Information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this Annual Report. In addition, information that we file with the SEC in the future will automatically update and supersede information contained in this Annual Report.

Glossary

We and our industry use many terms and acronyms that may not be familiar to you. To assist you in reading this document, we have provided below definitions of some of these terms.

AULP East — An undersea fiber optic cable system connecting Whittier, Valdez and Juneau, Alaska and Seattle, Washington, which was placed into service in February 1999.

AULP West — A new undersea fiber optic cable system connecting Seward, Alaska to Warrenton, Oregon which was placed into service in June 2004.

Basic Service — The basic service tier includes, at a minimum, signals of local television broadcast stations, any public, educational, and governmental programming required by the franchise to be carried on the basic tier, and any additional video programming service added to the basic tier by the cable operator.

Collocation — The ability of a competitive access provider or CLEC to connect its network to the LEC’s central offices. Physical collocation occurs when a connecting carrier places its network connection equipment inside the LEC’s central offices. Virtual collocation is an alternative to physical collocation pursuant to which the LEC permits a competitive access provider or CLEC to connect its network to the LEC’s central offices on comparable terms, even though the competitive access provider’s or CLEC’s network connection equipment is not physically located inside the central offices.

DAMA — Demand Assigned Multiple Access — Digital satellite earth station technology that allows calls to be made between remote villages using only one satellite hop thereby reducing satellite delay and capacity requirements while improving quality.

The major providers of DBS are currently The DirecTV Group, Inc. and EchoStar Communications Corporation (marketed as the DISH Network).

DLC — Digital Loop Carrier — A digital transmission system designed for subscriber loop plant. Multiplexes a plurality of circuits onto very few wires or onto a single fiber pair.

DLPS — Digital Local Phone Service — A term we use referring to our deployment of voice telephone service utilizing our hybrid-fiber coax cable facilities.

DSL — Digital Subscriber Line — Technology that allows Internet access and other high-speed data services at data transmission speeds greater than those of modems over conventional telephone lines.

DVR — Digital Video Recorder — A service that allows digital cable subscribers select, record and store programs and play them at whatever time is convenient. DVR service also provides the ability to pause and rewind “live” television.

Equal Access — Connection provided by a LEC permitting a customer to be automatically connected to the interexchange carrier of the customer’s choice when the customer dials “1.” Also refers to a generic concept under which the Bell system operating companies (“BOC”) must provide access services to AT&T’s competitors that are equivalent to those provided to AT&T.

ETC — Eligible Telecommunications Carrier — A telephone service provider that has agreed to hold out service to all customers (excluding those who fail to pay for service) in the area for which the carrier is designated as an ETC. In return, the carrier is eligible for state and federal universal service funds.

FCC — Federal Communications Commission — A federal regulatory body empowered to establish and enforce rules and regulations governing public utility companies and others, such as the Company.

Frame Relay — A wideband (64 kilobits per second to 1.544 Mbps) packet-based data interface standard that transmits bursts of data over WANs. Frame-relay packets vary in length from 7 to 1024 bytes. Data oriented, it is generally not used for voice or video.

GCI — General Communication, Inc. — An Alaska corporation and the Registrant.

HDTV — High-Definition Television — A digital television format delivering theater-quality pictures and CD-quality sound. HDTV offers an increase in picture quality by providing up to 1,920 active horizontal pixels by 1,080 active scanning lines, representing an image resolution of more than two million pixels. In addition to providing improved picture quality with more visible detail, HDTV offers a wide screen format and Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound.

ILEC — Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier — With respect to an area, the LEC that — (A) on the date of enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, provided telephone exchange service in such area; and (B)(i) on such date of enactment, was deemed to be a member of the exchange carrier association pursuant to section 69.601(b) of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) regulations (47 C.F.R. 69.601(b)); or (ii) is a person or entity that, on or after such date of enactment, became a successor or assign of a member described in clause (i).

Interexchange — Communication between two different local access and transport areas or, in Alaska, between two different local exchange serving areas.

IP — Internet Protocol — The method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet. Each computer (known as a host) on the Internet has at least one IP address that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet.

ISDN — Integrated Services Digital Network — A set of standards for transmission of simultaneous voice, data and video information over fewer channels than would otherwise be needed, through the use of out-of-band signaling. The most common ISDN system provides one data and two voice circuits over a traditional copper wire pair, but can represent as many as 30 channels. Broadband ISDN extends the ISDN capabilities to services in the Gigabit per second range.

ISP — Internet Service Provider — A company providing retail and/or wholesale Internet services.

LAN — Local Area Network — The interconnection of computers for sharing files, programs and various devices such as printers and high-speed modems. LANs may include dedicated computers or file servers that provide a centralized source of shared files and programs.

LEC — Local Exchange Carrier — A company providing local telephone services. Each BOC is a LEC.

LMDS — Local Multipoint Distribution System — LMDS uses microwave signals (millimeter wave signals) in the 28 GHz spectrum to transmit voice, video, and data signals within small cells 3-10 miles in diameter. LMDS allows license holders to control up to 1.3 GHz of wireless spectrum in the 28 GHz Ka-band. The 1.3 GHz can be used to carry digital data at speeds in excess of one gigabit per second. The extremely high frequency used and the need for point to multipoint transmissions limits the distance that a receiver can be from a transmitter. This means that LMDS will be a “cellular” technology, based on multiple, contiguous, or overlapping cells. LMDS is expected to provide customers with multichannel video programming, telephony, video communications, and two-way data services. ILECs and cable companies may not obtain the in-region 1150 MHz license for three years following the date of the license grant. Within 10 years following the date of the license grant, licensees will be required to provide ‘substantial service’ in their service regions.

Local Exchange — A geographic area generally determined by a state regulatory body, in which calls generally are transmitted without toll charges to the calling or called party.

Local Number Portability — The ability of an end user to change local or wireless service providers while retaining the same telephone number.

Lower 48 States or Lower 48 — Refers to the 48 contiguous states south of or below Alaska.

Lower 49 States or Lower 49 — Refers to Hawaii and the Lower 48 States.

MAN — Metropolitan Area Network — LANs interconnected within roughly a 50-mile radius. MANs typically use fiber optic cable to connect various wire LANs. Transmission speeds may vary from 2 to 100 Mbps.

Mat-Su Valley — The Matanuska and Susitna valleys are located in south-central Alaska, to the north of Anchorage, and include the communities of Palmer and Wasilla and the immediately surrounding areas.

PCS — Personal Communication Services — PCS encompasses a range of advanced wireless mobile technologies and services. It promises to permit communications to anyone, anywhere and anytime while on the move. The Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association defines PCS as a “wide range of wireless mobile technologies, chiefly cellular, paging, cordless, voice, personal communications networks, mobile data, wireless private branch exchange, specialized mobile radio, and satellite-based systems.” The Federal Communications Commission defines PCS as a “family of mobile or portable radio communications services that encompasses mobile and ancillary fixed communications services to individuals and businesses and can be integrated with a variety of competing networks.”

Private Line — Uses dedicated circuits to connect customer’s equipment at both ends of the line. Does not provide any switching capability (unless supported by customer premise equipment). Usually includes two local loops and an interexchange carrier circuit.

Private Network — A communications network with restricted (controlled) access usually made up of Private Lines (with some private branch exchange switching).

RCA — Regulatory Commission of Alaska — A state regulatory body empowered to establish and enforce rules and regulations governing public utility companies and others, such as the Company, within the State of Alaska (sometimes referred to as Public Service Commissions, or PSCs, or Public Utility Commissions, or PUCs).

SchoolAccess^® — Our Internet and related services offering to schools in Alaska, and some sites in Arizona, Montana and New Mexico. The federal mandate through the 1996 Telecom Act to provide universal service resulted in schools across Alaska qualifying for varying levels of discounts to support the provision of Internet services. The Universal Service Administrative Company through its Schools and Libraries Division administers this federal program.

SDN — Software Defined Network — A switched long-distance service for very large users with multiple locations. Instead of putting together their own network, large users can get special usage rates for calls carried on regular switched long-distance lines.

SMATV — Satellite Master Antenna Television — (Also known as “private cable systems”) are multichannel video programming distribution systems that serve residential, multiple-dwelling units, and various other buildings and complexes. A SMATV system typically offers the same type of programming as a cable system, and the operation of a SMATV system largely resembles that of a cable system — a satellite dish receives the programming signals, equipment processes the signals, and wires distribute the programming to individual dwelling units. The primary difference between the two is that a SMATV system typically is an unfranchised, stand-alone system that serves a single building or complex, or a small number of buildings or complexes in relatively close proximity to each other.

SONET — Synchronous Optical Network — A 1984 standard for optical fiber transmission on the public network. 51.84 Mbps to 9.95 Gigabits per second, effective for ISDN services including asynchronous transfer mode.

T-1 — A data communications circuit capable of transmitting data at 1.5 Mbps.

TCP/IP — Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol — A suite of network protocols that allows computers with different architectures and operating system software to communicate with other computers on the Internet.

UNE — Unbundled Network Element — A discrete component of a telephone network. Unbundled network elements are the basic network functions, i.e., the components needed to provide a full range of communications services. They are physical facilities as well as all the features and capabilities provided by those facilities.

VoIP – Voice over Internet Protocol — Technology that allows voice telephone service over broadband Internet connections via digital packets rather than traditional protocols.

VSAT — Very Small Aperture Terminal — A small, sometimes portable satellite terminal that allows connection via a satellite link.

WAN — Wide Area Network — A remote computer communications system. WANs allow file sharing among geographically distributed workgroups (typically at higher cost and slower speed than LANs or MANs). WANs typically use common carriers’ circuits and networks. WANs may serve as a customized communication backbone that interconnects all of an organization’s local networks with communications trunks that are designed to be appropriate for anticipated communication rates and volumes between nodes.

1984 Cable Act — The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984.

1992 Cable Act — The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992.

1996 Telecom Act — The Telecommunications Act of 1996 — The 1996 Telecom Act was signed into law February 8, 1996. Under its provisions, BOCs were allowed to immediately begin manufacturing, research and development; GTE Corp. could begin providing interexchange services through its telephone companies nationwide; laws in 27 states that foreclosed competition were pre empted; co-carrier status for CLECs was ratified; and the physical collocation of competitors’ facilities in LECs central offices was allowed.

The purpose of the 1996 Telecom Act was to move from a regulated monopoly model of telecommunications to a deregulatory competitive markets model. The act eliminated the old barriers that prevented three groups of companies, the LECs, including the BOCs, the long-distance carriers, and the cable TV operators, from competing head-to-head with each other. The act requires LECs to let new competitors into their business. It also requires the LECs to open up their networks to ensure that new market entrants have a fair chance of competing. The bulk of the act is devoted to establishing the terms under which the LECs must open up their networks.

The 1996 Telecom Act substantially changed the competitive and regulatory environment for telecommunications providers by significantly amending the Communications Act of 1934 including certain of the rate regulation provisions previously imposed by the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the “1992 Cable Act”). The 1996 Telecom Act eliminated rate regulation of the cable programming service tier in 1999. Further, the regulatory environment will continue to change pending, among other things, the outcome of legal challenges, legislative activity, and FCC rulemaking and enforcement activity in respect of the 1992 Cable Act and the completion of a significant number of continuing FCC rulemakings under the 1996 Telecom Act.

Recent Developments

Alaska DigiTel Acquisition and Loan. We announced on January 4, 2007, that we closed an agreement to invest $29.5 million in Alaska DigiTel, LLC (“Alaska DigiTel”), an Alaska wireless provider, effective January 1, 2007. Our investment in Alaska DigiTel was previously announced and approval was received from the Federal Communications Commission on December 22, 2006. In exchange for our investment, we received a majority equity interest in Alaska DigiTel but do not own voting control of the venture. We acquired our ownership interest as a passive investment and do not plan any further direct business or resale relationships with Alaska DigiTel at this time. Under the agreement, we are not required to make any further investments in Alaska DigiTel. We view our investment as an incremental way to participate in future growth of the wireless industry in Alaska. Our existing distribution agreement with Dobson Communications Corporation (“Dobson”) remains in full effect and our existing cellular products will continue to compete with Alaska DigiTel in the Alaska market. Management of Alaska DigiTel will not change under the agreement.

We also entered into a Loan Agreement dated as of January 2, 2007 with Alaska DigiTel. Under the Loan Agreement, we have made available to Alaska DigiTel a $15.0 million revolving credit facility. The loans under the Loan Agreement are secured by all personal property of Alaska DigiTel and its subsidiaries, and by the membership interests in Alaska DigiTel held by AKD Holdings, LLC. The Loan Agreement provides that the outstanding loans under the revolving credit facility will convert to a term loan on December 31, 2008. Principal on the term loan will be due in quarterly installments beginning March 31, 2009 equal to 1.25% of the term loan, increasing to 2.50% beginning March 31, 2010. The remaining balance of the term loan is due on June 30, 2011.

Development of our Business during the Past Fiscal Year

Stock Repurchase Approvals. Our Board of Directors previously authorized a common stock buyback program for the repurchase of our Class A and Class B common stock in order to reduce our outstanding shares of Class A and Class B common stock. Our Board of Directors authorized us and we obtained permission from our lenders for up to $60.0 million of repurchases through December 31, 2006. We are authorized to continue our stock repurchases of up to $5.0 million per quarter indefinitely and to use stock option exercise proceeds, in our discretion, to repurchase additional shares. If stock repurchases are less than the total approved quarterly amount the difference may be carried forward and used to repurchase additional shares in future quarters. During 2006 we repurchased 2,858,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $34.7 million. We may continue the repurchases for an indefinite period subject to the availability of free cash flow, availability under our credit facilities, and the price of our Class A and Class B common stock. The repurchases have and will continue to comply with the restrictions of SEC Rule 10b-18.

Indefeasible Right of Use (“IRU”) Commitment. On July 31, 2006, through our subsidiary GCI Communication Corp. (“GCC”), we entered into an agreement to purchase an IRU in the Kodiak-Kenai Cable Company, LLC’s marine-based fiber optic cable system linking Anchorage to Kenai, Homer, Kodiak, Narrow Cape on Kodiak Island, and Seward, Alaska. We have committed to purchase a minimum of $8.0 million to $8.5 million in IRU capacity in three installments through 2011. We provisionally accepted a portion of such capacity in December 2006.

Capital Lease Obligation. On March 31, 2006, through our subsidiary GCC we entered into an agreement to lease transponder capacity on Intelsat, Ltd.’s (“Intelsat”) acquired PanAmSat Corporation on June 30, 2006) Galaxy 18 spacecraft that is expected to be launched during 2007. We will also lease capacity on the Horizons 1 satellite, which is owned jointly by Intelsat and JSAT International, Inc. The leased capacity is expected to replace our existing transponder capacity on Intelsat’s Galaxy 10R satellite and other leased capacity when it reaches its end of life.

capital lease obligation and the addition to our property and equipment when the satellite is made available for our use which is expected to occur approximately one month after the expected September 2007 launch.

There is uncertainty whether the Galaxy 18 spacecraft will launch on schedule. The contracted provider of launch services for Galaxy 18 experienced a launch failure on January 20, 2007 that damaged the launch platform. The extent of the damage to the platform and cause of the rocket failure are under investigation. We expect that the launch date will be revised after the failure analyses is completed and the repair schedule is determined. We are working with Intelsat to develop contingency plans that provide for continued satellite service in the event the new launch date extends beyond the Galaxy 10R satellite’s end-of-life.

Narrative Description of our Business

General

We are the largest Alaska-based and operated integrated communications provider. A pioneer in bundled service offerings, we provide facilities-based local and long distance voice, cable video, Internet and data communications services, and resell wireless telephone services, to consumer, network access, commercial and managed broadband customers under our GCI brand.

We generated consolidated revenues of $477.5 million in 2006. We ended the year with approximately 101,000 long-distance accounts, 111,000 local access lines in service, 126,000 basic cable subscribers, 29,000 wireless subscribers, and 105,000 Internet subscribers, including 86,000 cable modem subscribers. A substantial number of our customers subscribe to product bundles that include two or more of our services.

Since our founding in 1979, we have consistently expanded our product portfolio to satisfy our customers’ needs. We have benefited from the attractive and unique demographic and economic characteristics of the Alaskan market. We believe our integrated strategy of providing innovative bundles of voice, video and data services provides us with an advantage over our competitors and will allow us to continue to attract new customers, retain existing customers and expand our addressable market. We hold leading market shares in long-distance, cable video and Internet services and have gained significant market share in local access against an incumbent provider. We are increasing our market share in the wireless services market against the incumbent providers.

Through our focus on long-term results and strategic capital investments, we have consistently grown our revenues and expanded our margins. Our integrated strategy provides us with competitive advantages in addressing the challenges of converging communications, video and broadband markets and has been a key driver of our success. Today, using our extensive communications networks, we provide customers with integrated communications services packages that we believe are unmatched by any other competitor in Alaska.

We operate a broadband communications network that permits the delivery of a seamless integrated bundle of communications, entertainment and information services. We offer a wide array of consumer and commercial communications and entertainment services — including local access telephone, long-distance and wireless communications, cable television, consulting services, network and desktop computing outsourced services, and dial-up, broadband (cable modem, wireless and DSL) and dedicated Internet access services at a wide range of speeds — all under the GCI brand name.

We believe that the size and growth potential of the voice, video and data market, the increasing deregulation of communications services, and the increased convergence of telephony, wireless, and cable services continue to offer us considerable opportunities to integrate our communications, Internet and cable services and expand into communications markets both within and, longer-term, possibly outside of Alaska.

Considerable deregulation has already taken place in the United States because of the 1996 Telecom Act with the barriers to competition between long-distance, local exchange and cable providers being lowered. We believe our continued development of cable video service, local exchange service, Internet services, broadband services, and wireless services leave us well positioned to take advantage of deregulated markets.

Competition in the Communications Industry

There is substantial competition in the communications industry. The traditional dividing lines between providers offering long-distance, local and wireless telephone services, Internet services and video services are increasingly becoming blurred. Through mergers and various service integration and product bundling strategies, major providers, including us, are striving to provide integrated communications service offerings within and across geographic markets. The converging communications industry is competing to deliver service bundles that include voice, broadband Internet access, and video content. We maintain a strong competitive position; however, there is active competition in the sale of substantially all products and services we offer. For more information about competition in each of our reportable segments, you should refer to each section titled “Competition” in “Description of our Business by Reportable Segment” below.

Competitive Strengths

Market Leader. We are Alaska’s leading provider of long-distance, cable television and data and Internet services, as measured by revenues, and we are the second largest local access provider, as measured by local access lines. We attribute our leadership position to our commitment to provide our customers with high-quality products in bundled offerings that maximize their satisfaction.

Advanced Infrastructure and Robust Network Assets. We own and operate advanced networks that provide integrated end-to-end solutions. Our hybrid-fiber coax cable network enables us to offer last-mile broadband connectivity to our customers. Our interstate and undersea fiber optic cable systems connect our major markets in Alaska to the Lower 48 States. We employ satellite transmission for rural intrastate and interstate traffic in markets where terrestrial based network alternatives are not available. We have or expect to be able to obtain satellite transponders to meet our long-term satellite capacity requirements. In our local service markets, we offer services using our own facilities, unbundled network elements and wholesale/resale.

Bundled Service Offerings. Ownership and control of our network and communications assets have enabled us to effectively market bundled service offerings. Bundling facilitates the integration of operations and administrative support to meet the needs of our customers. Our product and service portfolio includes stand-alone offerings and bundled combinations of local and long-distance voice and data services, cable video, broadband (cable modem, fixed wireless and DSL), dedicated Internet access services, mobile wireless and other services.

Well-Recognized Brand Name. Our GCI brand is the oldest brand among major communications providers in Alaska and positively differentiates our services from those of our competitors. We believe our customers associate our brand name with quality products. We continue to benefit from high name recognition and strong customer loyalty, and the majority of our customers purchase multiple services from us. We have been successful in selling new and enhanced products to our customers based on perceived quality of products and brand recognition.

Favorable Alaskan Market Dynamics. The Alaskan communications market is characterized by its large geographic size and isolated markets that include a combination of major metropolitan areas and small, dense population clusters, which create a deterrent to potential new entrants. Due to the remote nature of its communities, the state’s residents and businesses rely extensively on our systems to meet their communications needs. We believe that, when compared to national averages, Alaskan households spend more on communications services. According to the United States Census Bureau, the median household income in Alaska was 21% higher than the 2003 United States national average, and according to the Alaska Department of Revenue, in fiscal 2007, federal spending in Alaska is expected to increase 55% over 2006 spending. We believe there is a positive outlook for continued growth.

Experienced Management Team. Our experienced management team has a proven track record and has consistently expanded our business and improved our operations. Our senior management averages more than 25 years of experience in the communications industry and more than 18 years with our Company.

Business Strategy

We intend to continue to increase revenues and cash flow using the following strategies:

Continue to Offer Bundled Products. We offer innovative service bundles to meet the needs of our consumer and commercial customers. We believe that bundling our services significantly improves customer retention, increases revenue per customer and reduces customer acquisition expenses. Our experience indicates that our bundled customers are significantly less likely to churn, and we experience less price erosion when we effectively combine our offerings. Bundling improves our top line growth, provides operating cost efficiencies that expand our margins and drives our overall

business performance. As a measure of success to date, substantially all of our local customers subscribe to our long-distance service and over 60% of our cable video subscribers also subscribe to our high-speed Internet service.

Maximize Sales Opportunities. We successfully sell new and enhanced services and products between and within our business segments to our existing customer base to achieve increased revenues and penetration of our services. Through close coordination of our customer service and sales and marketing efforts, our customer service representatives cross sell and up sell our products. Many calls into our customer service centers result in sales of additional products and services. We actively seek to continue to encourage our existing customers to acquire higher value, enhanced services.

Deliver Industry Leading Customer Service. We have positioned ourselves as a customer service leader in the Alaska communications market. We reorganized our operations in January 2006 to more effectively focus our organization on our customers. We operate our own customer service department and maintain and staff our own call centers. We have empowered our customer service representatives to handle most service issues and questions on a single call. We prioritize our customer services to expedite handling of our most valuable customers’ issues, particularly for our largest commercial customers. We believe our integrated approach to customer service, including setting up the service, programming various network databases with the customer’s information, installation, and ongoing service, allows us to provide a customer experience that fosters customer loyalty.

Leverage Communications Operations. We continue to expand and evolve our integrated network for the delivery of our services. Our bundled strategy and integrated approach to serving our customers creates efficiencies of scale and maximizes network utilization. By offering multiple services, we are better able to leverage our network assets and increase returns on our invested capital. We periodically evaluate our network assets and continually monitor technological developments that we can potentially deploy to increase network efficiency and performance.

Expand Our Product Portfolio and Footprint in Alaska. Throughout our history, we have successfully added and expect to continue to add new products to our product portfolio. Management has a demonstrated history of evaluating potential new products for our customers, and we will continue to assess revenue-enhancing opportunities that create value for our customers. In addition to new services such as digital video recorders, HDTV, video-on-demand, and VoIP, we are also expanding the reach of our core products to new markets. Where feasible and where economic analysis supports geographic expansion of our network coverage, we expect to pursue opportunities to increase the scale of our facilities, enhance our ability to serve our existing customers’ needs and attract new customers.

Description of our Business by Reportable Segment

Overview

Beginning January 1, 2006, we reorganized along customer lines rather than product lines. Our four reportable segments became Consumer, Network Access, Commercial and Managed Broadband, replacing the Long-distance, Cable, Local Access and Internet services segments. Our reportable segments are business units that offer different products, are each managed separately, and serve distinct types of customers.

Following are our new segments and the services and products each offers to its customers:

We market and sell our products and services to consumer and commercial customers. In general, our Consumer segment customers include residential customers, and our Commercial segment customers include small businesses, local, national and global businesses, governmental entities, and public and private educational institutions. We distribute our products and services to these customers through a variety of channels, including direct sales, telemarketing and media advertising. We also provide our products and services to other telecommunications providers who purchase our products and services on a wholesale basis. We distribute our wholesale products and services through direct sales.

Many of our networks and facilities are utilized by more than one segment to provide services and products to our customers. The following description of our business by reportable segment includes a comprehensive discussion within the Consumer segment section with references to that section if such common network and facility use exists in another segment. Similarly, many of the same services and products are sold to our customers in different segments. The following description of our business by reportable segment includes a comprehensive discussion of services and products within the Consumer Segment section with references to that section if such common services and products exist in another segment.

Products and Services

Our Consumer segment offers a full range of voice, video, data and wireless products and services to residential customers.

Voice Products and Services

Long-Distance

We are engaged in the transmission of interstate and intrastate-switched message telephone service communications service between the major communities in Alaska, and the remaining United States and foreign countries. Our message toll services include intrastate, interstate and international direct dial, toll-free 800, 888, 877 and 866 services, our calling card, operator and enhanced conference calling. Subscribers generally may cancel service at any time.

