transition Verification Test Plan" (CDRL # 0166) with a represented delivery date to the Government of March (03) 25th (25), 1999 (99). Reoccurring Deliverables: M-CDRL0140-020900 is contract deliverable "Contract Modification Status Report" (CDRL # 0140) with a represented delivery date to the Government of February (02) 9th (09), 2000 (00). This is a monthly reoccurring deliverable. The next occurrence of the deliverable will be in the month of March and the CDRL # could be, "M-CDRL0140-031000", contract deliverable "Contract Modification Status Report" (CDRL # 0140) with a represented delivery date to the Government of March (03) 10th (10), 2000 (00). The first part of the CDRL # for this deliverable will always remain the same, "M-CDRL0140-", since it will always represent the deliverable "Contract Modification Status Report". The last part of the CDRL #, "-mmddyy", will change with each monthly submission of the deliverable. This same principle applies for any reoccurring deliverable whether it is a weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual. If the deliverable occurs more than once for any reason this CDRL numbering scheme shall be applied. 4.6 TROUBLE REPORTING/CUSTOMER INQUIRIES MCI WorldCom will act as the primary interface for Government users and will provide the support required by the FTS2001 contract. GCI's NOC will act as an extension of MCI's TSC by providing technical support, inventory management, and tracking capability for MCI WorldCom's Alaska FTS2001 services.

GCI's NOC will address all Trouble Ticket inquires for all Alaska locations by MCIW and will work with MCIW to follow NSTHS. Appendix C attached hereto contains 1st-3rd Level GCI contacts available 7x24 by pager. Network Service Affecting Events relating to MCIW Services supported by GCI will be coordinated by GCI NOC with MCIW's TSC. The TSC can be reached by calling 1-888-FTS-SVC1. Planned network events that effect all services will be communicated to the MCIW TSC via email and telephone no less than 48 hours before the event occurs. Maintenance events that result in an outage shall be scheduled with MCIW via email and telephone communications on average of fourteen (14) days (but no less than seven (7) days) before the event. Unplanned network events such as equipment failures and weather related outages shall be communicated to the MCIW's TSC as soon as possible via either email and/or telephone communications. 5.0 PLANNING AND ENGINEERING GCI will provide planning and engineering support to ensure that appropriate network services will be available to meet evolving Government requirements. These activities will include the following: - Ensuring network wide interoperability with other sub-contractors (i.e. LECs, etc.,) as well as Government and commercial networks, where the Government requires such interoperability. - Developing and maintaining a contingency and restoration plan that prevents deterioration of network services. 6.0 TRANSITION, MIGRATION AND IMPLEMENTATION Transition, Migration and Implementation will be as defined in the FTS2001 Alaska TMI SOW.