We have positioned ourselves as a price, quality, and customer service leader in the Alaska communications market. The value of our long-distance services is generally designed to be equal to or greater than that for comparable services provided by our competitors.

Local Access

Our own DLPS facilities and collocated remote facilities that access the ILEC’s unbundled network element loops allow us to offer full featured local service products to consumer customers. In areas where we do not have our own DLPS facilities or access to ILEC loop facilities, we offer service using total service resale of the ILEC’s local service in Anchorage, and either total service resale or UNE platform in Fairbanks and Juneau.

Our package offerings are competitively priced and include popular features, including caller ID, voice messaging, call forwarding, and call waiting.

Video Products and Services

We are the largest operator of cable systems in Alaska, serving approximately 124,000 Consumer and 1,500 Commercial basic subscribers at December 31, 2006. Our cable television systems serve 40 communities and areas in Alaska, including the state’s four largest urban areas, Anchorage, Fairbanks, the Mat-Su Valley and Juneau.

We offer a full range of video services over our broadband cable systems. We tailor our channel offerings for each system serving a particular geographic area according to applicable local and federal regulatory requirements, programming preferences, demographics and the capabilities of our cable facilities in each system. Subscribers typically pay us on a monthly basis and generally may discontinue services at any time. Monthly subscription rates and related charges vary according to the type of service selected and the type of equipment the subscriber uses. Our video service offerings include the following:

Basic cable. Our basic cable service consists of a limited analog basic service with access to between 12 and 19 channels of programming and an expanded analog basic service with access to between 12 and 60 channels of programming. These services generally consist of programming provided by national and local broadcast networks, national and regional cable networks, and governmental and public access programming.

Digital cable. Our digital cable service uses a digital set-top box to deliver up to 48 channels of video programming, multiple music channels and an interactive program guide.

High-Definition Television. Our HDTV service provides our digital subscribers with improved, high-resolution picture quality, improved audio quality and a wide-screen, theater-like display. Our HDTV service offers a broad selection of high-definition programming with access of up to 16 high-definition channels including most major broadcast networks, leading national cable networks, premium channels and national sports networks.

Digital Video Recorder. Our advanced DVR service lets digital cable subscribers select, record and store programs and play them at whatever time is convenient. DVR service also provides the ability to pause and rewind “live” television.

Premium channel programming. Our premium channel programming service, which includes cable networks such as Home Box Office, Showtime, Starz and Cinemax, generally offers, without commercial interruption, feature motion pictures, live and taped sporting events, concerts and other special features.

Pay-per-view programming. Our pay-per-view service permits our cable subscribers to order, for a separate fee, individual feature motion pictures and special event programs, such as professional boxing, professional wrestling and concerts, on an unedited, commercial-free basis.

Data Products and Services

Internet

We primarily offer three types of Internet access for consumer use: high-speed cable modem, dial-up and fixed wireless. Value-added Internet features, such as email virus detection, personal web site and domain hosting, and additional email accounts, are available for additional charges. Our consumer high-speed cable modem Internet service offers up to 10 Mbps access speeds as compared with up to 56 kbps access through standard copper wire dial-up modem access. Our fixed wireless product is available in 139 communities. Three distinct products are offered; 56 kbps, 256 kbps, and 256 kbps for multiple computers. We provide 24-hour customer service and technical support via telephone or online.

An entry-level cable modem service also offers free data transfer up to one gigabit per month at a rate of 64 Kbps and can be connected 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-a-year, allowing for real-time information and e-mail access. This product acts as a dialup replacement and upgrade since it is always connected and provides more efficient data transfer. Cable modems use our coaxial cable plant that provides cable television service, instead of the traditional ILEC copper wire. Coaxial cable has a much greater carrying capacity than telephone copper wire and can be used to simultaneously deliver both cable television (analog or digital) and Internet access services.

Wireless Products and Services

We offer mobile cellular services by reselling Dobson’s services under our brand name. We offer fixed wireless local access services over our own facilities, and have purchased PCS and LMDS wireless broadband licenses in FCC auctions covering markets in Alaska. Our mobile wireless service is currently available to our customers located in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Fort Greely, Juneau, Kenai/Soldotna, Kodiak, Nome, North Pole, Palmer/Wasilla, Homer, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Prudhoe Bay, Seward, Sitka, Valdez and Wrangell, Alaska.

We offer our customers a variety of rate plans so they can choose the plan that best fits their expected calling needs. We focus our offers to take advantage of the digital global system for mobile communications, or GSM network. Consumer voice service is generally offered on a contract basis for one or two year periods. Under the terms of these contracts, service is billed and provided on a monthly basis according to the applicable rate plan chosen. Our offerings include regional and national rate plans at a variety of pricing tiers. Our rate plans generally combine a fixed monthly access charge, a designated number of minutes-of-use, per minute usage charges for minutes in excess of the included amount and additional charges for certain custom-calling features. Most of our plans include basic features such as voice messaging, caller ID, call forwarding and call waiting, and two-way text messaging.

We sell a variety of handsets and personal computer wireless data cards manufactured by various suppliers for use with our voice and data services. We also sell accessories, such as carrying cases, hands-free devices, batteries, battery chargers and other items. We provide contract subscribers substantial equipment subsidies to initiate or upgrade service.

Bundled Products and Services

We combine one or more of our individual product or service offerings into bundles that we sell to our Consumer segment customers at attractive prices. For example, our Internet offerings are coupled with our long-distance, cable television, and local services offerings and provide free basic Internet services (both dial-up and cable modem access) if certain plans are selected. We have introduced a line of broadband products for customers with our bundled local, long distance and cable entertainment that provide much higher speeds and unlimited downloads. Additional cable modem service packages tailored to high-use consumer Internet users are also available.

Sales and Marketing

Our Consumer segment sales efforts are primarily directed toward increasing the number of subscribers we serve, selling bundled services, and generating incremental revenues through product and feature up-sale opportunities. We sell our Consumer segment services through telemarketing, direct mail advertising, door-to-door selling, up-selling by our customer service and call center personnel, local media advertising, retail stores, and through our website.

Facilities

Voice Facilities

We operate a modern, competitive communications network employing the latest digital transmission technology based upon fiber optic facilities within and between Anchorage, Fairbanks, Prudhoe Bay, and Juneau, Alaska. Our facilities include two self-constructed and financed digital undersea fiber optic cables linking our Alaska terrestrial networks to the networks of other carriers in the Lower 49 States. AULP East was placed into service in February 1999 and connects Whittier, Valdez and Juneau, Alaska and Seattle, Washington. AULP West was placed into service in June 2004 and connects Seward, Alaska to Warrenton, Oregon. The Seward cable landing station connects to our switching and distribution center in Anchorage and the Warrenton cable landing station connects to our switching and distribution center in Seattle via long-term leased capacity. The combination of AULP East and AULP West provides us with the ability to provide fully protected geographically diverse routing of service between Alaska and the Lower 48 States.

On July 31, 2006 we entered into an agreement to purchase an IRU in the Kodiak-Kenai Cable Company, LLC’s marine-based fiber optic cable system linking Anchorage to Kenai, Homer, Kodiak, Narrow Cape on Kodiak Island, and Seward, Alaska. We provisionally accepted a portion of such capacity in December 2006.

These undersea fiber optic cable systems allow us to carry our military base traffic and our Anchorage, Delta Junction, Eagle River, Fairbanks, Glenallen, Homer, Juneau, Kenai, Kodiak, Palmer, Prudhoe Bay, Seward, Soldotna, Valdez, Wasilla, and Whittier, Alaska traffic to and from the contiguous Lower 48 States and between these instate locations over terrestrial circuits, eliminating the one-half second round trip delay associated with satellite circuits.

Another carrier completed construction of fiber optic facilities connecting points in Alaska to the Lower 48 States in 1999. The additional fiber system provides direct competition to services we provide on our owned fiber optic facilities; however, this fiber system also provides an alternative routing path for us for a limited amount of traffic in case of a major fiber outage in our systems.

We use satellite transponders to transmit voice and data traffic to remote areas of Alaska. We acquired satellite transponders on Intelsat Galaxy XR satellite in March 2000 to meet our long-term satellite capacity requirements. We further augmented capacity on Galaxy XR with the lease of a seventh C-band transponder in October, 2002. We continue to develop and deploy new technology to further increase the efficiency of bandwidth utilization for our satellite network. With a sparse population spread over a large geographic area, neither terrestrial microwave nor fiber optic transmission technology is considered to be economically feasible in rural Alaska in the foreseeable future. See “Part I — Item 1A — Risk Factors — If a failure occurs in our satellite communications systems, our ability to immediately restore the entirety of our service may be limited.” for more information.

We operate digital microwave systems to link Anchorage with the Kenai Peninsula, and our Prudhoe Bay Earth Station with Deadhorse. Digital microwave facilities are also used between our Fairbanks earth station and our Fairbanks distribution center. Virtually all switched services are computer controlled, digitally switched, and interconnected by a packet switched SS7 signaling network.

Other facilities include major earth stations at Adak, Barrow, Bethel, Cordova, Dillingham, Dutch Harbor, Eagle River, Galena, Juneau, Ketchikan, King Salmon, Kodiak, Kotzebue, McGrath, Nome, Prudhoe Bay, Sitka, Unalakleet, and Yakutat, all in Alaska, serving the communities in their vicinity, and at Issaquah, Washington, which provides interconnection to Seattle and the Lower 48 States for traffic to and from major Alaska earth stations. The Eagle River earth station is linked to the Anchorage distribution center by fiber optic facilities.

We use SONET as a service delivery method for our terrestrial metropolitan area networks as well as our long-haul terrestrial and undersea fiber optic cable networks.

A fiber optic cable system from our Anchorage distribution center connects to the Matanuska Telephone Association (“MTA”) Eagle River central office and to our major hub earth station in Eagle River. The Issaquah earth station is connected with the Seattle distribution center by means of diversely-routed leased fiber optic cable transmission systems, each having the capability to restore the other in the event of failure. The Juneau earth station and distribution centers are collocated. We have digital microwave facilities serving the Kenai Peninsula communities. We maintain earth stations in Fairbanks (linked by digital microwave to the Fairbanks distribution center), Juneau (collocated with the Juneau distribution center), Anchorage (Benson earth station), and in Prudhoe Bay as fiber network restoration earth stations. Our Benson earth station also uplinks our statewide video service; such service may be pre-empted if earth station capacity is needed to restore our fiber network between Anchorage and Prudhoe Bay.

We use our DAMA facilities to serve 69 additional locations throughout Alaska. DAMA is a digital satellite earth station technology that allows calls to be made between remote villages using only one satellite hop, thereby reducing satellite delay and capacity requirements while improving quality. In addition, 54 (for a total of 123) C-band facilities provide dedicated Internet access and Private Network services to rural public schools, hospitals, health clinics, and natural resource development industries throughout Alaska. Our Network of 83 Ku- band facilities provide dedicated Internet access, Telehealth and private network services to rural public schools, hospitals, health clinics, and natural resource development industries throughout Alaska, and in 10 locations in the Lower 48 States.

We entered the local services market in Anchorage in 1997. At December 31, 2006 we could access approximately 96%, 70% and 38% of Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau area local loops, respectively, from our collocated remote facilities and DLC installations, excluding Fort Wainwright and Eielson Air Force Base areas.

Our Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau distribution centers contain electronic switches to route calls to and from local exchange companies and, in Seattle, to obtain access to Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”), Sprint Nextel Corporation (“Sprint Nextel”) and other carriers to distribute our southbound traffic to the remaining 49 states and international destinations. Our extensive metropolitan area fiber network in Anchorage supports cable television, Internet and telephony services. The Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau facilities also include digital access cross-connect systems, frame relay data switches, Internet platforms, and in Anchorage and Fairbanks, collocation facilities for interconnecting and hosting equipment for other carriers. We also maintain an operator and customer service center in Wasilla, Alaska. Our operator services traffic is processed by an integrated services platform that also hosts answering services, directory assistance, and internal conferencing services.

We continue our DLPS deployment utilizing our Anchorage and Juneau coaxial cable facilities. We plan to extend our DLPS deployment in 2007 to Eagle River, Fairbanks, Ketchikan, Palmer, and Wasilla, Alaska. This delivery method allows us to utilize our own cable facilities to provide local access service to our customers and avoid paying local loop charges to the ILEC. We have committed to purchase a certain number of broadband multi-media terminal adapters and other vendor equipment.

Video Facilities

Our statewide cable systems consist of 2,775 miles of installed cable plant having 450 to 625 MHz of channel capacity. Our cable television businesses are located throughout the State of Alaska including the communities of Alpine, Anchorage, Barrow, Bethel, Cordova, Eagle River, Eielson AFB, Elmendorf AFB, Fairbanks, Fort Greely, Fort Richardson, Fort Wainwright, Homer, Juneau, Kenai, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Kodiak Coast Guard Air Station, Kotzebue, Kuparuk, Nome, North Pole, Palmer, Petersburg, Prudhoe Bay, Seward, Sitka, Soldotna, Valdez, Wasilla, and Wrangell, Alaska. Our facilities include cable plant and head-end distribution equipment. Certain of our head-end distribution centers are collocated with customer service, sales and administrative offices.

Data Facilities

We provide access to the Internet using a platform that includes many of the latest advancements in technology. The physical platform is concentrated in Anchorage and is extended into many remote areas of the state. Our Internet platform includes the following:

•

Our Anchorage facilities are connected to multiple Internet access points in Seattle through multiple, diversely routed networks;

•

We use multiple routers on each end of the circuits to control the flow of data and to provide resiliency; and

•

Our Anchorage facility consists of routers, a bank of servers that perform support and application functions, database servers providing authentication and user demographic data, layer 2 gigabit switch fabrics for intercommunications and broadband services (cable modem, wireless and DSL), and access servers for dial-in users.

Our dedicated Internet access and IP data services are delivered to a router located at the service point. Our Internet management platform constantly monitors this router and continual communications are maintained with all of the core and distribution routers in the network. The availability and quality of service, as well as statistical information on traffic loading, are continuously monitored for quality assurance. The management platform has the capability to remotely access routers, servers and layer 2 switches, permitting changes in configuration without the need to physically be at the service point.

Bandwidth is made available to our Internet segment through our AULP East and AULP West undersea fiber cable systems and our Galaxy XR transponders.

GCI.net offers a unique combination of innovative network design and aggressive performance management. Our Internet platform has received a certification that places it in the top one percent of all service providers worldwide and is the only ISP in Alaska with such a designation. We operate and maintain what we believe is the largest, most reliable, and highest performance Internet network in the State of Alaska.

Wireless Facilities

We closed a 10-year distribution agreement with Dobson in 2004 allowing us to resell Dobson cellular services. We provide limited wireless local access and Internet services using our own facilities utilizing our 30-MHz PCS license and unlicensed 2.4 GHz spectrum. We provide the service through 802.11 (a set of wireless standards), and wireless DOCSIS (a data over cable service interface specification).

Customers

A discussion of Consumer segment customers by product type follows.

Voice Customers

Long-Distance

We had approximately 89,800 and 95,000 Consumer segment long-distance message telephone service accounts at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Comparable 2004 data is not available due to our billing system conversion in 2005. The 2006 decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the total number of long-distance services subscribers in the markets we serve resulting from customers substituting wireless phone, prepaid calling card, VoIP and email usage for direct dial minutes.

Equal access conversions have been completed in all communities where we serve with owned facilities. Equal access is in progress in several small communities where we are expanding our owned facilities. We estimate that we carry greater than 50% of combined consumer and commercial traffic as a statewide average for both originating interstate and intrastate message telephone service.

Revenues derived from Consumer segment long-distance services in 2006, 2005 and 2004 totaled $20.6 million, $23.5 million and $23.3 million, respectively, representing approximately 4.3%, 5.3% and 5.5% of our total revenues in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

A summary of our Consumer segment switched long-distance message telephone service traffic (in minutes) follows:

		Year Ended December 31,
		2006		2005		2004
	Consumer long-distance minutes: ¹	(in millions)
	Interstate		109.1		125.5		124.3
	Intrastate		27.2		32.0		34.1
	International		5.6		5.5		4.7
	Total		141.9		163.0		163.1
___________________________ ¹All minutes data were taken from our internal billing statistics reports. ___________________________

Although we have several agreements to facilitate the origination and termination of international toll traffic, we have neither foreign operations nor export sales. See “Part I — Item 1 — Business — Financial Information about our Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales” for more information.

Data Customers

We had approximately 93,900, 92,200 and 91,000 total active Consumer segment Internet subscribers at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in these totals were approximately 78,500, 70,800 and 59,800 active Consumer segment cable modem Internet subscribers at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenues derived from Consumer segment Internet services totaled $29.4 million, $25.3 million and $24.3 million, in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing approximately 6.2%, 5.7% and 5.7% of our total revenues in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Wireless Customers

We had approximately 28,900, 16,000 and 9,500 total active Consumer segment and Commercial segment wireless subscribers at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Data is not available to separately identify the number of Consumer segment and Commercial segment customers. Our Consumer segment wireless services revenue totaled $13.7 million, $6.1 million and $2.8 million in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, or approximately 2.9%, 1.4% and 0.7% of total revenues, respectively.

Competition

A discussion of competition by product and service in our Consumer segment follows. See “Item 1A. — Risk Factors — We face intense competition that may reduce our market share and harm our financial performance.”

Voice Products and Services Competition

Long-Distance

The long-distance industry is intensely competitive and subject to constant technological change. Competition is based upon price and pricing plans, the type of services offered, customer service, billing services, performance, perceived quality, reliability and availability. Current or future competitors could be substantially larger than we are, or have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do.

In the intrastate, interstate and international long-distance market, we compete against AT&T Alascom, Inc., Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc. (“ACS”), MTA and certain smaller rural local telephone carrier affiliates. AT&T Alascom, as a subsidiary of AT&T, has access to greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. There is also the possibility that new competitors will enter the Alaska market. In addition, wireless and VoIP services continue to grow as an alternative to wireline services as a means of reaching customers. Wireless local number portability allows consumers to retain the same phone number as they change service providers allowing for interchangeable and portable fixed-line and wireless numbers. Some consumers now use wireless service as their primary voice phone service for local and long-distance calling.

Historically, we have competed in the long-distance market by offering discounts from rates charged by our competitors and by providing desirable packages of services. Discounts have been eroded in recent years due to lowering of prices by AT&T Alascom and entry of other competitors into the long-distance markets we serve. In addition, our competitors offer their own packages of services.

Our ability to compete successfully will depend on our ability to anticipate and respond to various competitive factors affecting the industry, including new services that may be introduced, changes in consumer preferences, demographic trends, economic conditions and pricing strategies.

Under the terms of the acquisition of Alascom by AT&T Inc., which were retained in the subsequent acquisition of AT&T by SBC Communications Inc., AT&T Alascom rates and services must mirror those offered by AT&T Inc., so changes in AT&T Inc. prices indirectly affect our rates and services. AT&T Inc.’s and AT&T Alascom’s interstate prices are regulated under a price cap plan whereby their rate of return is not regulated or restricted. Price increases by AT&T Inc. and AT&T Alascom generally improve our ability to raise prices while price decreases pressure us to follow. We believe we have, so far, successfully adjusted our pricing and marketing strategies to respond to AT&T Inc. and other competitors’ pricing practices. However, if competitors significantly lower their rates, we may be forced to reduce our rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Local Access

Data obtained from the RCA indicates that there are 23 ILECs and 12 CLECs certified to operate in the State of Alaska. We compete against ACS, the ILEC, and AT&T Alascom in Anchorage, Juneau and Fairbanks. AT&T Alascom offers local exchange service only to consumer customers through total service resale.

We plan to provide local telephone service in other locations in the future where we would face other competitors. Our request for interconnection for the purposes of local access competition with MTA was approved by the RCA in 2006 and we intend to commence local service entry into the Mat-Su Valley during 2007. The RCA granted amendments to our certificates to provide local service in areas where population growth has occurred and is likely to occur over the next five years. The service area changes are in Anchorage, Bethel, Cordova, Fairbanks, Homer, Juneau-Douglas, Kenai, Soldotna, Sterling, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Kotzebue, Nome, Palmer-Wasilla, Petersburg, Seward, Sitka, Valdez and Wrangell. The RCA also granted amendments to our local telephone certificate to provide local service to the entire service areas of Ketchikan Public Utilities, Cordova Telephone Cooperative, Copper Valley Telephone Cooperative (“CVTC”), MTA, the Glacier State service area, Alaska Telephone Company, Interior Telephone Company, United-KUC, Mukluk Telephone Company, Wrangell, Petersburg, Sitka, Seward, Bethel and Nome. We expect further competition in the marketplaces we serve as other companies may receive certifications.

In the local telephone services market, the 1996 Telecom Act, judicial decisions, state and federal legislative and regulatory developments, and new technologies have increased the overall likelihood that barriers to local telephone competition will be substantially reduced or removed. These initiatives include requirements that local exchange carriers negotiate with entities, including us, to provide interconnection to the existing local telephone network, to allow the purchase, at cost-based rates, of access to unbundled network elements, to establish dialing parity, to obtain access to rights-of-way and to resell services offered by the ILEC. We have been able to obtain interconnection, access and related services from the LECs, at rates that allow us to offer competitive services. However, if we are unable to continue to obtain these services and access at acceptable rates, our ability to offer local telephone services, and our revenues and net income, could be materially adversely affected. To date, we have been successful in capturing a significant portion of the local telephone market in the locations where we are offering these services. However, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be successful in attracting or retaining these customers.

We believe that we have certain advantages over ILECs in providing communications services, including awareness by Alaskan customers of the GCI brand-name, our facilities-based communications network, and our prior experience in, and knowledge of, the Alaskan market.

See “Regulation, Franchise Authorizations and Tariffs — Communications Operations” below for more information.

Video Products and Services Competition

Our cable television systems face competition from alternative methods of receiving and distributing television signals, including DBS and digital video over telephone lines, broadband IP-based services, wireless and SMATV systems, and from other sources of news, information and entertainment such as off-air television broadcast programming, newspapers, movie theaters, live sporting events, interactive computer services, Internet services and home video products, including videotape cassettes and video disks. Our cable television systems also face competition from potential overbuilds of our existing cable systems by other cable television operators and municipally-owned cable systems, and alternative methods of receiving and distributing television signals. The extent to which our cable television systems are competitive depends, in part, upon our ability to provide quality programming and other services at competitive prices.

We believe that the greatest source of potential competition for video services could come from the DBS industry. Two major companies, The DirecTV Group, Inc. and EchoStar Communications Corporation are currently offering nationwide high-power DBS services. We also are subject to competition from providers of digital video over telephone lines in the Mat-Su Valley and in Ketchikan. With the addition of Anchorage local broadcast stations, increased marketing, ILEC and DBS alliances, and emerging technologies creating new opportunities, competition from these sources has increased and will likely continue to increase.

DBS is more competitive with cable in the Alaska market than it once was because technological advances have improved signal quality and reduced equipment costs, local programming is more widely available than it once was, and ILECs are teaming with DBS providers to offer bundled solutions that compete with our offerings.

In the past, the majority of Alaska DBS subscribers were required to bear the cost of and install larger satellite dishes (generally three to six feet in diameter) because of the weaker satellite signals available in northern latitudes, particularly in communities surrounding, and north of, Fairbanks. In addition, the satellites had a relatively low altitude above the horizon when viewed from Alaska, making their signals subject to interference from mountains, buildings and other structures. Satellite placements have provided Alaska residents with a DBS package that requires a smaller satellite dish (typically 18 inches); however, a second larger dish is required if the subscriber wants to receive a channel line-up similar to that provided by our cable systems with high-definition programming. In addition to the dish and equipment cost deterrents, DBS signals are subject to degradation from atmospheric conditions such as rain and snow. The changing nature of technology and of the DBS business may result in greater satellite coverage within the State of Alaska.

Several ILECs in the Lower 48 and the largest ILEC in Alaska have engaged in marketing arrangements to provide DBS services along with local telephone and other services. Similar arrangements could be extended to other ILECs in the markets we serve in Alaska. In December 2005 DirecTV launched a new satellite, permitting them to transmit a stronger signal and deliver local network programming in certain communities in Alaska. They now join EchoStar which in 2003 launched Anchorage local network programming for an additional fee.

The ILECs in the Mat-Su Valley and Ketchikan offer digital video service over telephone lines in limited areas. Their product offerings and price points are similar to our product offerings.

Competitive forces will be counteracted by offering expanded programming through digital services and by providing high-speed data services. System upgrades have been completed to make our systems reverse activated, providing the necessary infrastructure to offer cable modem service to greater than 99% of our homes passed. Digital delivery technology is being utilized in all but one of our systems. In 2002, seven-year retransmission agreements were signed with Anchorage broadcasters. These agreements provide for the uplink/downlink of their signals into all our systems, and local programming for our customers.

Other new technologies may become competitive with non-entertainment services that cable television systems can offer. The FCC has authorized television broadcast stations to transmit textual and graphic information useful to both consumers and businesses. The FCC also permits commercial and non-commercial FM stations to use their subcarrier frequencies to provide non-broadcast services including data transmissions. The FCC established an over-the-air interactive video and data service that will permit two-way interaction with commercial and educational programming along with informational and data services. LECs and other common carriers also provide facilities for the transmission and distribution to homes and businesses of interactive computer-based services, including the Internet, as well as data and other non-video services. The FCC has conducted spectrum auctions for licenses to provide PCS, as well as other services. PCS and other services will enable license holders, including cable operators, to provide voice and data services. We own a statewide license to provide PCS in Alaska.

Cable television systems generally operate pursuant to franchises granted on a non-exclusive basis. The 1992 Cable Act gives local franchising authorities jurisdiction over basic cable service rates and equipment in the absence of “effective competition,” prohibits franchising authorities from unreasonably denying requests for additional franchises and permits franchising authorities to operate cable systems. Well-financed businesses from outside the cable industry (such as the public utilities that own certain of the poles on which cable is attached) may become competitors for franchises or providers of competing services.

We expect to continue to provide, at reasonable prices and in competitive bundles, a greater variety of communication services than are available off-air or through other alternative delivery sources. Additionally, we believe we offer superior

technical performance and responsive community-based customer service. Increased competition, however, may adversely affect our market share and results of operations from our cable services product offerings.

Data Products and Services Competition

The Internet industry is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to constant technological change. Competition is based upon price and pricing plans, service packages, the types of services offered, the technologies used, customer service, billing services, perceived quality, reliability and availability. As of December 31, 2006, we competed with more than eight Alaska based Internet providers, and competed with other domestic, non-Alaska based providers that provide national service coverage. Several of the providers headquartered outside of Alaska have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do.

With respect to our high-speed cable modem service, ACS and other Alaska telephone service providers are providing competitive high-speed DSL services over their telephone lines in direct competition with our high-speed cable modem service. Competitive local fixed wireless providers are providing service in certain of our markets as is a national WiMax-based provider in Anchorage with plans for Juneau and Fairbanks. WiMax is a standards-based wireless technology that provides high-throughput broadband connections over long distances. WiMax can be used for a number of applications, including last mile broadband connections, hotspots and cellular backhaul, and high-speed enterprise connectivity for business. DBS providers and others provide wireless high speed Internet service in competition with our high-speed cable modem services. Competitive local fixed wireless providers are providing service in certain of our markets. Clearwire Corporation has introduced a nomadic wireless product in the Anchorage market based on pre-802.16 technology. 802.16 is a specification for fixed broadband wireless metropolitan access networks that use a point-to-multipoint architecture. It offers competitive Internet services up to 1.5 Mbps.

Niche providers in the industry, both local and national, compete with certain of our Internet service products, such as web hosting, list services and email.

Wireless Products and Services Competition

We compete against Dobson, ACS, Alaska DigiTel, MTA, and resellers of those services in Anchorage and other markets. The wireless industry continues to experience consolidation among competitors, which has led to a reduction in the total number of service providers. In addition to the October 2004 acquisition of AT&T Wireless by Cingular, Sprint and Nextel Communications, Inc. merged on August 12, 2005 and Alltel completed its purchase of Western Wireless on August 1, 2005.

We also compete, to a lesser extent, with mobile satellite service providers, as well as from resellers of these services. The FCC has granted mobile satellite service providers the flexibility to deploy an ancillary terrestrial component to their satellite services. This added flexibility may enhance their ability to offer more competitive mobile services.

Regulatory policies favor robust competition in wireless markets. Wireless Local Number Portability, which was implemented by the FCC late in 2003, has also increased the level of competition in the industry. Number portability allows subscribers to switch carriers without having to change their telephone numbers.

The communications industry continues to experience significant technological changes, as evidenced by the increasing pace of improvements in the capacity and quality of digital technology, shorter cycles for new products and enhancements and changes in consumer preferences and expectations. Accordingly, we expect competition in the wireless communications industry to continue to be dynamic and intense as a result of the development of new technologies, products and services.

We compete for customers based principally upon price, the services and enhancements offered, network quality, customer service, network coverage and capacity, and the availability of differentiated features and services. Our ability to compete successfully will depend, in part, on our marketing efforts and our ability to anticipate and respond to various competitive factors affecting the industry.

Seasonality

Our Consumer segment long-distance, video, local access and data services do not exhibit significant seasonality. Our ability to implement construction projects is hampered during the winter months because of cold temperatures, snow and short daylight hours.

Network Access Segment

We offer wholesale voice and data products and services to other common carrier customers. Network Access segment revenues for 2006, 2005 and 2004 are summarized as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2006		2005		2004
	(in thousands)
Total revenues ¹	$	166,471		148,333		137,167

Products and Services

Our Network Access segment offers wholesale voice and data products and services to other common carrier customers. We provide network transport, billing services and access to our network to other common carriers and wireless carriers. These services allow other common carriers to provide services to their customers that originate or terminate on our network, or on the networks of other communication companies that we connect to.

We are engaged in the transmission of interstate and intrastate-switched message telephone service, Internet service, and Private Line and Private Network communications service between the major communities in Alaska, and the remaining United States and foreign countries. Our message toll services include intrastate and interstate direct dial, toll-free 800, 888, 877 and 866 services, our calling card, directory assistance, operator and enhanced conference calling, frame relay, MPLS, IP, SDN, and ISDN technology based services. MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) is a data-carrying mechanism which emulates certain properties of a circuit-switched network over a packet-switched network. We terminate northbound message telephone service traffic for Verizon, Sprint Nextel and several large resellers who do not have facilities of their own in Alaska. We also provide origination of southbound calling card and toll-free 800, 888, 877 and 866 toll services for Verizon, Sprint Nextel, and other interexchange carriers. Services are generally provided pursuant to contracts with terms of up to 5 years in length. Toll, Private Line and Private Network, and related services account for approximately 34.7%, 33.5%, and 32.3% of our 2006, 2005 and 2004 revenues, respectively. Private Line and Private Network services utilize voice and data transmission circuits, dedicated to particular subscribers, which link a device in one location to another in a different location.

Sales and Marketing

Our Network Access segment sales and marketing efforts are primarily directed toward increasing the number of other common carriers we serve and the number of billable minutes of long-distance traffic we carry over our network. We sell our long-distance communications services primarily through direct contact marketing.

Facilities

Our Network Access segment shares common facilities used for voice services by other segments. You should refer to “Consumer Segment — Facilities” above for additional information.

Our largest customer was MCI through December 31, 2005. On January 6, 2006, Verizon announced the completion and closing of its merger with MCI and consequently Verizon is now our largest customer. Through 2005, MCI was classified as a major customer of our Network Access segment. Beginning in 2006, Verizon is now classified as a major customer.

We entered into a significant business relationship with MCI in 1993 that included the following agreements, among others:

•

We agreed to terminate all Alaska-bound MCI long-distance traffic and MCI agreed to terminate our long-distance traffic terminating in the Lower 49 States excluding Washington, Oregon and Hawaii; and

•

The parties agreed to share certain communications network resources and various marketing, engineering and operating resources. We also carry MCI’s (currently, Verizon’s) 800, 888, 877 and 866 traffic originating in Alaska and terminating in the Lower 49 States and handle traffic for Verizon’s calling card customers when they are traveling in Alaska.

Concurrently with these agreements, MCI (now Verizon) purchased approximately 31% of GCI’s Common Stock and presently two Verizon representatives serve on our Board. In conjunction with our acquisition of cable television companies in 1996, MCI purchased an additional two million shares at a premium to the then current market price for $13 million or $6.50 per share. MCI sold 4.5 million shares of GCI Class A common stock in 2002. On December 7, 2004 we repurchased 3,752,000 of our Class A common shares at $8.33 per share and $10 million face value of our Series C Preferred Stock from MCI. The aggregate amount of the equity repurchase totaled $41.3 million. At December 31, 2006, Verizon owns approximately 2.4% of GCI’s outstanding Class B common stock. Each share of Class B common stock has ten votes per share.

Revenues attributed to MCI’s message telephone traffic through 2005 and attributed to Verizon in 2006 from these agreements in 2006, 2005 and 2004 totaled $93.4 million, $85.4 million and $81.7 million, or 19.6%, 19.3% and 19.2% of total revenues, respectively. The contract was amended in January 2005, extending its term to December 2009, with five, one year automatic extensions thereafter. The amendment reduced the rate to be charged by us for certain traffic over the extended term of the contract.

On July 21, 2002 MCI and substantially all of its active United States subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court. Chapter 11 allows a company to continue operating in the ordinary course of business in order to maximize recovery for the company’s creditors and shareholders. On October 31, 2003, MCI’s reorganization plan was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court and MCI emerged from bankruptcy protection on April 20, 2004. On February 19, 2005 MCI entered into a new five-year contract with us to originate and terminate all of their Alaska traffic with rates that comply with new federal legislation. These rates will be reduced 3% annually on each January 1 through to December 31, 2009, pursuant to such legislation.

With the contracts and amendment described above, we believe that Verizon will continue to make use of our services during the extended term.

We also provide Network Access segment services to Sprint Nextel and Dobson. Although these customers do not meet the threshold for classification as a major customer, we do derive significant revenues and operating income from them. Our contract with Sprint Nextel was renewed in January 2007 to extend the term through March 2011, which includes two, one-year renewal options. Our contract with Dobson was executed in 2004 with an initial term of 10 years with the option to extend the term for three additional years.

The loss of Verizon, Sprint Nextel or Dobson as customers or a material adverse change in our relationships with them could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. There are no other individual Network Access segment customers, the loss of which would have a material impact on our revenues or operating income.

Voice Customers

Long-Distance

Revenues derived from Network Access segment long-distance services in 2006, 2005 and 2004 totaled $105.1 million, $90.1 million and $81.8 million, respectively, representing approximately 22.0%, 20.3% and 19.3% of our total revenues in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Local Access

Revenues derived from Network Access segment local access services in 2006, 2005 and 2004 totaled $5.7 million, $5.4 million and $6.2 million, respectively, representing approximately 1.2%, 1.2% and 1.4% of our total revenues in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Data Customers

Revenues derived from Network Access segment data services, including Internet and Private Line and Private Network services, totaled $55.6 million, $52.8 million and $49.2 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively, representing approximately 11.6%, 11.9% and 11.6% of our total revenues in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Competition

Our Network Access segment competes against AT&T Alascom, ACS, MTA, and certain smaller rural local telephone carrier affiliates. There is also the possibility that new competitors will enter the Alaska market. You should refer to “Consumer Segment — Competition” above for additional information.

Other common carrier traffic routed to us for termination in Alaska is largely dependent on traffic routed to our carrier customers by their customers. Pricing pressures, new program offerings, revised business plans, and market consolidation continue to evolve in the markets served by our carrier customers. If, as a result, their traffic is reduced, or if their competitors’ costs to terminate or originate traffic in Alaska are reduced, our traffic will also likely be reduced, and we may have to respond to competitive pressures, consistent with federal law. We are unable to predict the effect of such changes on our business.

Historically, we have competed in the Network Access segment market by offering rates comparable to or less than our competitors, by providing a comprehensive service model to meet the complete needs of our carrier customers, and by providing responsive customer service.

See “Item 1A. — Risk Factors — We face intense competition that may reduce our market share and harm our financial performance.”

Seasonality

Network Access segment long-distance services revenues derived from our other common carrier customers have historically been highest in the summer months because of temporary population increases attributable to tourism and increased seasonal economic activity such as construction, commercial fishing, and oil and gas activities.

Customers

A discussion of Commercial segment customers by product type follows.

Voice Customers

Long-Distance Customers

We had approximately 11,100 and 11,700 active Commercial segment long-distance message telephone service accounts at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Comparable 2004 data is not available due to our billing system conversion in 2005. The 2006 decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the total number of long-distance services subscribers in the markets we serve resulting from customers substituting wireless phone, prepaid calling card, VoIP and email usage for direct dial minutes.

Commercial segment long-distance services revenues totaled $12.9 million, $14.4 million and $16.2 million, in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, representing approximately 2.7%, 3.2% and 3.8% of our total revenues in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Equal access conversions have been completed in all communities where we serve with owned facilities. Equal access is in progress in several small communities where we are expanding our owned facilities. We estimate that we carry greater than 50% of combined commercial and consumer traffic as a statewide average for both originating interstate and intrastate message telephone service.

A summary of our Commercial segment switched long-distance message telephone service traffic (in minutes) follows:

	Year Ended December 31,

Managed Services

We design, sell, install, service and operate, on behalf of certain customers, communications and computer networking equipment and provide field/depot, third party, technical support, communications consulting and outsourcing services through our Network Solutions business. We also supply integrated voice and data communications systems incorporating interstate and intrastate digital Private Lines, point-to-point and multipoint Private Network and small earth station services. Our Managed Services revenues totaled $30.1 million, $32.4 million and $36.9 million in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, or approximately 6.3%, 7.3% and 8.7% of total revenues, respectively.

Wireless Customers

We had approximately 28,900, 16,000 and 9,500 total active Consumer and Commercial segment wireless subscribers at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Data is not available to separately identify the number of Consumer and Commercial segment customers. Our Commercial segment wireless services revenue totaled $2.5 million, $1.2 million and $0.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, or approximately 0.5%, 0.3% and 0.1% of total revenues, respectively.

Competition

Many of our Commercial segment voice, video, Internet and wireless products and services are also common to the Consumer segment. You should refer to “Consumer Segment — Competition” above for additional information.

We expect further competition in commercial customer telephone access, Internet access, DSL and data markets. Competition is based upon price and pricing plans, the type of services offered, customer service, billing services, performance, perceived quality, reliability and availability.

Presently, there are a number of competing companies in Alaska that actively sell and maintain data and voice communications systems. Our ability to integrate communications networks and data communications equipment has allowed us to maintain our market position based on “value added” support services rather than price competition. These services are blended with other transport products into unique customer solutions, including managed services and outsourcing.

We compete with two other major yellow page directories and several local community directories. We compete based on reduced advertising and listing prices, broad circulation, and directory quality and features.

See “Item 1A. — Risk Factors — We face intense competition that may reduce our market share and harm our financial performance.”

Seasonality

Our Commercial segment long-distance, video, local access and data services do not exhibit significant seasonality. Our ability to implement construction projects is hampered during the winter months because of cold temperatures, snow and short daylight hours.

The network supports all H.323 IP videoconferencing standards including the newer H.264 standard, and supports call data rates from 128 kilobits per second up to and including multi-megabit high definition calls. In 2006, we terminated over 30,000 videoconferencing endpoint connections amounting to over two million videoconferencing minutes on our network.

Sales and Marketing

Our Managed Broadband segment sales and marketing efforts focus on increasing the number of subscribers we serve, selling bundled services, and generating incremental revenues through product and feature up-sale opportunities. We sell our Managed Broadband segment products and services primarily through direct contact marketing.

Facilities

Our Managed Broadband segment products and services are delivered using a platform including many of the latest advancements in technology through a locally available circuit, our existing lines, and/or satellite earth stations. Our Internet services are partially provisioned over a satellite based digital video broadcast carrier that reduces the requirement for new satellite transponder bandwidth to support growth in rural health, SchoolAccess^® and other broadband services.

We employ a packet data satellite transmission technology for the efficient transport of broadband data in support of our rural health and SchoolAccess^® initiatives. Our SchoolAccess^® Internet service is delivered as follows:

•

In communities where we have terrestrial interconnects or provide existing service over regional earth stations, we have configured intermediate distribution facilities. Schools that are within these service boundaries are connected locally to one of those facilities;

•

In communities where we have extended communications services via our DAMA earth station program, SchoolAccess^® is provided via a satellite circuit to an intermediate distribution facility at the Eagle River Earth Station; and

•

In communities or remote locations where we have not extended communications services, SchoolAccess^® is provided via a dedicated (usually on premise) VSAT satellite station. The VSAT connects to an intermediate distribution facility located in Anchorage.

You should refer to “Consumer Segment — Facilities” above for additional information.

Customers

Our Managed Broadband segment revenue, including our SchoolAccess^® and rural health initiatives, totaled $26.1 million, $26.1 million and $26.9 million in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, or approximately 5.5%, 5.9% and 6.3% of total revenues, respectively. Our SchoolAccess^® Internet service was delivered to 48 customers at December 31, 2006 representing over 203 schools in rural Alaska and 9 schools in Montana, New Mexico and Arizona. We had 45 and 42 SchoolAccess^®customers at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our rural health service was delivered to 21, 21 and 22 customers at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Competition

Presently, there are several competing companies in Alaska that actively sell broadband services. Our ability to provide end-to-end broadband services solutions has allowed us to maintain our market position based on “value added” products and services rather than solely based on price competition. These services are blended with other transport and software products into unique customer solutions, including SchoolAccess^® and rural health applications such as video conferencing and unique web content services.

See “Item 1A. — Risk Factors — We face intense competition that may reduce our market share and harm our financial performance.”

Seasonality

Our Managed Broadband segment does not exhibit seasonality.

Marketing and Sales

Our marketing and sales strategy hinges on our ability to leverage (i) our unique position as an integrated provider of multiple communications, Internet and cable services, (ii) our well-recognized and respected brand name in the Alaskan marketplace and (iii) our leading market positions in long-distance, Internet and cable television services. By continuing to pursue a marketing strategy that takes advantage of these characteristics, we believe we can increase our consumer and commercial customer market penetration and retention rates, increase our share of our customers’ aggregate voice, video and data services expenditures and achieve continued growth in revenues and operating cash flow.

Environmental Regulations

We may undertake activities that, under certain circumstances may affect the environment. Accordingly, they are subject to federal, state, and local regulations designed to preserve or protect the environment. The FCC, the Bureau of Land Management, the United States Forest Service, and the National Park Service are required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to consider the environmental impact before the commencement of facility construction.

We believe that compliance with such regulations has had no material effect on our consolidated operations. The principal effect of our facilities on the environment would be in the form of construction of facilities and networks at various locations in Alaska and between Alaska, Seattle, Washington, and Warrenton, Oregon. Our facilities have been constructed in accordance with federal, state and local building codes and zoning regulations whenever and wherever applicable. Some facilities may be on lands that may be subject to state and federal wetland regulation.

Uncertainty as to the applicability of environmental regulations is caused in major part by the federal government’s decision to consider a change in the definition of wetlands. Most of our facilities are on leased property, and, with respect to all of these facilities, we are unaware of any violations of lease terms or federal, state or local regulations pertaining to preservation or protection of the environment.

Our Alaska United projects consist, in part, of deploying land-based and undersea fiber optic cable facilities between Anchorage, Juneau, Seward, Valdez, and Whittier, Alaska, Seattle, Washington, and Warrenton, Oregon. The engineered routes pass over wetlands and other environmentally sensitive areas. We believe our construction methods used for buried cable have a minimal impact on the environment. The agencies, among others, that are involved in permitting and oversight of our cable deployment efforts are the United States Army Corps of Engineers, National Marine Fisheries Service, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, United States Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Alaska Department of Natural Resources, and the Alaska Office of the Governor-Governmental Coordination. We are unaware of any violations of federal, state or local regulations or permits pertaining to preservation or protection of the environment.

In the course of operating the cable television and communications systems, we have used various materials defined as hazardous by applicable governmental regulations. These materials have been used for insect repellent, paint used to mark the location of our facilities, and pole treatment, and as heating fuel, transformer oil, cable cleaner, batteries, diesel fuel, and in various other ways in the operation of those systems. We do not believe that these materials, when used in accordance with manufacturer instructions, pose an unreasonable hazard to those who use them or to the environment.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

We do not hold patents, franchises or concessions for communications services or local access services. We do hold registered service marks for the letters GCI^®, and for the terms SchoolAccess^®,Alaska United Fiber Optic Cable System^®, MDConnect^®, GCI ConnectMD^®, ConnectMD^®, GCI Hypernet^®, and MyGCI^®. The Communications Act of 1934 gives the FCC the authority to license and regulate the use of the electromagnetic spectrum for radio communications. We hold licenses through our long-distance services industry segment for our satellite and microwave transmission facilities for provision of long-distance services.

We acquired a license for use of a 30-MHz block of spectrum for providing PCS services in Alaska. We are required by the FCC to provide adequate broadband PCS service to at least two-thirds of the population in our licensed areas within 10 years of being licensed. The PCS license had an initial duration of 10 years. At the end of the license period, a renewal application was filed. Licenses may be revoked and license renewal applications may be denied for cause. The PCS license was renewed in 2005 for an additional 10-year term.

We acquired a LMDS license in 1998 for use of a 150-MHz block of spectrum in the 28 GHz Ka-band for providing wireless services. The LMDS license has an initial duration of 10 years. Within 10 years, licensees will be required to provide “substantial service” in their service regions. Our operations may require additional licenses in the future.

Earth stations are licensed generally for 15 years. The FCC also issues a single blanket license for a large number of technically identical earth stations (e.g., VSATs).

Regulation

Our businesses are subject to substantial government regulation and oversight. The following summary of regulatory issues does not purport to describe all existing and proposed federal, state, and local laws and regulations, or judicial and regulatory proceedings that affect our businesses. Existing laws and regulations are reviewed frequently by legislative bodies, regulatory agencies, and the courts and are subject to change. For example, critics continue to ask Congress to modify, if not altogether rework, the 1996 Telecom Act. Any change in the Act that loosened regulatory oversight of ILECs’ control of bottleneck facilities could have an adverse impact on our businesses. We cannot predict at this time the outcome of the debate over the 1996 Telecom Act or any other existing or proposed laws and regulations.

Wireline Voice Services and Products

General. As an interexchange carrier, we are subject to regulation by the FCC and by the RCA as a non-dominant provider of interstate, international, and intrastate long-distance services. As a state-certificated CLEC, we are subject to regulation by the RCA and the FCC as a non-dominant provider of local communications services. Military franchise requirements also affect our ability to provide communications services to military bases.

Rural Exemption. A Rural Telephone Company is exempt from compliance with certain material interconnection requirements under Section 251(c) of the 1996 Telecom Act, including the obligation to negotiate Section 251(c) interconnection requirements in good faith, unless and until a state regulatory commission lifts such “rural exemption” or otherwise finds it not to apply.

On April 2, 1997, we made a bona fide request to ACS for 251(c) interconnection in Fairbanks and Juneau and requested the RCA to lift the rural exemption for those two cities. After extensive regulatory and judicial action, we and ACS entered into a comprehensive settlement on April 18, 2004, that, in part, included a relinquishment by ACS of its rural exemption for its Fairbanks and Juneau operating companies.

On January 12, 2004, we made a bona fide request to MTA for 251(c) interconnection under Section 251(f)(1)(C) of the 1996 Telecom Act, which provides that the rural exemption does not apply to such a request from a cable operator seeking to provide telecommunications service in an area where a rural telephone company is providing video programming in competition with the cable operator. On February 2, 2005, the RCA ruled that MTA’s provision of video service through a wholly owned subsidiary meant that MTA’s rural exemption did not apply to our request. MTA subsequently petitioned the RCA to suspend and modify certain of its Section 251(c) obligations. On December 20, 2005, the RCA granted MTA’s petition for a three-year period. We have appealed the RCA’s decision. Following negotiation and arbitration of MTA’s remaining interconnection obligations, the RCA approved an interconnection agreement between MTA and us on February 17, 2006. We have commenced local service entry into Eagle River and intend to expand the service offering throughout the Mat-Su Valley during 2007.

On May 2, 2005, we made a bona fide request to the City of Ketchikan d/b/a “KPU” for 251(c) interconnection under Section 251(f)(1)(C) of the 196 Telecom Act. On June 3, 2005, we entered into a stipulation with KPU providing that KPU would forfeit its rural exemption and that negotiations for interconnection would commence when KPU executed its then existing plan to offer video programming. On November 14, 2006, the RCA approved the resulting interconnection agreement. We intend to commence local service entry into Ketchikan during 2007.

On May 17, 2006, we made a bona fide request to CVTC for 251(c) interconnection. This request resulted in a settlement under which CVTC agreed to negotiate section 251(a) and (b) interconnection with us subject to private arbitration if necessary. Negotiations and arbitration for an interconnection agreement with CVTC are ongoing.

See “Description of Our Business by Reportable Segment — Business — Local Access Services — Competition” for more information.

Access Charges and Other Regulated Fees. The FCC regulates the fees that local telephone companies charge long-distance companies for access to their local networks. The FCC is considering proposals to restructure and possibly reduce interstate access charges. Changes to the interstate access charge regime or introduction of new technologies not subject to access charges could fundamentally change the economics of some aspects of our business.

Carriers also pay fees for switched wholesale transport services in and out of Alaska. The rates for such services offered by and to any provider are currently governed by a federal law that is effective through December 31, 2009.

Access to Unbundled Network Elements. The ability to obtain unbundled network elements is an important element of our local exchange and exchange access services business. In 2005, the FCC, in response to a court decision, adopted new standards that generally curb access to certain ILEC high capacity loop and transport facilities. We do not believe that any of these standards are met for the markets we serve. The FCC also eliminated access to mass market switching, which we generally self-provision.

We cannot predict the extent to which existing FCC rules will be sustained in the face of additional legal action and the impact of any further rules that are yet to be determined by the FCC. For example, the FCC has pending a notice of proposed rulemaking for review of the pricing standard that governs the rates ILECs may charge competitors for access to unbundled network elements. The outcome of this regulatory proceeding could result in a change in our cost of serving new and existing markets. Moreover, the future regulatory classification of services that are transmitted over facilities may impact the extent to which we will be permitted access to such facilities.

Recurring and non-recurring charges for UNE-loops and other unbundled network elements may increase based on the rates adopted in RCA proceedings to establish new interconnection agreements or renew existing agreements. These increases could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On November 21, 2006, we received a decision from the U.S. district court on our appeal of a 2004 RCA order setting forth revised rates for unbundled network elements, resale, and terms and conditions for interconnection with ACS in the Anchorage service area. The court affirmed the RCA’s decision in all respects, denying both our appeal and ACS’ cross-appeal. The court’s decision became final on December 21, 2006.

On September 30, 2005, the ACS subsidiary serving Anchorage filed a petition with the FCC seeking forbearance from the requirement that it provide access to UNEs, and that to the extent it voluntarily did so, that the pricing provisions of the 1996 Telecom Act would not apply. On December 28, 2006, the FCC granted ACS the requested relief from the provision of unbundled loops and transport in five of its 11 tariffed wire centers. The relief is conditioned on the requirement that ACS make loops and certain subloops available in those wire centers where relief was granted, by no later than the transition period, at the same rates, terms and conditions as those negotiated between GCI and ACS for Fairbanks, until commercially negotiated rates are reached for the covered Anchorage wire centers. A one-year transition period applies, until December 28, 2007, before the forbearance grant takes effect. The decision is not final and remains subject to FCC and court review; therefore, we cannot predict at this time the outcome of this proceeding or its impact on us; however, our net cost of providing local telephone services in Anchorage could be materially adversely affected by an adverse decision upon review.

On May 22, 2006, the ACS subsidiary serving Anchorage filed a petition with the FCC, seeking forbearance from regulation of interstate broadband and access services. We filed a motion to dismiss on July 17, 2006 and our opposition to the petition on August 11, 2006. The FCC is required under statute to issue a decision by May 22, 2007, which it may extend by an additional 90 days at its discretion. We cannot predict at this time the outcome of this proceeding or its impact on us.

Universal Service. The Universal Service Fund pays subsidies to ETCs to support the provision of local telephone service in high-cost areas. Under FCC regulations, we have qualified as a competitive ETC in the Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and the Mat-Su Valley service areas. Without ETC status, we would not qualify for Universal Service Fund subsidies in these areas or other rural areas where we propose to offer local telephone services, and our net cost of providing local telephone services in these areas would be materially adversely affected.

The FCC periodically reviews and revises the operation of the Universal Service Fund. For example, in February 2005, the FCC adopted a recommendation from the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service to establish minimum requirements to guide ETC designations. We believe that the adopted changes will not have a material effect on our operations. Future regulatory, legislative, or judicial actions could affect the operation of the Universal Service Fund and result in a change in our net costs of providing local telephone services in new and existing markets.

Local Regulation. We may be required to obtain local permits for street opening and construction permits to install and expand our networks. Local zoning authorities often regulate our use of towers for microwave and other communications sites. We also are subject to general regulations concerning building codes and local licensing. The 1996 Telecom Act requires that fees charged to communications carriers be applied in a competitively neutral manner, but there can be no assurance that ILECs and others with whom we will be competing will bear costs similar to those we will bear in this regard.

Video Services and Products

General. Because cable communications systems use local streets and rights-of-way, they generally are operated pursuant to franchises (which can take the form of certificates, permits or licenses) granted by a municipality or other state or local government entity. The RCA is the franchising authority for all of Alaska. We believe that we have generally met the terms of our franchises, which do not require periodic renewal, and have provided quality levels of service. On December 20, 2006, the FCC adopted rules to ensure a reasonable franchising process for new video market entrants; we do not believe that the new rules will have a material effect on our operations. Military franchise requirements also affect our ability to provide video services to military bases.

The RCA is also certified under federal law to regulate rates for the basic service tier on our cable systems. Under state law, however, cable television service is exempt from regulation unless subscribers petition the RCA. At present, regulation of basic cable rates takes place only in Juneau. The RCA does not regulate rates for cable modem service.

Must Carry/Retransmission Consent. The 1992 Cable Act contains broadcast signal carriage requirements that allow local commercial television broadcast stations to elect once every three years to require a cable system to carry the station, subject to certain exceptions, or to negotiate for “retransmission consent” to carry the station.

The FCC has adopted rules to require cable operators to carry the digital programming streams of broadcast television stations. The FCC has also decided, however, that cable operators should not be required to carry both the analog and digital programming streams of broadcast television stations while broadcasters are transitioning from analog to digital transmission and that cable operators should not be required to carry multiple digital programming streams from a single broadcast television station. Should the FCC change this policy, we would be required to devote additional cable capacity to carrying broadcast television programming streams, a step that could require the removal of other programming services.

Cable System Delivery of Internet Service. The FCC has defined high-speed Internet over cable as an “information service” not subject to local cable-franchise fees, as cable service may be, or any explicit requirements for “open access,” as telecommunications service is. The Supreme Court affirmed the FCC’s position in a decision issued on June 27, 2005.

Although there is at present no significant federal regulation of cable system delivery of Internet services, this situation may change as cable systems expand their broadband delivery of Internet services. Proposals have been advanced at the FCC and Congress to require cable operators to provide access to unaffiliated Internet service providers and online service providers and to govern the terms under which content providers and applications are delivered by all broadband network operators. If such requirements were imposed on cable operators, it could burden the capacity of cable systems and frustrate our plans for providing expanded Internet access services. These access obligations could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Segregated Security for Set-top Devices. The FCC has mandated, effective July 1, 2007, that all new set-top video navigation devices must segregate the security function from the navigation function. The new devices are more expensive than existing equipment, and compliance would increase our cost of providing cable services. A waiver has been granted to one small cable system conditioned upon, among other things, its commitment to fully digitize analog signals throughout its cable network. The FCC has also indicated that enforcement of the separate security requirement may be deferred with respect to small cable operators that meet certain criteria and are unable to receive compliant set-top devices in a timely manner from manufacturers. GCI’s request for both a waiver and a deferral is pending before the FCC.

Pole Attachments. The Communications Act requires the FCC to regulate the rates, terms and conditions imposed by public utilities for cable systems’ use of utility pole and conduit space unless state authorities can demonstrate that they adequately regulate pole attachment rates. In the absence of state regulation, the FCC administers pole attachment rates on a formula basis. This formula governs the maximum rate certain utilities may charge for attachments to their poles and conduit by companies providing communications services, including cable operators. The RCA has largely retained the existing pole attachment formula that has been in state regulation since 1987. This formula could be subject to further revisions upon petition to the RCA. We cannot predict at this time the outcome of any such proceedings.

Copyright. Cable television systems are subject to federal copyright licensing covering carriage of television and radio broadcast signals. In exchange for filing certain reports and contributing a percentage of their revenues to a federal copyright royalty pool that varies depending on the size of the system, the number of distant broadcast television signals carried, and the location of the cable system, cable operators can obtain blanket permission to retransmit copyrighted material included in broadcast signals. The possible modification or elimination of this compulsory copyright license is the subject of continuing legislative review. We cannot predict the outcome of this legislative review, which could adversely affect our ability to obtain desired broadcast programming. Copyright clearances for non-broadcast programming services are arranged through private negotiations.

Internet-Based Services and Products

General. There is no one entity or organization that governs the Internet. Each facilities-based network provider that is interconnected with the global Internet controls operational aspects of their own network. Certain functions, such as IP addressing, domain name routing, and the definition of the TCP/IP protocol, are coordinated by an array of quasi-governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental bodies. The legal authority of these bodies is not precisely defined.

The 1996 Telecom Act provides little direct guidance as to whether the FCC has authority to regulate Internet-based services. Given the absence of clear statutory guidance, the FCC must determine on a case-by-case basis whether it has the authority or the obligation to exercise regulatory jurisdiction over specific Internet-based activities.

Although the FCC does not regulate the prices charged by ISPs or Internet backbone providers, the vast majority of users connect to the Internet over facilities of existing communications carriers. Those communications carriers are subject to varying levels of regulation at both the federal and the state level. Thus, non-Internet-specific regulatory decisions exercise a significant influence over the economics of the Internet market.

Many aspects of the coordination and regulation of Internet activities and the underlying networks over which those activities are conducted are evolving. Internet-specific and non-Internet-specific changes in the regulatory environment, including changes that affect communications costs or increase competition from ILECs or other communications services providers, could adversely affect the prices at which we sell Internet-based services.

Wireless Services and Products

General. The FCC regulates the licensing, construction, interconnection, operation, acquisition, and transfer of wireless network systems in the United States pursuant to the Communications Act. As a licensee of PCS, LMDS, and other wireless services, we are subject to regulation by the FCC, and must comply with certain build-out and other license conditions, as well as with the FCC’s specific regulations governing the PCS and LMDS services (described above). The FCC does not currently regulate rates for services offered by commercial mobile radio service providers.

Commercial mobile radio service wireless systems are subject to Federal Aviation Administration and FCC regulations governing the location, lighting and construction of antenna structures on which our antennas and associated equipment are located and are also subject to regulation under federal environmental laws and the FCC’s environmental regulations, including limits on radio frequency radiation from wireless handsets and antennas on towers.

Assignments or Transfers of Control. The FCC (and in some instances, the Department of Justice) must grant prior approval to any assignment or transfer of control of an FCC spectrum license. On December 22, 2006, the FCC released an order approving our acquisition of 78% percent of the equity of Alaska DigiTel, a statewide commercial mobile radio service provider in Alaska, in a non-control transaction.

Universal Service. A wireless carrier may seek ETC status so that it can receive subsidies from the Universal Service Fund to support the provision of wireless voice service to consumers residing in certain high cost areas. Several wireless carriers have successfully applied to the RCA for ETC status in Alaska.

Emergency 911. The FCC has imposed rules requiring carriers to provide emergency 911 services, including enhanced 911 services that provide to local public safety dispatch agencies the caller’s communications number and approximate location. Providers are required to transmit the geographic coordinates of the customer’s location within accuracy parameters set forth by the FCC, either by means of network-based or handset-based technologies. Providers may not demand cost recovery as a condition of doing so, although they are permitted to negotiate cost recovery if it is not mandated by the state or local governments.

State and Local Regulation. While the Communications Act generally preempts state and local governments from regulating the entry of, or the rates charged by, wireless carriers, it also permits a state to petition the FCC to allow it to impose commercial mobile radio service rate regulation when market conditions fail adequately to protect customers and such service is a replacement for a substantial portion of the telephone wireline exchange service within a state. No state currently has such a petition on file, and all prior efforts have been rejected. In addition, the Communications Act does not expressly preempt the states from regulating the “terms and conditions” of wireless service.

Several states have invoked this “terms and conditions” authority to impose or propose various consumer protection regulations on the wireless industry. State attorneys general have also become more active in enforcing state consumer protection laws against sales practices and services of wireless carriers. States also may impose their own universal service support requirements on wireless and other communications carriers, similar to the contribution requirements that have been established by the FCC.

States have become more active in imposing new taxes on wireless carriers, such as gross receipts taxes, and fees for items such as the use of public rights of way. These taxes and fees are generally passed through to our customers and result in higher costs to our customers.

At the local level, wireless facilities typically are subject to zoning and land use regulation. Neither local nor state governments may categorically prohibit the construction of wireless facilities in any community or take actions, such as indefinite moratoria, which have the effect of prohibiting construction. Nonetheless, securing state and local government approvals for new tower sites has been and is likely to continue to be difficult, lengthy and costly.

Financial Information about our Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales

Although we have several agreements to help originate and terminate international toll traffic, we do not have foreign operations or export sales. We conduct our operations throughout the western contiguous United States and Alaska and believe that any subdivision of our operations into distinct geographic areas would not be meaningful. Revenues associated with international toll traffic were $2.5 million, $2.6 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Customer-Sponsored Research

We have not expended material amounts during the last three fiscal years on customer-sponsored research activities.

Backlog of Orders and Inventory

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, our Commercial segment had a backlog of Private Line orders of approximately $169,000 and $76,000, respectively, which represents recurring monthly charges for Private Line and broadband services. We expect that all of the Private Line orders in backlog at the end of 2006 will be delivered during 2007.

Geographic Concentration and Alaska Economy

We offer voice and data communications and video services to customers primarily in the State of Alaska. Because of this geographic concentration, growth of our business and operations depends upon economic conditions in Alaska. The economy of the State of Alaska is dependent upon natural resource industries, in particular oil production, as well as investment earnings (including earnings from the State of Alaska Permanent Fund), tourism, government, and United States military spending. Any deterioration in these markets could have an adverse impact on us. Oil revenues are the second largest source of state revenues, following funds from investment sources. The slow economic recovery in the Lower 48 States appears to have dampened demand for services provided by our large common carrier customers. To the extent that these customers experience reduced demand for traffic destined for and originating in Alaska, it could adversely affect our common carrier traffic and associated revenues. See “Part I — Item 1A — Risk Factors — Our

business is currently geographically concentrated in Alaska,” and “Part II — Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for more information about the effect of geographic concentration and the Alaska economy on us.

Employees

We employed 1,264 persons as of February 5, 2007, and we are not party to union contracts with our employees. We believe our future success will depend upon our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified employees. We believe that relations with our employees are satisfactory.

In 2005, we announced a restructuring of our operations and employees to create a more effective and efficient organizational structure. The restructuring was effective beginning January 1, 2006 and included work force reductions. Additional information regarding the impacts of our restructuring can be found in note 12 included in “Part II — Item 8 — Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

No material portion of our businesses is subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts at the election of the federal government.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Factors That May Affect Our Business and Future Results

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business operations. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We depend on a small number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenue and business. The loss of any of such customers would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, we provided long-distance services (excluding private lines and other revenue) to Verizon, Sprint Nextel, and Dobson which generated combined revenues of approximately 20.2% of our total 2006 revenues. These customers are free to seek out long-distance communications services from our competitors upon expiration of their contracts (in December 2009 in the case of Verizon; in March 2009 in the case of Sprint Nextel; and in 2014 in the case of Dobson) or earlier upon the occurrence of certain contractually stipulated events including a default, the occurrence of a force majeure event, or a substantial change in applicable law or regulation under the applicable contract. Additionally, the contracts provide for periodic reviews to assure that the prices paid by Verizon and Sprint Nextel for their services remain competitive.

Mergers and acquisitions in the communications industry are relatively common. If a change in control of Dobson or Sprint Nextel were to occur, and in the case of the change in control of Verizon, such change in control would not permit them to terminate their existing contracts with us, but could in the future result in the termination of or a material adverse change in our relationships with Verizon, Dobson or Sprint Nextel.

In addition, Verizon’s, Dobson’s and Sprint Nextel’s need for our long-distance services depends directly upon their ability to obtain and retain their own long-distance and wireless customers and upon the needs of those customers for long-distance services.

The loss of one or more of Verizon, Dobson or Sprint Nextel as customers, a material adverse change in our relationships with either of them or a material loss of or reduction in their long-distance customers would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

We face competition that may reduce our market share and harm our financial performance.

There is substantial competition in the communications industry. The traditional dividing lines between long-distance telephone service, local access telephone service, wireless telephone service, Internet services and video services are increasingly becoming blurred. Through mergers and various service integration strategies, major providers are striving to

provide integrated communications services offerings within and across geographic markets. We face increasing video services competition from DBS providers.

We expect competition to increase as a result of the rapid development of new technologies, products and services. We cannot predict which of many possible future technologies, products or services will be important to maintain our competitive position or what expenditures will be required to develop and provide these technologies, products or services. Our ability to compete successfully will depend on marketing and on our ability to anticipate and respond to various competitive factors affecting the industry, including new services that may be introduced, changes in consumer preferences, economic conditions and pricing strategies by competitors. To the extent we do not keep pace with technological advances or fail to timely respond to changes in competitive factors in our industry and in our markets, we could lose market share or experience a decline in our revenue and net income. Competitive conditions create a risk of market share loss and the risk that customers shift to less profitable lower margin services. Competitive pressures also create challenges for our ability to grow new businesses or introduce new services successfully and execute our business plan. Each of our business segments also faces the risk of potential price cuts by our competitors that could materially adversely affect our market share and gross margins.

For more information about competition by segment, see the sections titled “Competition” included in “Item 1 — Business — Narrative Description of our Business — Description of our Business by Reportable Segment.”

Our business is subject to extensive governmental legislation and regulation. Applicable legislation and regulations and changes to them could adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Local Access Services. Our success in the local telephone market depends on our continued ability to obtain interconnection, access and related services from local exchange carriers on terms that are just and reasonable and that are based on the cost of providing these services. Our local telephone services business faces the risk of the impact of the implementation of current regulations and legislation, unfavorable changes in regulation or legislation or the introduction of new regulations. Our ability to enter into the local telephone market depends on our negotiation or arbitration with local exchange carriers to allow interconnection to the carrier’s existing local telephone network, to establish dialing parity, to obtain access to rights-of-way, to resell services offered by the local exchange carrier, and in some cases, to allow the purchase, at cost-based rates, of access to unbundled network elements. In some Alaska markets, it also depends on our ability to gain interconnection at economic costs. Future arbitration proceedings with respect to new or existing markets could result in a change in our cost of serving these markets via the facilities of the ILEC or via wholesale offerings.

Video Services. The cable television industry is subject to extensive regulation at various levels, and many aspects of such regulation are currently the subject of judicial proceedings and administrative or legislative proposals. The law permits certified local franchising authorities to order refunds of rates paid in the previous 12-month period determined to be in excess of the reasonable rates. It is possible that rate reductions or refunds of previously collected fees may be required of us in the future. Currently, pursuant to Alaska law, the basic cable rates in Juneau are the only rates in Alaska subject to regulation by the local franchising authority, and the rates in Juneau were reviewed and approved by the RCA in January 2007.

Other existing federal regulations, currently the subject of judicial, legislative, and administrative review, could change, in varying degrees, the manner in which cable television systems operate. Neither the outcome of these proceedings nor their impact upon the cable television industry in general, or on our activities and prospects in the cable television business in particular, can be predicted at this time. There can be no assurance that future regulatory actions taken by Congress, the FCC or other federal, state or local government authorities will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Proposals may be made before Congress and the FCC to mandate cable operators provide “open access” over their cable systems to Internet service providers. As of the date of this report, the FCC has declined to impose such requirements. If the FCC or other authorities mandate additional access to our cable systems, we cannot predict the effect that this would have on our Internet service offerings.

Internet Services. Changes in the regulatory environment relating to the Internet access market, including changes in legislation, FCC regulation, judicial action or local regulation that affect communications costs or increase competition from the ILEC or other communications services providers, could adversely affect the prices at which we sell Internet

services. Legislative or regulatory proposals under the banner of “net neutrality”, if adopted, could interfere with our ability to reasonably manage and invest in our broadband network, and could adversely affect the manner and price of providing service.

Wireless Services. The licensing, construction, operation, sale and interconnection arrangements of wireless communications systems are regulated by the FCC and, depending on the jurisdiction, state and local regulatory agencies. In particular, the FCC imposes significant regulation on licensees of wireless spectrum with respect to:

•

How radio spectrum is used by licensees;

•

The nature of the services that licensees may offer and how such services may be offered; and

•

Resolution of issues of interference between spectrum bands.

The Communications Act of 1934 preempts state and local regulation of market entry by, and the rates charged by, Commercial mobile radio service providers, except that states may exercise authority over such things as certain billing practices and consumer-related issues. These regulations could increase the costs of our wireless operations. The FCC grants wireless licenses for terms of generally ten years that are subject to renewal and revocation. FCC rules require all wireless licensees to meet certain build-out requirements and substantially comply with applicable FCC rules and policies and the Communications Act of 1934 in order to retain their licenses. Failure to comply with FCC requirements in a given license area could result in revocation of the license for that license area. There is no guarantee that our licenses will be renewed. You should also see the risk factor below titled “We may not fully develop our wireless services, in which case we could not meet the needs of our customers who desire packaged services.”

The FCC has initiated a number of proceedings to evaluate its rules and policies regarding spectrum licensing and usage. New uses could adversely impact our utilization of our licensed spectrum and our operational costs.

Commercial mobile radio service providers must implement E911 capabilities in accordance with FCC rules. Failure to deploy E911 service consistent with FCC requirements could subject us to significant fines.

The FCC, together with the FAA, also regulates tower marking and lighting. In addition, tower construction is affected by federal, state and local statutes addressing zoning, environmental protection and historic preservation. The FCC adopted significant changes to its rules governing historic preservation review of projects, which makes it more difficult and expensive to deploy antenna facilities. The FCC is also considering changes to its rules regarding environmental protection as related to tower construction, which, if adopted, could make it more difficult to deploy facilities.

For more information about Regulations affecting our operations, see “Competition” contained in “Item 1 — Business — Narrative Description of our Business — Regulation, Franchise Authorizations and Tariffs.”

Our businesses are currently geographically concentrated in Alaska. Any deterioration in the economic conditions in Alaska could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We offer voice and data communication and video services to customers primarily in the State of Alaska. Because of this geographic concentration, our growth and operations depend upon economic conditions in Alaska. The economy of Alaska is dependent upon natural resource industries, in particular oil production, as well as tourism, and government spending including substantial amounts for the United States military. Any deterioration in these markets could have an adverse impact on the demand for communication and cable television services and on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the customer base in Alaska is limited. Alaska has a population of approximately 670,000 people, approximately 54% of whom are located in the Anchorage and Matanuska-Susitna Borough region. We have already achieved significant market penetration with respect to our service offerings in Anchorage and in other locations in Alaska.

We may not be able to continue to increase our market share of the existing markets for our services, and no assurance can be given that the Alaskan economy will continue to grow and increase the size of the markets we serve or increase the demand for the services we offer. As a result, the best opportunities for expanding our business may arise in other geographic areas such as the Lower 49 States. There can be no assurance that we will find attractive opportunities to grow our businesses outside the State of Alaska or that we will have the necessary expertise to take advantage of such opportunities. The markets in Alaska for voice and data communications and video services are unique and distinct within the United States due to Alaska’s large geographical size, its sparse population located in a limited number of clusters,

and its distance from the rest of the United States. The expertise we have developed in operating our businesses in the State of Alaska may not provide us with the necessary expertise to successfully enter other geographic markets.

We may not fully develop our wireless services, in which case we could not meet the needs of our customers who desire packaged services.

We offer wireless mobile services by distributing other providers’ wireless mobile services. We offer wireless local telephone services over our own facilities, and have purchased personal communications system, or PCS, and local multipoint distribution system, or LMDS, wireless broadband licenses in FCC auctions covering markets in Alaska. We have entered into an agreement to acquire a substantial ownership interest in Alaska DigiTel (see “Part I — Item 1 — Business — Recent Developments — Alaska DigiTel Acquisition and Loan” for more information.) We have fewer subscribers to our wireless services than to our other service offerings. The geographic coverage of our wireless services is also smaller than the geographic coverage of our other services. Some of our competitors offer or propose to offer an integrated bundle of communications, entertainment and information services, including wireless services. If we are unable to expand and further develop our wireless services, we may not be able to meet the needs of customers who desire packaged services, and our competitors who offer these services would have an advantage. This could result in the loss of market share for our other service offerings.

As a PCS and LMDS licensee, we are subject to regulation by the FCC, and must comply with certain build-out and other conditions of the licenses, as well as with the FCC’s regulations governing the PCS and LMDS services. The FCC renewed our PCS license in 2005 for an additional 10-year term.

Prolonged service interruptions could affect our business.

We rely heavily on our network equipment, communications providers, data and software, to support all of our functions. We rely on our networks and the networks of others for substantially all of our revenues. We are able to deliver services only to the extent that we can protect our network systems against damage from power or communication failures, computer viruses, natural disasters, unauthorized access and other disruptions. While we endeavor to provide for failures in the network by providing back-up systems and procedures, we cannot guarantee that these back-up systems and procedures will operate satisfactorily in an emergency. Should we experience a prolonged failure, it could seriously jeopardize our ability to continue operations. In particular, should a significant service interruption occur, our ongoing customers may choose a different provider, and our reputation may be damaged, reducing our attractiveness to new customers.

To the extent that any disruption or security breach results in a loss or damage to our customers’ data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential information, we may incur liability and suffer from adverse publicity. In addition, we may incur additional costs to remedy the damage caused by these disruptions or security breaches.

If failures occur in our undersea fiber optic cables, our ability to immediately restore the entirety of our service may be limited, which could lead to a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Our communications facilities include an undersea fiber optic cable that carries a large portion of our Internet voice and data traffic to and from the contiguous Lower 48 States. We completed construction of AULP West in June 2004 that provides an alternative geographically diverse backup communications facility. If a failure of both sides of the ring of our undersea fiber optic facilities occurs and we are not able to secure alternative facilities, some of the communications services we offer to our customers could be interrupted, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

If a failure occurs in our satellite communications systems, our ability to immediately restore the entirety of our service may be limited.

We serve many rural and remote Alaska locations solely via satellite communications. Each of our C and Ku-band satellite transponders is backed up on the same spacecraft with multiple backup transponders. The primary spacecraft we use to provide voice, data and internet services to our rural Alaska customers is Intelsat’s Galaxy XR, but we also lease capacity on two other spacecraft for services we provide, SES Americom’s AMC-7 and AMC-8. On Galaxy XR, we use 7 C-band transponders.

Galaxy XR experienced a failure August 3, 2004 of its secondary xenon ion propulsion system (“XIPS”) that maintains the satellite’s proper orbital position. The primary XIPS failed in February 2004. The satellite is now using its backup bi-propellant thrusters to maintain its orbital position. These thrusters are a space flight proven technology. The failure of the primary and secondary XIPS had no short term impact on service to our customers. Intelsat, the owner and operator of Galaxy XR, believes the satellite has sufficient fuel to continue normal operations until approximately March 2008. The terms of our Galaxy XR transponder purchase agreement extends through March 2012. Intelsat intends to replace the satellite before its estimated end-of-life. The launch of the replacement satellite is expected to occur in September 2007. We purchased a warranty with the original agreement to cover a loss of this nature. We have had an agreement in place that provides backup transponder capacity on the Galaxy XIII satellite in the event of a catastrophic failure of Galaxy XR.

If such a failure occurs, service may not be fully restored for up to a week or longer due to the time necessary to redirect earth station antennae. We also own one Ku-band satellite transponder on the same primary spacecraft (Galaxy XR) that provides our C-band service. In the event of total primary spacecraft failure, we believe we would be able to restore our Ku-band transponder traffic on Galaxy XIII, although no pre-arrangement for its backup is currently in place. We also lease approximately 13 megahertz of protected and backed-up C-band capacity on SES Americom’s AMC-8 spacecraft. SES Americom’s AMC-7 is the backup spacecraft for AMC-8. We also lease certain C-band transponder capacity on AMC-7 that can be preempted in the case of a satellite failure. The services that are preempted would not be immediately restored should AMC-7 fail or be called up to provide restoration of another of SES Americom’s spacecraft.

There is additional uncertainty that the replacement spacecraft, Galaxy 18, will be launched successfully and will become fully operational once in orbit. Additionally, Galaxy XR station-keeping fuel may not last the estimated or expected amount of time before the replacement spacecraft is operational. Such a loss of station-keeping fuel would cause the spacecraft to drift out of its normal orbital position and our fixed ground antennas would no longer point directly at the spacecraft causing loss of signal and thus loss of communications with the spacecraft. We would have to restore our services to backup satellite facilities with little time to prepare for such a move and may experience extended service outages as a result.

We depend on a limited number of third-party vendors to supply communications equipment. If we do not obtain the necessary communications equipment, we will not be able to meet the needs of our customers.

We depend on a limited number of third-party vendors to supply cable, Internet, DLPS and telephony-related equipment. If our providers of this equipment are unable to timely supply the equipment necessary to meet our needs or provide them at an acceptable cost, we may not be able to satisfy demand for our services and competitors may fulfill this demand. Due to the unique characteristics of the Alaska communications markets (i.e., remote locations, rural, satellite-served, low density populations, and our leading edge products and services), in many situations we deploy and utilize specialized, advanced technology and equipment that may not have a large market or demand. Our vendors may not succeed in developing sufficient market penetration to sustain continuing production and may fail. Vendor bankruptcy (or acquisition without continuing product support by the acquiring company) may require us to replace technology before its otherwise useful end of life due to lack of on-going vendor support and product development.

We do not have insurance to cover certain risks to which we are subject, which could lead to the incurrence of uninsured liabilities that adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We are self-insured for damage or loss to certain of our transmission facilities, including our buried, under sea and above-ground transmission lines. If we become subject to substantial uninsured liabilities due to damage or loss to such facilities, our financial position, results of operations or liquidity may be adversely affected.

We must apply a direct value method to determine the fair value of our cable certificate assets for purposes of impairment testing on an annual basis. Impairment testing may result in a material, non-cash write-down of our cable certificate or goodwill assets and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” we must test our goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually. On September 29, 2004, the SEC issued SEC Staff Announcement Topic “Use of the Residual Method to Value Acquired Assets Other than Goodwill,” requiring us to apply a direct value method to determine the fair value of our intangible assets with indefinite lives other than goodwill for purposes of impairment testing. We must also recognize previously unrecognized intangible assets, if any, in the determination of fair value for impairment testing purposes. Our cable certificate assets are our only indefinite-lived assets other than goodwill as of December 31, 2006. Our cable certificate assets were originally valued and recorded using the residual method. Impairment testing of our cable certificate assets in future periods under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 must use a direct value method pursuant to such SEC Staff Announcement, which may result in a material, non-cash write-down of our cable certificate assets and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Our significant debt could adversely affect our business and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our senior notes.

We have and will continue to have a significant amount of debt. On December 31, 2006, we had total debt of approximately $492.8 million. Our high level of debt could have important consequences, including the following:

•

use of a large portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our senior notes, the senior secured credit facility and our other debt, which will reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development expenditures and other business activities;

•

current and future debt under our senior secured credit facility will continue to be secured;

•

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

•

restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities;

•

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the senior notes and our other debt;

•

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

•

limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our debt, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds, dispose of assets or pay cash dividends.

In addition, a substantial amount of our debt bears interest at variable rates. If market interest rates increase, variable-rate debt will create higher debt service requirements, which would adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We will require a significant amount of cash to service our debt. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our debt and to fund planned capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that may be beyond our control.

Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and future borrowings may not be available to us under our senior secured credit facility or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity. We may not be able to refinance any of our debt on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

The terms of our debt impose restrictions on us that may affect our ability to successfully operate our business and our ability to make payments on the senior notes.

The indenture governing our senior notes contains and/or the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to:

•

incur additional debt and issue preferred stock;

•

pay dividends or make other restricted payments;

•

make certain investments;

•

create liens;

•

allow restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us;

•

sell assets;

•

merge or consolidate with other entities; and

•

enter into transactions with affiliates.

The senior secured credit facility also requires us to comply with specified financial ratios and tests, including, but not limited to, minimum interest coverage ratio, maximum leverage ratio and maximum annual capital expenditures.

These covenants could materially and adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs and to engage in other business activities that may be in our best interest.

All of these covenants may restrict our ability to expand or to pursue our business strategies. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, such as prevailing economic conditions and changes in regulations, and if such events occur, we cannot be sure that we will be able to comply. A breach of these covenants could result in a default under the indenture governing our senior notes and/or the senior secured credit facility. If there were an event of default under the indenture for the senior notes and/or the senior secured credit facility, holders of such defaulted debt could cause all amounts borrowed under these instruments to be due and payable immediately. Additionally, if we fail to repay the debt under the senior secured credit facility when it becomes due, the lenders under the senior secured credit facility could proceed against certain of our assets and capital stock of our subsidiaries that we have pledged to them as security. Our assets or cash flow may not be sufficient to repay borrowings under our outstanding debt instruments in the event of a default thereunder.

A significant percentage of our voting securities are owned by a small number of shareholders and these shareholders can control stockholder decisions on very important matters.

As of December 31, 2006, our executive officers and directors and their affiliates owned approximately 7.9% of our combined outstanding Class A and class B common stock, representing approximately 29.6% of the combined voting power of that stock. These shareholders can significantly influence, if not control, our management policy and all fundamental corporate actions, including mergers, substantial acquisitions and dispositions, and election of directors to the Board.

Corporate governance rules may impose increased costs and internal control assessment requirements on us.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and the Nasdaq National Market have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. For example, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting and have our auditor attest to such evaluation. We expect to incur ongoing costs to comply with these rules and regulations and may incur increased legal and financial compliance costs that may negatively affect our results of operations.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

Our management has determined that as of December 31, 2006, we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework as a result of two identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The material weaknesses are as follows.

Our policies and procedures did not provide for the review of billing rate changes in two of our systems that produce invoices for our common carrier customers. As a result, the entry of incorrect rates input into these billing systems was not detected, and we over-billed several of our common carrier customers, resulting in material misstatements of revenue and accounts receivable in our preliminary 2006 consolidated financial

statements. Our revenue and accounts receivable were corrected prior to the issuance of our 2006 consolidated financial statements.

Our policies and procedures did not provide for effective analysis and implementation of accounting pronouncements as applied to non-routine transactions. As a result, an error was made regarding the interpretation and application of generally accepted accounting principles related to our 2005 purchase of shares of our Series B preferred stock. The amount that we paid for the preferred stock in excess of the carrying amount of the shares on our balance sheet should have reduced the amount of net income available to common shareholders used to calculate basic and diluted net income per common share. This material weakness resulted in the restatement, during December 2006, of our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. This material weakness also resulted in the misstatement of accrued liabilities and non-cash compensation expense in our preliminary 2006 consolidated financial statements. Our accrued liabilities and non-cash compensation expense were corrected prior to the issuance of our 2006 consolidated financial statements.

For a detailed description of these material weaknesses and our remediation efforts and plans, see “Part II — Item 9A — Controls and Procedures.” These control deficiencies resulted in material errors in our financial reporting, which in part resulted in a restatement of our 2005 consolidated financial statements, as discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In response to these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we are implementing additional controls and procedures and may incur additional related expenses. We cannot be certain that the measures we have taken and are planning to take will sufficiently and satisfactorily remediate the identified material weaknesses in full. Furthermore, we intend to continue improving our internal control over financial reporting and the implementation and testing of these efforts could result in increased cost and could divert management attention away from operating our business.

If the results of our remediation of the identified material weaknesses discussed above are not successful, or if additional material weaknesses are identified in our internal control over financial reporting, our management will be unable to report favorably as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and/or our disclosure controls and procedures, and we could be required to further implement expensive and time-consuming remedial measures and potentially lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports which could have an adverse effect on our stock price and potentially subject us to litigation.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 2. Properties

General

Our properties do not lend themselves to description by character or location of principal units. Our investment in property and equipment in our consolidated operations consisted of the following at December 31:

	2006	2005
Telephone distribution systems	65.1%	64.9%
Cable television distribution systems	18.2%	22.9%
Support equipment	11.0%	9.8%
Property and equipment under capital leases	0.4%	0.1%
Construction in progress	3.5%	1.0%
Transportation equipment	0.8%	0.7%
Land and buildings	1.0%	0.6%
Total	100.0%	100.0%

It is not practicable to allocate our properties to our new operating segments since many of our properties are employed by more than one segment to provide common services and products.

These properties consist primarily of undersea and land-based fiber-optic networks, switching equipment, satellite transponders and earth stations, microwave radio and cable and wire facilities, cable head-end equipment, coaxial distribution networks, routers, servers, transportation equipment, computer equipment and general office equipment. Land and buildings consist of land, land improvements and landing station and other buildings. Substantially all of our properties secure our Senior Credit Facility. See note 7 included in “Part II — Item 8 — Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for more information.

Our cable television plant and related equipment are generally attached to utility poles under pole rental agreements with local public utilities and telephone companies and in certain locations are buried in underground ducts or trenches. We own or lease real property for signal reception sites.

Our local access services outside plant consists of connecting lines (aerial, underground and buried cable), the majority of which is on or under public roads, highways or streets, while the remainder is on or under private property.

Our construction in progress totaled $30.0 million at December 31, 2006, consisting of long-distance, video, local and Internet services, and support systems projects that were incomplete at December 31, 2006. Our construction in progress totaled $8.3 million at December 31, 2005, consisting of long-distance, video, local and Internet services, and support systems projects that were incomplete at December 31, 2005.

We lease our executive, corporate and administrative facilities and business offices. Our operating, executive, corporate and administrative properties are in good condition. We consider our properties suitable and adequate for our present needs and they are being fully utilized.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures consist primarily of (a) gross additions to property, plant and equipment having an estimated service life of one year or more, plus the incidental costs of preparing the asset for its intended use, and (b) gross additions to capitalized software.

The total investment in property, plant and equipment has increased from $574.7 million at January 1, 2002 to $855.8 million at December 31, 2006, including construction in progress and excluding deductions of accumulated depreciation. Significant additions to property, plant and equipment will be required in the future to meet the growing demand for communications, Internet and entertainment services and to continually modernize and improve such services to meet competitive demands.

Additions to property and equipment and construction in progress for 2002 through 2006 were as follows (in millions):

2002	$	65.1
2003	$	62.5
2004	$	112.6
2005	$	81.2
2006	$	105.1

We expect our 2007 expenditures for property and equipment for our core operations, including construction in progress and excluding the Galaxy 18 satellite transponder capacity lease discussed above and potential additional investments in Alaska DigiTel, to total $130.0 million to $135.0 million, depending on available opportunities and the amount of cash flow we generate during 2007. We have made capital and operating purchase commitments totaling approximately $18.0 million at December 31, 2006. A majority of the expenditures are expected to expand, enhance and modernize our current networks, facilities and operating systems, and to develop other businesses.

We funded our normal business capital requirements substantially through internal sources during 2006 and, to the extent necessary, from external financing sources. We expect expenditures for 2007 to be financed in the same manner.

Insurance

We have insurance to cover risks incurred in the ordinary course of business, including general liability, property coverage, director and officers and employment practices liability, auto, crime, fiduciary, aviation, and business interruption insurance in amounts typical of similar operators in our industry and with reputable insurance providers. Central office equipment, buildings, furniture and fixtures and certain operating and other equipment are insured under a blanket property insurance program. This program provides substantial limits of coverage against “all risks” of loss

including fire, windstorm, flood, earthquake and other perils not specifically excluded by the terms of the policies. As is typical in the communications industry, we are self-insured for damage or loss to certain of our transmission facilities, including our buried, under sea, and above-ground transmission lines. We self-insure with respect to employee health insurance and workers’ compensation, subject to stop-loss insurance with other parties that caps our liability at specified limits. We believe our insurance coverage is adequate; however, if we become subject to substantial uninsured liabilities due to damage or loss to such facilities, our financial results may be adversely affected.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Except as set forth in this item, neither the Company, its property nor any of its subsidiaries or their property is a party to or subject to any material pending legal proceedings. We are parties to various claims and pending litigation as part of the normal course of business. We are also involved in several administrative proceedings and filings with the FCC and state regulatory authorities. In the opinion of management, the nature and disposition of these matters are considered routine and arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes these matters would not have a materially adverse affect on our business or financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 4. Submissions of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of 2006 to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Holders

As of December 31, 2006 there were 2,072 holders of record of our Class A common stock and 400 holders of record of our Class B common stock (amounts do not include the number of shareholders whose shares are held of record by brokers, but do include the brokerage house as one shareholder).

Dividends

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and we have no present intention of doing so. Payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors in light of our earnings, financial condition and other relevant considerations. Our existing bank loan agreements contain provisions that limit payment of dividends on common stock, other than stock dividends (see note 7 included in “Part II — Item 8 — Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for more information).

Stock Transfer Agent and Registrar

Mellon Investor Services is our stock transfer agent and registrar.

Performance Graph

The following graph includes a line graph comparing the yearly percentage change in our cumulative total shareholder return on our Class A common stock during the five-year period 2002 through 2006. This return is measured by dividing (1) the sum of (a) the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period (assuming dividend reinvestment, if any) and (b) the difference between our share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period, by (2) the share price at the beginning of that measurement period. This line graph is compared in the following graph with two other line graphs during that five-year period, i.e., a market index and a peer index.

The market index is the Center for Research in Securities Price Index for the Nasdaq Stock Market for United States companies. It presents cumulative total returns for a broad based equity market assuming reinvestment of dividends and is based upon companies whose equity securities are traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The peer index is the Center for Research in Securities Price Index for Nasdaq Telecommunications Stock. It presents cumulative total returns for the equity market in the telecommunications industry segment assuming reinvestment of dividends and is based upon companies whose equity securities are traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The line graphs represent monthly index levels derived from compounding daily returns.

In constructing each of the line graphs in the following graph, the closing price at the beginning point of the five-year measurement period has been converted into a fixed investment, stated in dollars, in our Class A common stock (or in the stock represented by a given index, in the cases of the two comparison indexes), with cumulative returns for each subsequent fiscal year measured as a change from that investment. Data for each succeeding fiscal year during the five-year measurement period are plotted with points showing the cumulative total return as of that point. The value of a shareholder’s investment as of each point plotted on a given line graph is the number of shares held at that point multiplied by the then prevailing share price.

Our Class B common stock is traded through the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board service on a more limited basis. Therefore, comparisons similar to those previously described for the Class A common stock are not directly available. However, the performance of Class B common stock may be analogized to that of the Class A common stock in that the Class B common stock is readily convertible into Class A common stock by request to us.

The Selected Financial Data should be read in conjunction with “Part II — Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In the following discussion, General Communication, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are referred to as “we,” “us” and “our.”

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to unbilled revenues, cost of goods sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense) (“Cost of Goods Sold”) accruals, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation expense, depreciation, amortization and accretion periods, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See also our “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and supplementary data as presented in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

General Overview

Through our focus on long-term results, acquisitions, and strategic capital investments, we strive to consistently grow our revenues and expand our margins. We have historically met our cash needs for operations, regular capital expenditures and maintenance capital expenditures through our cash flows from operating activities. Historically, cash requirements for significant acquisitions and major capital expenditures have been provided largely through our financing activities.

As of January 1, 2006 we were reorganized under Consumer, Network Access, Commercial and Managed Broadband reportable segments, replacing the Long-distance, Cable, Local Access and Internet services reportable segments. The realignment along customer lines rather than product lines allows us to more efficiently meet the demands of technological and product convergence.

Segment and All Other category data for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 have been reclassified to reflect the organizational changes for comparability purposes. A combination of specific identification and general allocations were employed to reclassify 2005 and 2004 amounts. Allocated amounts were generally determined using segment revenue or customer counts derived from first quarter of 2006 segment data. We believe the first quarter of 2006 division of revenue and customers by segment is representative of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 customer composition for purposes of reclassifying 2005 and 2004 revenue and Cost of Goods Sold balances.

The Network Access segment provides services to other common carrier customers and the Managed Broadband segment provides services to rural school districts and rural hospitals and health clinics. Following are our segments and the services and products each offers to its customers:

An overview of our services and products follows.

Voice Services and Products

Long-distance

We generate long-distance services revenues from monthly plan fees and usage charges.

Factors that have the greatest impact on year-to-year changes in long-distance services revenues include the rate per minute charged to customers and usage volumes expressed as minutes of use.

Common carrier traffic routed to us for termination in Alaska is largely dependent on traffic routed to our common carrier customers by their customers. Pricing pressures, new program offerings, and market and business consolidations continue to evolve in the markets served by our other common carrier customers. If, as a result, their traffic is reduced, or if their competitors’ costs to terminate or originate traffic in Alaska are reduced, our traffic will also likely be reduced, and our pricing may be reduced to respond to competitive pressures, consistent with federal law. Additionally, disruption in the economy resulting from terrorist attacks and other attacks or acts of war could affect our carrier customers. We are unable to predict the effect on us of such changes. However, given the materiality of other common carrier revenues to us, a significant reduction in traffic or pricing could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Due in large part to the favorable synergistic effects of our bundling strategy focused on consumer and commercial customers, long-distance services continues to be a significant contributor to our overall performance, although the migration of traffic from our voice products to our data and wireless products continues.

Our long-distance service faces significant competition from ACS, Alascom, long-distance resellers, and other local telephone companies that have entered the long-distance market. We believe our approach to developing, pricing, and providing long-distance services and bundling different business segment services will continue to allow us to be competitive in providing those services.

Local Access

We generate local access services revenues from four primary sources: (1) basic dial tone services; (2) private line and special access services; (3) origination and termination of long-distance calls for other common carriers; and (4) features and other charges, including voice mail, caller ID, distinctive ring, inside wiring and subscriber line charges.

The primary factors that contribute to year-to-year changes in local access services revenues include the average number of subscribers to our services during a given reporting period, the average monthly rates charged for non-traffic sensitive services, the number and type of additional premium features selected, the traffic sensitive access rates charged to carriers and the Universal Service Program.

We estimate that our December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 total lines in service represent a statewide market share of approximately 26%, 26% and 24%, respectively. At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 approximately 87%, 86% and 85%, respectively, of our lines are provided on our own facilities and leased local loops. At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 approximately 6% of our lines are provided using the UNE platform delivery method.

Our local access service faces significant competition in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau from ACS, which is the largest ILEC in Alaska, and from Alascom in Anchorage for consumer services. Alascom has received certification from the RCA to provide local access services in Fairbanks and Juneau. We believe our approach to developing, pricing, and providing local access services and bundling different services will allow us to be competitive in providing those services.

On September 23, 2005, February 2, 2006 and July 18, 2006, the RCA issued orders granting us certification to serve the service areas of KPU, Cordova Telephone Cooperative, CVTC, MTA, the Glacier State area served by ACS of the Northland, Alaska Telephone Company, Interior Telephone Company, United-KUC and Mukluk Telephone Company. The affected rural local exchange carriers have appealed various aspects of the certification rulings.

We plan to offer service in these new areas using a combination of methods. To a large extent, we plan to use our existing cable network to deliver local services. Where we do not have cable plant, we may use wireless technologies and resale of other carrier’s services. We may lease portions of an existing carrier’s network or seek wholesale discounts, but our application is not dependent upon access to either UNEs of the ILEC network or wholesale discount rates for resale of ILEC services.

By letter submitted to the RCA on January 12, 2004, we made a bona fide request for interconnection for the purposes of local access competition with MTA, under the provisions of the 1996 Telecom Act. We submitted this request to MTA on the grounds that it waived its rural exemption under the terms of Section 251(f)(1)(C) when it launched its new video service through its wholly owned subsidiary MTA Vision, Inc. in competition with our cable television service. MTA, however, refused to comply with the negotiation and arbitration provisions under the 1996 Telecom Act claiming that it still retained a rural exemption. We filed a complaint with the RCA to resolve this dispute, and the RCA conducted a public hearing on the matter on October 20, 2004. On February 2, 2005, the RCA ruled that MTA’s rural exemption for the areas served by MTA Vision, Inc. had been lifted and that we may negotiate and arbitrate interconnection with MTA. Negotiations ensued, and MTA filed a petition for suspension and modification of its obligations to provide access to UNEs. The petition did not affect MTA’s obligation to provide resale at wholesale rates under Section 251(c)(4). On December 20, 2005 the RCA granted MTA’s petition for a three year period and arbitration as to MTA’s remaining obligations recommenced. We have appealed the RCA’s suspension and modification decision. Following negotiation and arbitration, an arbitrated Interconnection Agreement was filed for approval on January 18, 2006. Such approval was granted on February 17, 2006. We intend to commence local service entry into Eagle River and the Mat-Su Valley during 2007.

On May 2, 2005, we tendered an interconnection request to the City of Ketchikan d/b/a KPU, which had been authorized by the RCA to provide video programming services through its KPU CommVision division on April 26, 2005. Under the terms of Section 251(f)(1)(C) of the 1996 Telecom Act KPU’s rural exemption from negotiation will be forfeited if, and when, KPU commences offering video programming. On June 3, 2005, we entered into a stipulation with KPU recognizing that KPU would forfeit its rural exemption and that negotiations for interconnection would commence when KPU

commenced offering video programming. KPU began offering video programming and negotiations began in December 2005 and culminated in a contract in June 2006. The Ketchikan City Council approved the contract in June 2006 and the contract was submitted to the RCA for final approval on August 21, 2006. We received an order from the RCA on November 14, 2006 approving the interconnection agreement. We intend to commence local service entry into Ketchikan during 2007.

On May 17, 2006, we tendered an interconnection request to CVTC. Based on our request, the RCA opened an inquiry for the purpose of determining whether or not to terminate the rural exemption of CVTC. In July 2006 we entered into a settlement with CVTC under which interconnection negotiations would take place, followed by private arbitration if necessary, under Sections 251(a) and (b) of the 1996 Telecom Act. On July 13, 2006, we filed a formal Notice of Withdrawal of the rural exemption inquiry. Negotiations and arbitration for an interconnection agreement with CVTC are on-going.

We plan to have deployed more than 48,000 DLPS lines which utilize our Anchorage coaxial cable facilities by December 31, 2007. This service delivery method allows us to utilize our own cable facilities to provide local access service to our customers and avoid paying local loop charges to the ILEC.

Directories

We sell advertising in our yellow pages directories to commercial customers and distribute white and yellow pages directories to customers in certain markets we serve. We also sell on-line directory products.

Video Services and Products

We generate cable services revenues from three primary sources: (1) digital and analog programming services, including monthly basic and premium subscriptions, pay-per-view movies and one-time events, such as sporting events; (2) equipment rentals; and (3) advertising sales.

Our cable systems serve 40 communities and areas in Alaska, including the state’s five largest population centers, Anchorage, Fairbanks, the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, the Kenai Peninsula, and Juneau.

The primary factors that contribute to period-to-period changes in cable services revenues include average monthly subscription rates and pay-per-view buys, the mix among basic, premium and digital tier services, the average number of cable television subscribers during a given reporting period, set-top box utilization and related rates, revenues generated from new product offerings, and sales of cable advertising services.

We increased rates charged for certain cable services in eleven communities, including four of the state’s five largest population centers, Anchorage, Fairbanks, the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, and the Kenai Peninsula. The rate increases were primarily effective in January 2006 and increased approximately 5% for those customers who experienced an adjustment.

In the fourth quarter of 2006 we increased rates charged for certain cable services in seven communities, including the state’s five largest population centers. The rates increased approximately 5% for those customers who experienced an adjustment.

Data Services and Products

Internet

We generate Internet services revenues from three primary sources: (1) access product services, including cable modem, dial-up, and dedicated access; (2) network management services; and (3) wholesale access for other common carriers.

The primary factors that contribute to year-to-year changes in Internet services revenues include the average number of subscribers to our services during a given reporting period, the average monthly subscription rates, the amount of bandwidth purchased by large commercial customers, and the number and type of additional premium features selected.

Marketing campaigns continue to be deployed featuring bundled products. Our Internet offerings are bundled with various combinations of our long-distance, cable, and local access services and provide free or discounted basic or premium Internet services. Value-added premium Internet features are available for additional charges.

We compete with a number of Internet service providers in our markets. We believe our approach to developing, pricing, and providing Internet services allows us to be competitive in providing those services.

Private Line and Private Networks

We generate private line and private network services revenue from two primary sources: (1) leasing capacity on our facilities that utilize voice and data transmission circuits, dedicated to particular subscribers, which link a device in one location to another in a different location and (2) through the sale of IP based data services on a secured shared network to businesses linking multiple enterprise locations. The factor that has the greatest impact on year-to-year changes in private line and private network services revenues is the number of private lines and private networks in use. We compete against Alascom, ACS and other local telecommunication service providers.

Managed Services

We design, sell, install, service and operate, on behalf of certain customers, communications and computer networking equipment and provide field/depot, third party, technical support, communications consulting and outsourcing services. We also supply integrated voice and data communications systems incorporating interstate and intrastate digital private lines, point-to-point and multipoint private network and small earth station services. There are a number of competing companies in Alaska that actively sell and maintain data and voice communications systems.

Our ability to integrate communications networks and data communications equipment has allowed us to maintain our market position based on “value added” support services rather than price competition. These services are blended with other transport products into unique customer solutions, including managed services and outsourcing.

Managed Broadband Services

We generate managed broadband services revenue through our SchoolAccess®, ConnectMD^® and managed video conferencing products. Our customers may purchase end-to-end broadband services solutions blended with other transport and software products. There are several competing companies in Alaska that actively sell broadband services. Our ability to provide end-to-end broadband services solutions has allowed us to maintain our market position based on “value added” products and services rather than solely based on price competition.

Our network, Internet and software application services provided through our Managed Broadband segment’s Medical Services Division are branded as ConnectMD^®. Our ConnectMD^® services are currently provided under contract to medical businesses in Alaska, Washington and Montana. The Rural Health Care Program of the Universal Service Fund makes discounts available to eligible rural health care providers for telecommunication services and monthly Internet service charges. The program is intended to ensure that rural health care providers pay no more for telecommunications in the provision of health care services than their urban counterparts. Customers utilize ConnectMD^® services to securely move data, images, or voice traffic, to include real time multipoint interactive video.

We offer a managed video conferencing product for use in distance learning, telemedicine and group communication and collaboration environments. The product is designed to offer customers enhanced communication services that support video, audio and data presentation. Our product benefits customers by reducing travel costs, improving course equity in education and increasing the quality of health services available to patients. The product bundles our data products, video conferencing services and optional rental of video conferencing endpoint equipment. Our video conferencing services include multipoint conferencing, ISDN gateway and transcoding services, online scheduling and conference control, and videoconference recording, archiving and streaming. We provide 24-hour technical support via telephone or online.

Wireless Services and Products

We generate wireless services and equipment revenues from four primary sources: (1) monthly plan fees; (2) usage and roaming charges; (3) wireless Internet access; and (4) handset and accessory sales.

We offer wireless services by reselling Dobson services. We provide limited wireless local access and Internet services using our own facilities. We compete against Dobson, ACS, Alaska DigiTel, and resellers of those services in Anchorage and other markets.

We have 28,900, 16,000, and 9,500 combined Consumer segment and Commercial segment wireless lines in service at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. A wireless line in service is defined as a revenue generating wireless device. Our average wireless revenue per combined Consumer and Commercial subscriber is $54.61, $41.75 and $27.20

during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, calculated by dividing our combined Consumer and Commercial segments usage revenues by our combined Consumer and Commercial segments subscriber count.

On January 1, 2007 we invested $29.5 million in Alaska DigiTel in exchange for an 81.9% equity interest. We do not have voting control of Alaska DigiTel. We view our investment as an incremental way to participate in future growth of the wireless industry in Alaska. Our existing distribution agreement with Dobson remains in full effect and our existing wireless products will continue to compete with Alaska DigiTel in the Alaska market.

Overview of Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold

Total revenues increased 7.8% from $443.0 million in 2005 to $477.5 million in 2006. Revenue increased in our Consumer, Network Access, Commercial and Managed Broadband segments. See the discussion below for more information by segment.

Total Cost of Goods Sold increased 16.0% from $134.9 million in 2005 to $156.4 million in 2006. Cost of Goods Sold increases in our Consumer, Network Access and Commercial segments were partially off-set by decreased Cost of Goods Sold in our Managed Broadband segment. See the discussion below for more information by segment.

¹Year-to-date average monthly consumer video revenues divided by the average of consumer video basic subscribers at the beginning and ending of the period.

Consumer Segment Revenues

The 2.6% decrease in voice revenue is primarily due to decreased long-distance minutes carried for these customers. The decrease is partially off-set by a $446,000 or 9.1% increase in support from the Universal Service Program in 2006 as compared to 2005 and an approximately $300,000 increase in local service revenue in 2006 as compared to 2005 due to the implementation of the monthly network access fee in April 2005.

The 6.5% increase in video revenue is primarily due to the following:

•

A 23.9% increase in equipment rental revenue to $13.3 million in 2006 primarily resulting from our customers’ increased use of digital distribution technology and an equipment rental rate increase effective primarily in January 2006, and

•

A 4.2% increase in programming services revenue to $75.6 million in 2006 primarily resulting from an increase in digital programming tier subscribers in 2006, increased rates charged for certain cable services primarily effective in the first and fourth quarters of 2006, and increased average revenue per customer.

The 16.2% increase in data revenue is primarily due to a 9.7% increase in cable modem revenue to $24.6 million and a 68.8% increase to $1.6 million in revenue earned from our customers’ use of our Internet facilities in excess of that allowed by their plan in 2006. The increase in cable modem revenue is primarily due to increased subscribers.

The 125.9% increase in wireless revenue is primarily due to increased wireless subscribers.

Consumer Segment Cost of Goods Sold

Consumer segment Cost of Goods Sold increased 10.1% to $66.9 million from 2005 to 2006 primarily due to increased wireless Cost of Goods Sold resulting from increased revenue and increased video Cost of Goods Sold. The increased video Cost of Goods Sold is primarily due to the 2006 expiration of arrangements with suppliers from which we earned rebates and refunds upon us meeting specified goals, increased channels offered to our subscribers, and increased subscribers. The increase in Cost of Goods Sold is partially off-set by decreased voice Cost of Goods Sold primarily due to the following:

•

Cost savings resulting from the increased deployment of DLPS lines during the year ended December 31, 2006,

•

Decreased voice minutes carried, and

•

Reduced access costs resulting from the distribution and termination of our traffic on our own local access services network instead of paying other carriers to distribute and terminate our traffic. The statewide average cost savings is approximately $0.011 and $0.057 per minute for originating and terminating interstate and intrastate traffic, respectively.

The decrease in voice Costs of Goods Sold is partially off-set by the receipt in 2005 of $9.1 million upon the settlement of four separate claims with AT&T and Alascom pursuant to a master agreement of which $1.8 million reduced the Consumer segment voice Cost of Goods Sold in 2005.

¹An Internet service provider access line in service is defined as a revenue generating circuit or channel connecting a customer to the public switched telephone network.

Network Access Segment Revenues

The 16.0% increase in voice revenue is primarily due to increased minutes carried for our other common carrier customers partially off-set by a 4.7% decrease in our rate per minute on minutes carried for other common carriers. The average rate per minute decrease is primarily due to a change in the composition of traffic and a 3.0% rate decrease mandated by federal law which will result in annual rate decreases of 3.0%.

Network Access Segment Cost of Goods Sold

Network Access segment Cost of Goods Sold increased 46.0% to $37.3 million from 2005 to 2006 primarily due to the following:

•

Increased voice minutes carried, and

•

Receipt in 2005 of $9.1 million upon the settlement of four separate claims with AT&T and Alascom pursuant to a master agreement of which $5.3 million reduced the Network Access segment voice Cost of Goods Sold in 2005.

Commercial Segment Overview

Commercial segment revenue represented 22.2% of 2006 consolidated revenues. The components of Commercial segment revenue are as follows (amounts in thousands):

¹A long-distance customer is defined as a customer account that is invoiced a monthly long-distance plan fee or has made a long-distance call during the month. ²A local access line in service is defined as a revenue generating circuit or channel connecting a customer to the public switched telephone network. ³A cable modem subscriber is defined by the purchase of cable modem service regardless of the level of service purchased. If one entity purchases multiple cable modem service access points, each access point is counted as a subscriber.

We leased a portion of our 800-mile fiber optic system capacity that extends from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez via Fairbanks, and provide management and maintenance services for this capacity to a significant customer. The lessee signed a contract with a competitor in March 2005, started the transition of their circuits from our fiber optic cable system to our competitor’s microwave system in June 2006, and expects to complete the transition during the second quarter of 2007. In November 2006, we signed an agreement with our competitor to lease capacity on our fiber optic cable system and provide certain other services to them in association with their contract. We expect this transition to result in a $9.5 million annual decrease in the data component of Commercial segment revenue when it is completed.

Commercial Segment Revenues

The 4.6% decrease in voice revenue is primarily due to decreased minutes carried for our Commercial segment customers.

The 11.6% increase in video revenue is primarily due to a 27.4% or $1.2 million increase in political advertising sales for the 2006 Alaska state-wide and local elections.

The 0.5% decrease in data revenue is primarily due to a $4.6 million or 31.7% decrease in revenue earned from the lease and provision of management and maintenance services on a portion of our 800-mile fiber optic system capacity that extends from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez via Fairbanks as described above. The decrease is partially off-set by following:

•

A $2.6 million increase to $14.7 million in private line and private network services due to increased circuits sold,

•

$2.1 million in revenue recognized for a special project completed in 2006, and

•

A $738,000 or 4.5% increase in other special project revenues.

The 109.9% increase in wireless revenue is primarily due to increased wireless subscribers.

Commercial Segment Cost of Goods Sold

Commercial segment Cost of Goods Sold increased 9.0% to $47.9 million from 2005 to 2006 primarily due to the following:

•

$2.3 million in managed services Cost of Goods Sold recognized for a special project completed in 2006,

•

A $1.5 million or 128.4% increase in wireless Cost of Goods Sold resulting from increased revenue,

•

Receipt in 2005 of $9.1 million upon the settlement of four separate claims with AT&T and Alascom pursuant to a master agreement of which $2.0 million reduced the Commercial segment long-distance Cost of Goods Sold in 2005, and

•

A 7.9% increase in managed services Cost of Goods Sold to $14.4 million primarily due to increased managed services revenue in 2006 as compared to 2005.

The increase in Cost of Goods Sold is partially off-set by cost savings resulting from increased deployment of DLPS lines during the year ended December 31, 2006 and decreased voice minutes carried.

Managed Broadband Segment Overview

Managed Broadband segment revenue represented 5.4% of 2006 consolidated revenues.

Selected key performance indicators for our Managed Broadband segment follow:

In 2006 we decided to close an operating subsidiary and subsequent to the closure we determined the software for a Managed Broadband segment product offering with a net book value of $790,000 was impaired and had no net realizable value. We recognized the 2006 impairment in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Managed Broadband Segment Revenues

Managed Broadband segment revenue, which includes data products only, increased 0.1% to $26.1 million in 2006 as compared to 2005. The increase is primarily due to increased multi-site and single-site SchoolAccess^®customers, increased circuits purchased by our rural health customers, and increased single-site rural health customers in the last six months of 2006 and a $358,000 contribution from the RCA to fund the construction of rural wireless sites. The increase is partially off-set by decreased multi-site SchoolAccess^®customers in the first six months of 2006 as compared to 2005 and a rate decrease for certain circuits purchased by our rural health customers in 2006 as compared to 2005.

Managed Broadband Segment Cost of Goods Sold

Managed Broadband segment Cost of Goods Sold decreased $275,000 to $4.4 million from 2005 to 2006 primarily due to reduced satellite capacity costs in 2006.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10.4% to $171.7 million in 2006 primarily due to the following:

•

A $5.9 million increase in our share-based compensation expense due to the recognition of $3.5 million in share-based compensation expense following our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 and a $2.9 million increase in expense relating to the fair value of our share-based liability during 2006. The $6.6 million in share-based compensation expense was allocated to our reportable segments as follows (amounts in thousands):

	Reportable Segments
	Consumer	Network Access	Commercial	Managed Broadband	Total
Share-based compensation expense	$ 2,154	2,565	1,380	484	6,583

•

A $2.9 million increase in bad debt expense due to a decrease in the realization of a recovery from Verizon in 2006 as compared to 2005,

•

A $2.1 million increase in health insurance costs primarily resulting from a decreased reserve for incurred but not reported health insurance claims in 2005 to reflect historical experience that was not repeated in 2006 and increased medical claims in 2006,

•

A $1.7 million increase in bad debt expense due to a temporary slowdown in our collection process on our long-distance, local service and Internet invoices. The slowdown was due to the September 1, 2005 conversion to our unified order management and fulfillment, billing, customer service, cash application, and credit and collection system. Our ability to perform our collections process timely was significantly restored by December 31, 2006,

•

A $1.4 million increase in certain promotion expenses in 2006, and

•

A $957,000 increase in fiber repair expenses in 2006 resulting from multiple breaks in our fiber optic cable that extends from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez via Fairbanks in October 2006.

The selling, general and administrative expenses increase is partially off-set by the following:

•

A $3.1 million decrease in Managed Broadband segment’s bad debt expense primarily due to increased allowances for certain Managed Broadband segment customers in 2005 for which payments were received in 2006,

•

A $2.5 million decrease in labor costs in 2006,

•

A $2.2 million decrease in our company-wide success sharing bonus accrual in 2006, and

•

A $1.4 million decrease in contract labor in 2006 primarily due to a reduced number of contractors supporting our information technology systems.

As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 36.0% in 2006 from 35.1% in 2005, primarily due to the net increases described above without a proportional increase in revenues.

Restructuring Charge

In August 2005 we committed to a reorganization plan to more efficiently meet the demands of technological and product convergence by realigning along customer lines rather than product lines. The reorganization plan included integration of several functions resulting in the layoff of 76 employees by November 30, 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2005 we recognized a restructuring charge of $2.0 million for workforce reduction costs across all functions. Total costs incurred under this plan were $2.1 million. The following table sets forth the restructuring charges by segment during 2005 (amounts in thousands):

		Consumer		Network Access		Commer-cial		Managed Broadband		Total Reportable Segments
Restructuring charge incurred through the year ending December 31, 2005	$	660		737		417		153		1,967

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 10.8% to $82.1 million in 2006. The increase is primarily due to our $95.3 million investment in equipment and facilities placed into service during 2005 for which a full year of depreciation was recorded in 2006, the $83.4 million investment in equipment and facilities placed into service during the year ended December 31, 2006 for which a partial year of depreciation was recorded in 2006, and a $790,000 software impairment recognized in 2006 as discussed above.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net of other income, decreased 16.7% to $33.1 million in 2006 primarily due to the following:

•

In August 2005, we finalized a $215.0 million Amended Senior Credit Facility to replace our May 21, 2004 Senior Credit Facility resulting in the following 2005 expenses:

We recognized a $2.8 million Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt in 2005 resulting from termination of our Satellite Transponder Capital Lease, and

We recognized $1.8 million in Amortization and Write-off of Loan and Senior Notes Fees in 2005 because a portion of the Amended Senior Credit Facility was a substantial modification of the May 21, 2004 Senior Credit Facility.

•

Senior Credit Facility deferred loan fee amortization expense decreased $502,000 or 73% in 2006 after the August 2005 amendment,

•

Interest income increased $1.2 million to $1.8 million in 2006 resulting from the increased average cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances in 2006, and

•

Interest expense decreased $820,000 due to construction period interest capitalization in 2006.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $15.8 million in 2006 and 2005. Our effective income tax rate increased from 43.4% in 2005 to 46.1% in 2006 primarily due to adjustments to deferred tax assets in 2005.

At December 31, 2006, we have (1) tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $141.3 million that will begin expiring in 2010 if not utilized, and (2) alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $2.6 million available to offset regular income taxes payable in future years. We estimate that we will utilize net operating loss carryforwards of $39.0 million to $41.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2007. Our utilization of certain net operating loss carryforwards is subject to limitations pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 382.

We have recorded deferred tax assets of approximately $57.8 million associated with income tax net operating losses that were generated from 1995 to 2006, and that expire from 2010 to 2026.

Tax benefits associated with recorded deferred tax assets are considered to be more likely than not realizable through future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. The amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced which would result in additional income tax expense. We estimate that our effective annual income tax rate for financial statement purposes will be 43% to 45% in the year ended December 31, 2007.

Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle

On January 1, 2006 we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS 123(R) requires us to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures at the time of grant and periodically revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We record share-based compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate based on our historical pre-vesting forfeiture data. Previously, we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred under the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 for periods prior to 2006. The transition impact (benefit) of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) attributed to accruing for expected forfeitures on outstanding share-based awards totaled $108,000, which was reduced by income tax expense of $44,000, and is reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle during the year ended December 31, 2006 in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 (“2005”) Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004 (“2004”)

Overview of Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold

Total revenues increased 4.3% from $424.8 million in 2004 to $443.0 million in 2005. Revenue increases in our Consumer and Network Access segments were partially off-set by revenue decreases in our Commercial and Managed Broadband segments. See the discussion below for more information by segment.

Total Cost of Goods Sold decreased 3.4% from $139.6 million in 2004 to $134.9 million in 2005. Decreased Cost of Goods Sold in our Network Access and Commercial segments were partially off-set by increases in the Consumer and Managed Broadband segments’ Cost of Goods Sold. See the discussion below for more information by segment.

Digital programming tier subscribers are a subset of basic subscribers. ⁴An HD/DVR converter box is defined as one box rented by a digital programming or basic tier subscriber. A digital programming or basic tier subscriber is not required to rent an HD/DVR converter box to receive service. ⁵Year-to-date average monthly consumer video revenues divided by the average of consumer video basic subscribers at the beginning and ending of the period. ⁶A cable modem subscriber is defined by the purchase of cable modem service regardless of the level of service purchased. If one entity purchases multiple cable modem service access points, each access point is counted as a subscriber. Cable modem subscribers may also be basic subscribers though basic cable service is not required to receive cable modem service.

We had 95,000 Consumer segment long-distance customers at December 31, 2005. A long-distance customer is defined as a customer account that is invoiced a monthly long-distance plan fee or has made a long-distance call during the month. Due to our implementation of a new unified billing system on September 1, 2005 this statistic is not available as of December 31, 2004.

Consumer Segment Revenues

The 8.4% increase in voice revenue is primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in support from the Universal Service Program and increased local access lines in service. The increase is partially off-set by a decrease in long-distance minutes carried for these customers.

The 4.4% increase in video revenue is primarily due to the following:

•

A 15.8% increase in equipment rental revenue to $10.7 million in 2005 primarily resulting from our customers’ increased use of digital distribution technology, and

•

A 2.7% increase in programming services revenue to $72.5 million in 2005 primarily resulting from an increase in basic and digital programming tier subscribers and increased average revenue per customer.

The 4.0% increase in data revenue is primarily due to a 12.2% increase in cable modem revenue to $22.4 million in 2005. The increase in cable modem revenue is primarily due to increased subscribers.

The 114.2% increase in wireless revenue is primarily due to increased wireless subscribers.

Consumer Segment Cost of Goods Sold

Consumer segment Cost of Goods Sold increased 5.6% to $60.8 million in 2005 primarily due to increased video, data and wireless Cost of Goods Sold. The increased data and wireless Cost of Goods Sold resulted from increased revenue. Video Cost of Goods Sold increased primarily due to the following:

•

A $407,000 refund received in 2004 from a supplier retroactive to August 2003 of which $391,000 reduced the Consumer segment video Cost of Goods Sold in 2004,

•

An arrangement with a supplier in which we earned a $328,000 rebate in 2004 upon us meeting a specified goal of which $315,000 reduced the Consumer segment video Cost of Goods Sold in 2004, and

•

Programming cost increases in 2005 for certain of our cable programming service offerings.

The increase in Cost of Goods Sold is partially off-set by decreased voice Cost of Goods Sold primarily due to the following:

•

The receipt in 2005 of $9.1 million upon the settlement of four separate claims with AT&T and Alascom pursuant to a master agreement of which $1.8 million reduced the Consumer segment voice Cost of Goods Sold in 2005,

•

Cost savings resulting from the increased deployment of DLPS lines in 2005,

•

The decrease in long-distance minutes carried, and

•

Reduced access costs resulting from the distribution and termination of our traffic on our own local access services network instead of paying other carriers to distribute and terminate our traffic. The statewide average cost savings is approximately $.010 and $.048 per minute for originating and terminating interstate and intrastate traffic, respectively.

The decreased voice Cost of Goods Sold is partially off-set by growth in our local access lines in service and increased costs resulting from the RCA’s Anchorage UNE arbitration settlement order in June 2004 which increased the UNE lease rate payable to ACS from $14.92 to $18.64 per line per month beginning on June 25, 2004. Additionally, the UNE lease rates payable to ACS in Fairbanks and Juneau increased from $19.19 to $23.00 and $16.71 to $18.00, respectively, as of January 1, 2005.

¹An Internet service provider access line in service is defined as a revenue generating circuit or channel connecting a customer to the public switched telephone network.

Network Access Segment Revenues

The 8.6% increase in voice revenue is primarily due to increased minutes carried for our other common carrier customers partially off-set by a 7.7% decrease in our average rate per minute on minutes carried for other common carriers. The average rate per minute decrease is primarily due to a 3.0% rate decrease mandated by federal law which will result in annual rate decreases of 3.0% per year and a change in the composition of traffic carried resulting from one of our common carrier customer contracts.

Network Access Segment Cost of Goods Sold

Network Access segment Cost of Goods Sold decreased 2.3% to $25.5 million in 2005. Voice Cost of Goods Sold decreased 1.7% to $18.2 million in 2005 primarily due to receipt in 2005 of $9.1 million upon the settlement of four separate claims with AT&T and Alascom pursuant to a master agreement of which $5.3 million reduced the Network Access segment voice Cost of Goods Sold in 2005. The decrease is partially off-set by increased voice Cost of Goods Sold due to increased long-distance minutes carried and receipt in 2004 of $1.2 million from an intrastate access cost pool that previously overcharged us for access services of which $626,000 reduced the Network Access segment voice Cost of Goods Sold in 2004.

Commercial Segment Overview

Commercial segment revenue represented 23.8% of 2005 consolidated revenues. The components of Commercial segment revenue are as follows (amounts in thousands):

				Percentage
		2005	2004	Change
Voice	$	33,718	35,054	(3.8%)
Video		7,163	7,491	(4.4%)
Data		63,592	66,128	(3.8%)
Wireless		1,190	555	114.4%
Total Commercial segment revenue	$	105,663	109,228	(3.3%)

Selected key performance indicators for our Commercial segment follow:

	December 31,		Percentage
	2005	2004	Change
Voice:
Total local access lines in service¹	40,700	39,600	2.8%
DLPS local access lines in service¹	600	200	200.0%
Long-distance minutes carried (in millions)	138.9	142.9	(2.8%)

Data:
Cable modem subscribers²	6,500	5,700	14.0%

¹A local access line in service is defined as a revenue generating circuit or channel connecting a customer to the public switched telephone network. ²A cable modem subscriber is defined by the purchase of cable modem service regardless of the level of service purchased. If one entity purchases multiple cable modem service access points, each access point is counted as a subscriber.

We had 11,700 Commercial segment long-distance accounts at December 31, 2005. A long-distance account is defined as a customer account that is invoiced a monthly long-distance plan fee or has made a long-distance call during the month. Due to our implementation of a new unified billing system on September 1, 2005 this statistic is not available as of December 31, 2004.

Commercial Segment Revenues

The 3.8% decrease in voice revenue is primarily due to a decrease in minutes carried for our Commercial segment customers.

The 3.8% decrease in data revenue is primarily due to $6.4 million earned in 2004 from an equipment sale and installation project and a $1.4 million decrease in product sales revenue due to the sale of products to certain customers in 2004 that did not recur in 2005. The decrease is partially off-set by the following:

•

A $3.2 million or 11.3% increase in managed services revenue primarily due to special project revenue earned in 2005 for services sold to two customers, and

•

A $2.4 million or 16.4% increase in Internet services revenue primarily due to increased cable modem subscribers.

Additionally, in 2004 the Commercial segment sold data services to the Managed Broadband segment and all of the revenue was eliminated from the Commercial segment. In 2005 the Managed Broadband and Commercial segments operated under a revenue-sharing agreement that resulted in an allocation of revenue between the two segments. Commercial segment data revenue would have been $62.3 million and $66.1 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively, if the change in the external revenue distribution had not occurred.

Commercial Segment Cost of Goods Sold

Commercial segment Cost of Goods Sold decreased 15.4% to $43.9 million in 2005 primarily due to the following:

•

$5.8 million in costs in 2004 associated with an equipment sale and installation project that did not recur in 2005,

•

A $1.2 million decrease in costs associated with product sales revenues in 2004 that did not recur in 2005,

•

Decreased long-distance minutes carried, and

•

We performed an analysis of circuit costs directly contributing to Commercial segment’s voice revenue and Managed Broadband segment’s data revenues and, as a result, decreased the allocation of Cost of Goods Sold to the Commercial segment’s voice Cost of Goods Sold by $1.1 million in 2005. Managed Broadband segment data Cost of Goods Sold was increased an equal amount in 2005.

The decrease is partially off-set by a $2.5 million or 21.5% increase in costs associated with increased managed service revenue.

Managed Broadband Segment Overview

Managed Broadband segment revenue represented 5.9% of 2005 consolidated revenues.

Selected key performance indicators for our Managed Broadband segment follow:

Managed Broadband Segment Revenues

Managed Broadband segment revenue, which includes data products only, decreased 3.1% to $26.1 million in 2005. Managed Broadband revenue would have increased from $26.9 million in 2004 to $27.4 million in 2005 if we had not changed the allocation of external revenues between our Commercial and Managed Broadband segments. In 2004 all of a certain revenue stream was retained by the Managed Broadband segment and the associated internal Cost of Goods Sold purchased from the Commercial segment was eliminated from the Managed Broadband segment. In 2005 the Managed Broadband and Commercial segments operated under a revenue-sharing agreement that resulted in an allocation of revenue between the two segments.

After considering the effect of the external revenue allocation change described above, the 2005 revenue increase is primarily due to an increased number of SchoolAccess^®customers partially off-set by a decreased number of Rural Health customers.

Managed Broadband Segment Cost of Goods Sold

Managed Broadband segment Cost of Goods Sold increased $697,000 to $4.6 million in 2005. We performed an analysis of circuit costs directly contributing to Commercial segment’s voice revenue and Managed Broadband segment’s data

revenues and, as a result, increased the allocation of Cost of Goods Sold to the Managed Broadband segment data Cost of Goods Sold by $1.1 million in 2005. Commercial segment’s voice Cost of Goods Sold was decreased an equal amount in 2005.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 6.3% to $155.5 million in 2005 primarily due to the following:

•

A $3.3 million increase in labor and health insurance costs resulting from an increased number of employees during the majority of 2005 as compared to 2004,

•

A $2.6 million increase in our company-wide success sharing bonus accrual,

•

Allowances of $1.6 million established for certain Managed Broadband customers, and

•

A decrease to bad debt expense from $4.2 million in 2004 to $3.3 million in 2005 due to a decrease in the realization of a recovery received from MCI following their emergence from bankruptcy protection.

The increase is partially off-set by a $1.2 million write-off in 2004 of previously capitalized mobile wireless network costs upon finalization of a long-term distribution agreement. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 35.1% in 2005 from 34.4% in 2004, due to an increase in such expenses without a proportional increase in revenues.

Restructuring Charge

See “Restructuring Charge” included above under “Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005.”

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 17.9% to $74.1 million in 2005. The increase is primarily due to the following:

•

Our $122.9 million investment in equipment and facilities placed into service during 2004 for which a full year of depreciation was recorded in 2005,

•

The $95.3 million investment in equipment and facilities placed into service during the year ended December 31, 2005 for which a partial year of depreciation was recorded in 2005, and

•

A $1.6 million increase in depreciation expense during 2005 due to the decreased useful life of our satellite transponders resulting from the failure of the propulsion system on the Galaxy XR satellite.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net of other income, increased 6.2% to $39.7 million in 2005 primarily due to following:

•

We finalized a $215.0 million Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility in August 2005 to replace our May 21, 2004 Senior Credit Facility resulting in the following increased expenses:

•

We recognized a $2.8 million Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt in 2005 resulting from termination of our Satellite Transponder Capital Lease,

•

We recognized approximately $1.8 million in Amortization and Write-off of Loan and Senior Notes Fees in 2005 because a portion of the Amended Senior Credit Facility was a substantial modification of the May 21, 2004 Senior Credit Facility, and

•

An increase in interest expense of approximately $2.9 million in 2005 due to an increase in the outstanding balance owed on the new facility.

•

An increase in interest expense of approximately $4.4 million in 2005 on our new Senior Notes due to an increase in the outstanding balance owed, and

•

An increase in interest expense of approximately $1.1 million in 2005 due to construction period interest expense capitalization in 2004.

Partially offsetting the increases described above were the following:

•

Decreased interest rates on our Senior Credit Facility and Senior Notes in 2005 as compared to 2004,

•

In 2004 we paid bond call premiums totaling $6.1 million to redeem our old Senior Notes, and

•

As a result of redeeming our old Senior Notes we recognized $2.3 million in unamortized old Senior Notes fee expense in 2004.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $16.0 million in 2005 and $17.5 million in 2004. The change is primarily due to an increase in income tax expense in 2004 resulting from a true-up of the deferred tax assets and liabilities associated primarily with fixed assets and net operating loss carryforwards. Our effective income tax rate decreased from 45.1% in 2004 to 43.4% in 2005 due to adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities balances in 2004. Partially offsetting this decrease were increases in nondeductible entertainment expenses in 2005.

Multiple System Operator (“MSO”) Operating Statistics

Our operating statistics include capital expenditures and customer information from our Consumer and Commercial segments which offer services utilizing our cable services’ facilities.

Our capital expenditures by standard reporting category for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 follows (amounts in thousands):

		2006	2005	2004
Line extensions	$	24,126	3,877	1,752

Remaining reportable segments capital expenditures		59,672	42,945	77,599
	$	105,060	81,151	112,579

The standardized definition of a customer relationship is the number of customers that receive at least one level of service utilizing our cable service facilities, encompassing voice, video, and data services, without regard to which services customers purchase. At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 we had 125,300, 123,500 and 122,700 customer relationships, respectively.

The standardized definition of a revenue generating unit is the sum of all primary analog video, digital video, high-speed data, and telephony customers, not counting additional outlets. At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 we had 249,300, 236,300 and 208,300 revenue generating units, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows from operating activities totaled $122.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $114.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Other sources of cash during the year ended December 31, 2006 included a $15.0 million borrowing on our Senior Credit Facility, as discussed below, and $11.5 million from the issuance of our Class A common stock. Other uses of cash during the year ended December 31, 2006 included expenditures of $96.0 million for property and equipment, including construction in progress, and the purchase of $32.6 million of common stock to be retired.

Working capital totaled $94.4 million at December 31, 2006, a $17.9 million increase as compared to $76.5 million at December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to the $15.0 million borrowing on our Senior Credit Facility, as discussed below, and receipt of $2.0 million in payments on notes receivable with related parties issued upon stock option exercise classified as Stockholders’ Equity at December 31, 2005.

Net receivables increased $2.9 million from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006 primarily due to payment timing on trade receivables from several large customers and an increase in amounts due from the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”).

Senior Notes

We have outstanding Senior Notes of $316.6 million at December 31, 2006. We pay interest of 7.25% on the Senior Notes and they are due in 2014. The Senior Notes are carried on our Consolidated Balance Sheet net of the unamortized portion of the discount, which is being amortized to Interest Expense over the term of the Senior Notes.

The Senior Notes are not redeemable prior to February 15, 2009. At any time on or after February 15, 2009, the Senior Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, on not less than thirty days nor more than sixty days notice, at the following redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption:

If redeemed during the twelve month period commencing February 1 of the year indicated:	Redemption Price
2009	103.625%
2010	102.417%
2011	101.208%
2012 and thereafter	100.000%

The Senior Notes restrict GCI, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries from incurring debt in most circumstances unless the result of incurring debt does not cause our leverage ratio to exceed 6.0 to one. The Senior Notes do not allow debt under the Senior Credit Facility to exceed the greater of (and reduced by certain stated items):

•

$250.0 million, reduced by the amount of any prepayments, or

•

3.0 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the last four full fiscal quarters of GCI, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries.

The Senior Notes limit our ability to make cash dividend payments.

Semi-annual interest payments of approximately $11.6 million are payable in February and August of each year.

We were in compliance with all Senior Notes loan covenants at December 31, 2006.

Senior Credit Facility

We have an outstanding Senior Credit Facility of $172.6 million at December 31, 2006. The Senior Credit Facility includes a $160.0 million term loan and a $55.0 million revolving credit facility with a $25.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. Our term loan is fully drawn, we borrowed $15.0 million under our revolving credit facility in December 2006 and we have letters of credit outstanding totaling $4.3 million at December 31, 2006, which left $35.7 million available for immediate borrowing at December 31, 2006 to draw under the revolving credit facility if needed. We repaid $10.0 million on the revolving credit facility in January 2007. The term loan and revolving portions of our Senior Credit Facility are due in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Senior Credit Facility interest rate on the term loan is LIBOR plus 1.50%. The interest rate on the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility is LIBOR plus the following applicable margin dependent upon our Total Leverage ratio (as defined):

Total Leverage Ratio (as defined)		Applicable Margin
>3.75		0.175%
>3.25 but <3.75		0.150%
>2.75 but <3.25		0.125%
<2.75		0.100%

The annual commitment fee we are required to pay on the unused portion of the commitment is 0.375%.

The Senior Credit Facility Total Leverage Ratio (as defined) limit is 4.50:1.0, the Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined) limit is 2.25:1.0, and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined) must be less than 1.0:1.0.

As of December 31, 2006 maturities of debt under the Senior Credit Facility were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Years ending December 31:
2007	$	1,600
2008		1,600
2009		1,600
2010		1,600
2011		91,000
2012 and thereafter		75,200
Total Senior Credit Facility	$	172,600

Capital Lease Obligation

On March 31, 2006, through our subsidiary GCC we entered into an agreement to lease transponder capacity on Intelsat’s Galaxy 18 spacecraft that is expected to be launched during 2007. We will also lease capacity on the Horizons 1 satellite, which is owned jointly by Intelsat and JSAT International, Inc. The leased capacity is expected to replace our existing transponder capacity on Intelsat’s Galaxy 10R satellite when it reaches its end of life.

We will lease C-band and Ku-Band transponders over an expected term of approximately 14 years once the satellite is placed into commercial operation in its assigned orbital location, and the transponders meet specific performance specifications and are made available for our use. The present value of the lease payments, excluding telemetry, tracking and command services and back-up protection, is expected to total $77.0 million to $82.0 million. We will record the capital lease obligation and the addition to our Property and Equipment when the satellite is made available for our use which is expected to occur approximately one month after the expected September 2007 launch.

A summary of estimated future minimum lease payments for this lease follows (amounts in thousands):

Years ending December 31:
2007	$	2,292
2008		9,168
2009		9,168
2010		9,168
2011		9,168
2012 and thereafter		89,388
Total minimum lease payments	$	128,352

Capital Expenditures

Our expenditures for property and equipment, including construction in progress, totaled $96.0 million and $79.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our capital expenditures requirements in excess of approximately $25.0 million per year are largely success driven and are a result of the progress we are making in the marketplace. We expect our 2007 expenditures for property and equipment for our core operations, including construction in progress and excluding the Galaxy 18 satellite transponder capacity lease discussed above and potential additional investments in Alaska DigiTel, to total $130.0 million to $135.0 million, depending on available opportunities and the amount of cash flow we generate during 2007.

Planned capital expenditures over the next five years include those necessary for maintenance of existing facilities, growth of our long-distance, local exchange, cable and Internet facilities, improving network integrity, continuing deployment of DLPS, adding new products, and introducing new facilities and automation to reduce costs.

We have entered into an agreement to purchase a certain number of outdoor, network powered multi-media adapters and other vendor equipment support our DLPS facilities build-out. The agreement has a remaining outstanding commitment at December 31, 2006 of $5.1 million of which approximately $1.5 million and $3.6 million are expected to be paid during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

On July 31, 2006, through our subsidiary GCC we entered into an agreement to purchase an IRU in the Kodiak-Kenai Cable Company, LLC’s marine-based fiber optic cable system linking Anchorage to Kenai, Homer, Kodiak and Seward, Alaska. The new system was placed into service in December 2006. We accepted the first installment of our IRU capacity in December 2006. We have committed to purchase a minimum of $5.0 million to $5.5 million in additional IRU capacity in two installments through 2011.

Share Repurchases

GCI’s Board of Directors has authorized a common stock buyback program for the repurchase of our Class A and Class B common stock in order to reduce our outstanding shares of Class A and Class B common stock. Our Board of Directors authorized us and we obtained permission from our lenders for up to $60.0 million of repurchases through December 31, 2006. We are authorized to continue our stock repurchases of up to $5.0 million per quarter indefinitely and to use stock option exercise proceeds, in our discretion, to repurchase additional shares. If stock repurchases are less than the total approved quarterly amount the difference may be carried forward and used to repurchase additional shares in future quarters. During the year ended December 31, 2006 we repurchased 2,858,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $34.7 million. We expect to continue the repurchases for an indefinite period subject to the availability of free cash flow, availability under our credit facilities, and the price of our Class A and Class B common stock. The repurchases have and will continue to comply with the restrictions of SEC Rule 10b-18.

Other Expenditures and Commitments

Effective January 1, 2007 we invested $29.5 million in Alaska DigiTel in exchange for an 81.9% equity interest. We do not have voting control of Alaska DigiTel. We funded the transaction from existing cash balances and by drawing down $15.0 million under the revolving portion of our Senior Credit Facility. Additionally, we entered into a revolving credit loan agreement with Alaska DigiTel effective January 1, 2007. The loan agreement provides that Alaska DigiTel can draw, subject to certain restrictions and financial covenants, up to $15.0 million of which $7.0 million was drawn on January 1, 2007. We expect the remaining $8.0 million to be drawn during the year ended December 31, 2007.

At December 31, 2006 we have provided a $4.6 million bank depository account as collateral for a term loan from a bank to Alaska DigiTel. The $4.6 million collateral was released and returned to us in January 2007.

We have an agreement with Alaska Airlines, Inc. (“Alaska Airlines”) to offer our consumer and commercial customers who make qualifying purchases from us the opportunity to accrue mileage awards in the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan. The agreement as amended requires the purchase of Alaska Airlines miles during the year ended December 31, 2006 and in future years. The agreement has a remaining commitment at December 31, 2006 totaling $6.2 million.

The long-distance, local access, cable, Internet and wireless services industries continue to experience substantial competition, regulatory uncertainty, and continuing technological changes. Our future results of operations will be affected by our ability to react to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment and by our ability to fund and implement new or enhanced technologies. We are unable to determine how competition, economic conditions, and regulatory and technological changes will affect our ability to obtain financing under acceptable terms and conditions.

Our principal sources of current liquidity are cash and cash equivalents. We believe, but can provide no assurances, that we will be able to meet our current and long-term liquidity and capital requirements and fixed charges through our cash flows from operating activities, existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, credit facilities, and other external financing and equity sources. Should cash flows be insufficient to support additional borrowings and principal payments scheduled under our existing credit facilities, capital expenditures will likely be reduced.

New Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We will begin application of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and do not expect it to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting and reporting policies comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions, which are integral to understanding reported results. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or complex. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Several factors are considered in determining whether or not a policy is critical in the preparation of financial statements. These factors include, among other things, whether the estimates are significant to the financial statements, the nature of the estimates, the ability to readily validate the estimates with other information including third parties or available prices, and sensitivity of the estimates to changes in economic conditions and whether alternative accounting methods may be utilized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Management has discussed the development and the selection of critical accounting policies with our Audit Committee.

Those policies considered to be critical accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2006 are described below.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our assessment of the likelihood that our customers will satisfactorily comply with rules necessary to obtain supplemental funding from the USAC for services provided by us under our packaged communications offerings to rural hospitals, health clinics and school districts. We base our estimates on the aging of our accounts receivable balances, financial health of specific customers, regional economic data, changes in our collections process, regulatory requirements, and our customers’ compliance with USAC rules. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate or if they are unable to emerge from reorganization proceedings, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. If their financial condition improves or they emerge successfully from reorganization proceedings, allowances may be reduced. Such allowance changes could have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Impairment and Useful Lives of Intangible Assets

We record all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangibles, at fair value as required by SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets such as our cable certificates are not amortized but are subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment and quarterly evaluations of whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life as required by SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount as required by SFAS No. 142. The initial goodwill and other intangibles recorded and subsequent impairment analysis requires management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates of the applicability of quoted market prices in active markets and, if quoted market prices are not available and/or are not applicable, how the acquired asset will perform in the future using a discounted cash flow analysis. Estimated cash flows may extend beyond ten years and, by their nature, are difficult to determine over an extended timeframe. Events and factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among others, competitive forces, customer behaviors and attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, cost structures and technology, and changes in discount rates, performance compared to peers, material and ongoing negative economic trends, and specific industry or market sector conditions. In determining the reasonableness of cash flow estimates, we review historical performance of the underlying asset or similar assets in an effort to improve assumptions utilized in our estimates. In assessing the fair value of goodwill and other intangibles, we may consider other information to validate the reasonableness of our valuations including third-party assessments. These evaluations could result in a change in useful lives in future periods and could result in write-down of the value of intangible assets. Our cable certificate and goodwill assets are our only indefinite-lived intangible assets and because of the significance of our cable certificate and goodwill assets to our consolidated balance sheet, our annual and quarterly impairment analyses and quarterly evaluations of remaining useful lives are critical. Any changes in key assumptions about the business and its prospects, changes in market conditions or other externalities, or recognition of previously unrecognized intangible assets for impairment testing purposes could result in an impairment charge and such a charge could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations.

Accruals for Unbilled Costs

We estimate unbilled long-distance services Cost of Goods Sold based upon minutes of use carried through our network and established rates. We estimate unbilled costs for new circuits and services, and network changes that result in traffic routing changes or a change in carriers. Carriers that provide service to us regularly make network changes that can lead to new, revised or corrected billings. Such estimates are revised or removed when subsequent billings are received, payments are made, billing matters are researched and resolved, tariffed billing periods lapse, or when disputed charges are resolved. Revisions to previous estimates could either increase or decrease costs in the year in which the estimate is revised which could have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Valuation Allowance for Net Operating Loss Deferred Tax Assets

Our income tax policy provides for deferred income taxes to show the effect of temporary differences between the recognition of revenue and expenses for financial and income tax reporting purposes and between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” We have recorded deferred tax assets of approximately $57.8 million associated with income tax net operating losses that were generated from 1995 to 2006, and that expire from 2010 to 2026. Pre-acquisition income tax net operating losses associated with acquired companies are subject to additional deductibility limits. We have recorded deferred tax assets of approximately $2.6 million associated with alternative minimum tax credits that do not expire. Significant management judgment is required in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that may be required against the deferred tax assets. We have not recorded a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2006 based on management’s belief that future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and estimated future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, will, more likely than not, be sufficient to realize the benefit of these assets over time. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or if our historical trends change, we may be required to record a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Other significant accounting policies, not involving the same level of measurement uncertainties as those discussed above, are nevertheless important to an understanding of the financial statements. Policies related to revenue recognition, share-based payments, and financial instruments require difficult judgments on complex matters that are often subject to multiple sources of authoritative guidance. Certain of these and other matters are among topics currently under reexamination by accounting standards setters and regulators. No specific conclusions reached by these standard setters appear likely to cause a material change in our accounting policies, although outcomes cannot be predicted with confidence. A complete discussion of our significant accounting policies can be found in note 1 in the accompanying “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Geographic Concentration and the Alaska Economy

We offer voice, data and wireless telecommunication services and video services to customers primarily throughout Alaska. Because of this geographic concentration, growth of our business and of our operations depends upon economic conditions in Alaska. The economy of Alaska is dependent upon the natural resource industries, and in particular oil production, as well as investment earnings, tourism, government, and United States military spending. Any deterioration in these markets could have an adverse impact on us. All of the federal funding and the majority of investment revenues are dedicated for specific purposes, leaving oil revenues as the primary source of general operating revenues. In fiscal 2006 the State of Alaska reported that oil revenues, federal funding and investment revenues supplied 41%, 19% and 31%, respectively, of the state’s total revenues. In fiscal 2007 state economists forecast that Alaska’s oil revenues, federal funding and investment revenues will supply 42%, 26% and 24%, respectively, of the state’s total projected revenues.

The volume of oil transported by the TransAlaska Oil Pipeline System over the past 20 years has been as high as 2.0 million barrels per day in fiscal 1988. Production has been declining over the last several years with an average of 0.845 million barrels produced per day in fiscal 2006. The state forecasts the production rate to decline from 0.740 million barrels produced per day in fiscal 2007 to 0.730 million barrels produced per day in fiscal 2017.

Market prices for North Slope oil averaged $60.80 in fiscal 2006 and are forecasted to average $59.15 in fiscal 2007. The closing price per barrel was $55.54 on January 31, 2007. To the extent that actual oil prices vary materially from the state’s projected prices, the state’s projected revenues and deficits will change. Every $5 change in the price per barrel of oil is forecasted to result in an increase of at least $425.0 million in the state’s fiscal 2007 revenue; when the price of oil exceeds $55 per barrel a $5 increase in the price per barrel is forecasted to increase 2007 revenue at least $521.0 million.

The production policy of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its ability to continue to act in concert represents a key uncertainty in the state’s revenue forecast.

The State of Alaska maintains the Constitutional Budget Reserve Fund (“CBRF”) that is intended to fund budgetary shortfalls. If the state’s current projections are realized and no surpluses are deposited into the CBRF it will be depleted in 2018. The date the CBRF is depleted is highly influenced by the price of oil. If the fund is depleted, aggressive state action will be necessary to increase revenues and reduce spending in order to balance the budget. The governor of the State of Alaska and the Alaska legislature continue to evaluate cost cutting and revenue enhancing measures.

Should new oil discoveries or developments not materialize or the price of oil become depressed, the long term trend of continued decline in oil production from the Prudhoe Bay area is inevitable with a corresponding adverse impact on the economy of the state, in general, and on demand for telecommunications and cable television services, and, therefore, on us, in particular. Periodically there are renewed efforts to allow exploration and development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (“ANWR”). The United States Energy Information Agency has estimated that it could take nine years to begin oil field drilling after approval of ANWR exploration.

No assurance can be given that the driving forces in the Alaska economy, and in particular, oil production, will continue at appropriate levels to provide an environment for expanded economic activity.

No assurance can be given that oil companies doing business in Alaska will be successful in discovering new fields or further developing existing fields which are economic to develop and produce oil with access to the pipeline or other means of transport to market. We are not able to predict the effect of changes in the price and production volumes of North Slope oil on Alaska’s economy or on us.

Deployment of a natural gas pipeline from the State of Alaska’s North Slope to the Lower 48 States has been proposed to supplement natural gas supplies. A competing natural gas pipeline through Canada has also been proposed. The economic viability of a natural gas pipeline depends upon the price of and demand for natural gas. Either project could have a positive impact on the State of Alaska’s revenues and could provide a substantial stimulus to the Alaska economy. The Governor of the State of Alaska plans to introduce natural gas pipeline legislation on March 2, 2007. The legislation will outline project criteria that energy companies must meet in exchange for inducement incentives from the State of Alaska to build a natural gas pipeline.

Development of the ballistic missile defense system project has had a significant impact on Alaskan telecommunication requirements. The system is a fixed, land-based, non-nuclear missile defense system with a land and space based detection system capable of responding to limited strategic ballistic missile threats to the United States. The system includes deployment of up to 100 ground-based interceptor silos and battle management command and control facilities at Fort Greely, Alaska.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers awarded a construction contract and construction of test bed facilities began in 2002. As of January 2007 a total of fourteen ground-based missile interceptors have been placed in underground silos. The Missile Defense Agency is reported to expect to emplace seven additional interceptors through September 2007 and expects to have a total of forty interceptors in Alaska by 2011.

Tourism, air cargo, and service sectors have helped offset the prevailing pattern of oil industry downsizing that has occurred during much of the last several years.

We have, since our entry into the telecommunication marketplace, aggressively marketed our services to seek a larger share of the available market. The customer base in Alaska is limited, however, with a population of approximately 670,000 people. The State of Alaska’s population is distributed as follows:

•

42% are located in the Municipality of Anchorage,

•

13% are located in the Fairbanks North Star Borough,

•

12% are located in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough,

•

8% are located in the Kenai Peninsula Borough,

•

5% are located in the City and Borough of Juneau, and

•

The remaining 20% are located in other communities across the State of Alaska.

Seasonality

Revenue derived from our long-distance services product in our Network Access segment have historically been highest in the summer months because of temporary population increases attributable to tourism and increased seasonal economic activity such as construction, commercial fishing, and oil and gas activities. Our long-distance services product in our Consumer and Commercial segments and our other products in all our segments do not exhibit significant seasonality. Our ability to implement construction projects is hampered during the winter months because of cold temperatures, snow and short daylight hours.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or the availability of our capital resources.

Schedule of Certain Known Contractual Obligations

The following table details future projected payments associated with certain known contractual obligations as of December 31, 2006:

		Payments Due by Period
		Total	Less than 1 Year	1 to 3 Years	4 to 5 Years	More Than 5 Years
		(Amounts in thousands)
Long-term debt	$	492,825	1,725	3,300	92,600	395,200
Interest on long-term debt		235,105	35,112	69,887	69,072	61,034
Capital lease obligations, including interest		135,776	2,758	19,336	19,361	94,321
Operating lease commitments		68,564	16,866	17,903	11,480	22,315
Purchase obligations		34,240	23,091	9,149	2,000	---
Other		44,530	44,530	---	---	---
Total contractual obligations	$	1,011,040	124,082	119,575	194,513	572,870

For long-term debt included in the above table, we have included principal payments on our Senior Credit Facility and Senior Notes. Interest on amounts outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility is based on variable rates. We used the current rate paid on the Senior Credit Facility to estimate our future interest payments. Our Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments of $11.6 million through February 2014. For a discussion of our Senior Notes and Senior Credit Facility see note 7 in the accompanying “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

For a discussion of our capital and operating leases, see note 15 in the accompanying “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Purchase obligations include a remaining commitment to purchase a certain number of outdoor, network powered multi-media adapters and other vendor equipment of $5.1 million and a remaining $6.2 million commitment for our Alaska Airlines agreement as further described in note 15 in the accompanying “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” The contracts associated with these commitments are non-cancelable. Purchase obligations also include open purchase orders for goods and services for capital projects and normal operations totaling $16.0 million which are not included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2006, because the goods had not been received or the services had not been performed at December 31, 2006. The open purchase orders are cancelable.

Other consists of our commitment to acquire a substantial equity interest in Alaska DigiTel for $29.5 million and our $15.0 million loan agreement with Alaska DigiTel as further described above.

Regulatory Developments

See “Part I — Item 1 — Business — Regulation, Franchise Authorizations and Tariffs” for more information about regulatory developments affecting us.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has a significant effect on our operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to various types of market risk in the normal course of business, including the impact of interest rate changes. We do not hold derivatives for trading purposes.

Our Senior Credit Facility carries interest rate risk. Amounts borrowed under this Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% or less depending upon our Total Leverage Ratio (as defined). Should the LIBOR rate change, our interest expense will increase or decrease accordingly. As of December 31, 2006, we have borrowed $172.6 million subject to interest rate risk. On this amount, each 1% increase in the LIBOR interest rate would result in $1,726,000 of additional gross interest cost on an annualized basis.

Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Our consolidated financial statements are filed under this Item, beginning on page 82. Our supplementary data is filed under Item 7, beginning on page 51.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a - 15(e)) under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer.

Based on that evaluation and as described below under “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(b)),” we have identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). Because of these material weaknesses, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2006.

The certifications attached as Exhibits 31 and 32 to this report should be read in conjunction with the disclosures set forth herein.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2006, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting because of the existence of two material weaknesses. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The material weaknesses are as follows.

Our policies and procedures did not provide for the review of billing rate changes in two of our systems that produce invoices for our common carrier customers. As a result, the entry of incorrect rates input into these billing systems were not detected, and we over-billed several of our common carrier customers, resulting in material misstatements of revenue and accounts receivable in our preliminary 2006 consolidated financial statements. Our revenue and accounts receivable were corrected prior to the issuance of our 2006 consolidated financial statements.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

(c) Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Subsequent to December 31, 2006, we corrected the billing system rate error so future billings will be issued and recorded using correct rates. We also have initiated processes, procedures and controls over the review and input of billing rates used in this billing system.

We have taken action to remediate the second material weakness described above, however, our remediation was not complete at December 31, 2006. Accordingly, this material weakness continues to be reported as a material weakness at December 31, 2006. We have taken action to remediate this material weakness as follows:

•

Additional staff. In response to our identification of the potential risk due to the increased complexity in interpreting and implementing GAAP, we added a dedicated financial reporting position to assist in the preparation of our external financial reports, including SEC filings, and to interpret and apply accounting pronouncements to transactions.

•

Use of external consultants. In December 2006, we initiated a relationship with a consulting firm experienced in SEC reporting and GAAP compliance. This relationship gives us access to consultants who can advise us on non-routine accounting transactions.

•

Increased professional training budget. We increased our accounting department technical training budget in 2006 to increase and keep current our internal technical knowledge of GAAP, and expanded the group of individuals who attend such training.

•

Increased awareness. Key management and accounting personnel have a heightened awareness of the risk that non-routine transactions may exist that require additional research and analysis. Unusual and complex transactions are reviewed and evaluated to determine if external advisors should be engaged to advise us on the appropriate interpretation and application of GAAP.

We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these processes, procedures and controls, and will make any further changes as management determines to be appropriate.

We cannot assure you that these remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing all control objectives all of the time. See “Part I — Item 1A — Risk Factors.”

(d) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except for the action toward remediation of the second material weakness described above and improvement in the effectiveness of controls relating to management review of journal entries and account reconciliations during the fourth quarter of 2006, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of our controls performed during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting is a system designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of its financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We may enhance, modify, and supplement internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures based on experience.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

General Communication, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of General Communication, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of General Communication, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Notes 1(z) and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. As discussed in Note 1(ah) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of quantifying errors in 2006 to conform to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of General Communication, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 15, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and an adverse opinion on the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

General Communication, Inc.:

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(b)), that General Communication, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, because of the effect of the material weaknesses identified in management’s assessment based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). General Communication, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment:

The Company’s policies and procedures did not provide for the review of billing rate changes in two of their systems that produce invoices for common carrier customers. As a result, the entry of incorrect rates input into these billing systems was not detected, and they over-billed several of their common carrier customers, resulting in material misstatements of revenue and accounts receivable in their preliminary 2006 consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s policies and procedures did not provide for effective analysis and implementation of accounting pronouncements as applied to non-routine transactions. As a result, an error was made regarding the interpretation and application of generally accepted accounting principles related to their 2005 purchase of shares of their Series B preferred stock. The amount that they paid for the preferred stock in excess of the carrying amount of the shares on their balance sheet should have reduced the amount of net income available to common shareholders used to calculate basic and diluted net income per common share. This material weakness resulted in the restatement, during December 2006, of their previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. This material weakness also resulted in the misstatement of accrued liabilities and non-cash compensation expense in their preliminary 2006 consolidated financial statements.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of General Communication, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and

2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2006 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 15, 2007, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that General Communication, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, General Communication, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Basic EPS:
Net income available to common stockholders	18,325	54,684	$ 0.34	19,749	56,989	$ 0.35
Effect of Dilutive Securities:

Diluted EPS:
Net income available to common stockholders	$18,325	55,874	$ 0.33	$19,749	58,196	$ 0.34

Common equivalent shares outstanding which are anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating EPS for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, are not included in the diluted EPS calculations, and consist of the following (shares, in thousands):

	2006		2005	2004
Series B redeemable preferred stock		---	309		1,964
Series C redeemable preferred stock		---	---		779
Anti-dilutive common shares outstanding		---	309		2,743

In May 2005 we redeemed the remaining 4,314 shares of Series B redeemable preferred stock. In December 2004 we redeemed all of the Series C redeemable preferred stock.

Weighted average shares associated with outstanding stock options for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 which have been excluded from the diluted EPS calculations because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares consist of the following (shares, in thousands):

	2006		2005	2004
Weighted average shares associated with outstanding stock options		1,394	310		312

We have not issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings when, and if, we declare dividends on our common stock and, therefore, we do not apply the two-class method of calculating earnings per share.

Shares retired		(2,770	)		(435	)
Balances at December 31, 2006		50,191			3,370

Our Board of Directors has authorized a common stock buyback program for the repurchase of our Class A and Class B common stock in order to reduce our outstanding shares of Class A and Class B common stock. Our Board of Directors authorized us and we obtained permission from our lenders for up to $60.0 million of repurchases through December 31, 2006. We are authorized to continue our stock repurchases of up to $5.0 million per quarter indefinitely and to use stock option exercise proceeds to repurchase additional shares. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 we repurchased 2,858,000, 1,716,000 and 266,000 shares of our Class A and B common stock at a cost of $34.7 million, $16.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The cost of the repurchased common stock is included in Retained Earnings on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

If stock repurchases are less than the total approved quarterly amount the difference may be carried forward and used to repurchase additional shares in future quarters. We expect to continue the repurchases for an indefinite period subject to the availability of free cash flow, availability under our credit facilities, and the price of our Class A and Class B common stock. The repurchases have and will continue to comply with the restrictions of SEC Rule 10b-18.

Redeemable Preferred Stock

We have 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with the following shares issued and outstanding at December 31 2006, 2005 and 2004 (shares, in thousands):

Series B

We issued 20,000 shares of convertible redeemable accreting Series B preferred stock on April 30, 1999. In May 2005 we redeemed the remaining 4,314 share of our Series B preferred stock.

Series C

We issued 10,000 shares of convertible redeemable accreting Series C preferred stock as of June 30, 2001. In December 2004 we redeemed all of the Series C preferred stock.

(f)

Treasury Stock

We account for treasury stock purchased for general corporate purposes under the cost method and include treasury stock as a component of Stockholders’ Equity.

Treasury stock purchased that we intend to retire (whether or not the retirement is actually accomplished) is charged entirely to Retained Earnings.

(g)

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of repurchase interest investments and certificates of deposit which have an original maturity of three months or less and are readily convertible into cash.

(h)

Restricted Cash

We have provided a $4.6 million bank depository account as collateral for a term loan from a bank to Alaska DigiTel.

(i)

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We base our estimates on the aging of our accounts receivable balances, financial health of specific customers, regional economic data, changes in our collections process, regulatory requirements, and our customers’ compliance with Universal Service Administrative Company rules. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts methodology at least annually. During the review process we consider a change to our methodology if there are any changes to these factors.

Depending upon the type of account receivable our allowance is calculated using a pooled basis with an allowance for all accounts greater than 120 days past due, a specific identification method, or a combination of the two methods. When a specific identification method is used past due balances over 90 days old and balances less than 90 days old but potentially uncollectible due to bankruptcy or other issues are reviewed individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when we feel it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. We do not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to our customers.

Inventories

Wireless handset inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method. Handset costs in excess of the revenues generated from handset sales, or handset subsidies, are expensed at the time of sale. We do not recognize the expected handset subsidies prior to the time of sale because the promotional discount decision is made at the point of sale and/or because we expect to recover the handset subsidies through service revenue.

Inventories of merchandise for resale and parts are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method.

(k)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Construction costs of facilities are capitalized. Equipment financed under capital leases is recorded at the lower of fair market value or the present value of future minimum lease payments. Construction in progress represents distribution equipment and systems and support equipment and systems not placed in service on December 31, 2006 that management intends to place in service during 2007.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis based upon the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term, if applicable, in the following ranges:

Asset Category		Asset Lives
Telephony distribution equipment and systems and fiber optic cable systems		10-20 years
Cable television distribution equipment and systems		3-10 years
Support equipment and systems		3-10 years
Transportation equipment		5-10 years
Property and equipment under capital leases		12-20 years
Buildings		40 years

Amortization of property and equipment under capital leases is included in Depreciation and Amortization Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Accumulated depreciation is removed and gains or losses are recognized at the time of retirements, sales or other dispositions of property and equipment.

(l)

Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of

Long-lived assets to be disposed of,including those of discontinued operations, if any, are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, if applicable. We classify a long-lived asset to be disposed of other than by sale as held and used until it is disposed of. We classify a long-lived asset to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of certain criteria established by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets” are met. We do not depreciate or amortize long-lived assets to be sold.

A loss is recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down to fair value less cost to sell. A gain is recognized for any subsequent increase in fair value less cost to sell, but not in excess of the cumulative loss previously recognized (for a write-down to fair value less cost to sell). The loss or gain adjusts only the carrying amount of a long-lived asset, whether classified as held for sale individually or as part of a disposal group. A gain or loss not previously recognized that results from the sale of a long-lived asset (disposal group) is recognized at the date of sale.

(m)

Intangible Assets

Goodwill and cable certificates (certificates of convenience and public necessity) are not amortized. Cable certificates represent certain perpetual operating rights to provide cable

97(Continued)

GENERAL COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

services. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired in connection with a business acquisition. Goodwill is not allocated to our segments as our Chief Operating Decision Maker does not review a balance sheet by segment to make decisions about resource allocation or evaluate segment performance. Goodwill is allocated to our Consumer and Commercial reporting segments for the sole purpose of the annual impairment test.

The cost of our Personal Communication Services license and related financing costs were capitalized as an amortizable intangible asset. The associated assets were placed into service during 2000 and the recorded cost of the license is being amortized over a 40-year period using the straight-line method. All other amortizable intangible assets are being amortized over 2 to 20 year periods using the straight-line method.

(n)

Impairment of Intangibles, Goodwill, and Long-lived Assets

Cable certificate assets are tested annually for impairment, and are tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the asset becomes its new accounting basis. Impairment testing of our cable certificate assets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 used a direct value method.

Our goodwill assets are tested annually for impairment, and are tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, we determine the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill asset over the implied fair value of that asset. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.”

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

(o)

Amortization and Write-off of Loan and Senior Notes Fees

Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method. If a refinancing or amendment of a debt instrument is a substantial modification, all or a portion of the applicable debt issuance costs are written off.

(p)

Other Assets

Other Assets primarily include long-term deposits, prepayments, a performance bond, and non-trade accounts receivable. The performance bond of $0 and $2.6 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, is a restricted asset.

(q)

Asset Retirement Obligations

We record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, a conditional asset retirement obligation is recognized as a liability if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. When the liability is initially recorded, we capitalize a cost by increasing the carrying

GENERAL COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, we either settle the obligation for its recorded amount or incur a gain or loss upon settlement.

The majority of our asset retirement obligation is the estimated cost to remove telephony distribution equipment and support equipment from leased property.

Following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending aggregate carrying amount of our liability for asset retirement obligation (amounts in thousands):

Balance at December 31, 2004	$	2,971
Liability incurred		41
Accretion expense		198
Balance at December 31, 2005		3,210
Liability incurred		30
Accretion expense		172
Liability settled		(4	)
Balance at December 31, 2006	$	3,408

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 we recorded additional capitalized costs of $30,000 and $41,000, respectively, in Property and Equipment in Service, Net of Depreciation.

Alaska Airlines, Inc. Contract

Our contract with Alaska Airlines provides that we purchase a specific minimum number of mileage awards in the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan each year at a specific price per mile. If we exceed the minimum purchase commitment in any of the specified periods, the excess miles are priced at a reduced fixed cost per mile. Alaska Airlines invoices us for all mileage credited during the prior month. Our contractual cost for purchased miles is not tied or related in any way to our customers’ usage of the awarded miles. Use of the miles is a transaction between our customers and Alaska Airlines and does not involve us in any way. Accordingly we do not account for or record our customers’ usage of miles purchased.

We have recorded a liability for the estimated obligation under the contract as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. We estimated the amount of the obligation based on the amount of mileage awards purchased through December 31, 2006 and 2005 in comparison to the required minimum commitment. We have recorded the expense for the miles purchased from Alaska Airlines in Selling, General and Administrative expenses for each of our benefiting segments.

(s)

Revenue Recognition

All revenues are recognized when the earnings process is complete in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins (“SAB”) No. 101 and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” as follows:

•

Revenues generated from long-distance service usage and plan fees, Internet service excess usage, and managed services are recognized when the services are provided,

•

Cable television service package fees, local access and Internet service plan fees, and private line telecommunication revenues are billed in advance, recorded as Deferred Revenue on the balance sheet, and are recognized as the associated service is provided,

•

Certain of our wireless services offerings have been determined to be revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. Revenues are recognized as each element is earned based on objective evidence regarding the relative fair value of each element and when there are no undelivered elements that are essential to the functionality of the delivered elements. Revenues generated from wireless service usage and plan fees are

99(Continued)

GENERAL COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

recognized when the services are provided. Revenues generated from the sale of wireless handsets and accessories are recognized when title to the handset and accessories passes to the customer. As the non-refundable, up-front activation fee charged to the customer does not meet the criteria as a separate unit of accounting, we allocate the additional arrangement consideration received from the activation fee to the handset (the delivered item) to the extent that the aggregate handset and activation fee proceeds do not exceed the fair value of the handset. Any activation fees not allocated to the handset would be deferred upon activation and recognized as service revenue on a straight-line basis over the expected customer relationship period,

•

The majority of our equipment sale transactions involve the sale of communications equipment with no other services involved. Such equipment is subject to standard manufacturer warranties and we do not manufacture any of the equipment we sell. In such instances the customer takes title to the equipment generally upon delivery. We recognize revenue for such transactions when title passes to the customer and the revenue is earned and realizable pursuant to the provisions of SAB 101 and SAB 104. On certain occasions we enter into agreements to sell and satisfactorily install or integrate telecommunications equipment for a fixed fee. Customers may have refund rights if the installed equipment does not meet certain performance criteria. We defer revenue recognition until we have received customer acceptance per the contract or agreement, and all other required revenue recognition elements have been achieved. Revenues from contracts with multiple element arrangements, such as those including installation and integration services, are recognized as each element is earned based on objective evidence regarding the relative fair value of each element and when there are no undelivered elements that are essential to the functionality of the delivered elements,

•

Technical services revenues are derived primarily from maintenance contracts on equipment and are recognized on a prorated basis over the term of the contracts,

•

Revenues from white and yellow page directories are recognized ratably during the period following publication, which typically begins with distribution and is complete in the month prior to publication of the next directory,

•

Other revenues are recognized when the service is provided,

•

We recognize unbilled revenues when the service is provided based upon minutes of use processed, and/or established rates, net of credits and adjustments, and

•

We account for the sale of fiber capacity indefeasible rights to use (“IRU”) as sales-type leases if substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership have been transferred to the purchaser. If substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership have not been transferred to the purchaser, we defer the revenue and recognize it ratably over the life of the IRU.

(t)

Payments Received from Suppliers

Our cable services segment occasionally receives reimbursements for costs to promote suppliers’ services, called cooperative advertising arrangements. The supplier payment is classified as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses if it reimburses specific, incremental and identifiable costs incurred to resell the suppliers’ services. Excess consideration, if any, is classified as a reduction of cost of goods sold.

Occasionally our Consumer and Commercial segments enters into a binding arrangement with a supplier in which we receive a rebate dependent upon us meeting a specified goal. We recognize the rebate as a reduction of cost of goods sold systematically as we make progress toward the specified goal, provided the amounts are probable and reasonably estimable. If earning the rebate is not probable and reasonably estimable, it is recognized only when the goal is met.

(u)

Advertising Expense

We expense advertising costs in the year during which the first advertisement appears. Advertising expenses were approximately $3,462,000, $3,188,000 and $3,281,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(v)

Leases

We account for capital and operating leases as lessee as required by SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and in subsequently issued amendments and interpretations of SFAS No. 13. Scheduled operating lease rent increases are amortized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Contingent rent expense results from increases in the Consumer Price Index. Rent holidays are recognized on a straight-line basis over the operating lease term (including any rent holiday period).

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term. We may amortize a leasehold improvement over a term that includes assumption of a lease renewal if the renewal is reasonably assured. Leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of acquisition. Leasehold improvements that are placed in service significantly after and are not contemplated at or near the beginning of the lease term are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date the leasehold improvements are purchased. Leasehold improvements made by us and funded by landlord incentives or allowances under an operating lease are recorded as deferred rent and amortized as reductions to lease expense over the lease term.

(w)

Interest Expense

Material interest costs incurred during the construction period of non-software capital projects are capitalized. Interest costs incurred during the development period of a software capital project are capitalized. Interest is capitalized in the period commencing with the first expenditure for a qualifying capital project and ending when the capital project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. We capitalized interest cost of approximately $820,000, $0 and $1.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(x)

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for their future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable earnings in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets recognized are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that the benefits are more likely to be realized than not.

(y)

Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (“ILEC”) Over-earnings Refunds

We receive refunds from time to time from ILECs with which we do business in respect of their earnings that exceed regulatory requirements. Telephone companies that are rate regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) using the rate of return method are required by the FCC to refund earnings from interstate access charges assessed to long-distance carriers when their earnings exceed their authorized rate of return. Such refunds are computed based on the regulated carrier’s earnings in several access categories. Uncertainties exist with respect to the amount of their earnings, the refunds (if any), their timing, and their realization. We account for such refundable amounts as gain contingencies, and, accordingly, do not recognize them until realization is a certainty upon receipt.

(z)

Share-based Payment Arrangements

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” and related interpretations, to account for share-based compensation using the modified prospective transition method and therefore will not restate our prior period results. SFAS 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and revises guidance in SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based

101(Continued)

GENERAL COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Compensation.” Among other things, SFAS 123(R) requires that compensation expense be recognized in the financial statements for share-based awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards. The modified prospective transition method applies to (a) unvested stock options under our 1986 Stock Option Plan (“Stock Option Plan”) and unvested stock options not issued pursuant to a plan that were outstanding as of December 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) any new share-based awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Additionally, share-based compensation expense includes an estimate for pre-vesting forfeitures and is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards on a straight-line basis, which is generally commensurate with the vesting term. We have recorded $3,509,000 of share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, during the year ended December 31, 2006 as a result of our adoption of SFAS 123(R). See note 10 for information on the assumptions we used to calculate the fair value of share-based compensation.

Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for all of our stock option awards in accordance with APB No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for a stock option grant was recognized only if the exercise price was less than the market value of our common stock on the grant date. Prior to our adoption of SFAS 123(R), as required under the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, as amended, we provided pro forma net income and income per common share for each period as if we had applied the fair value method to measure share-based compensation expense.

SFAS 123(R) requires the benefits associated with tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow rather than as an operating cash flow as previously required.

The table below shows the effect of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on selected items and what those items would have been under previous guidance under APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123 for the year ended December 31, 2006 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

Stock Options and Stock Warrants Issued for Non-employee Services

Stock options and warrants issued in exchange for non-employee services pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 123(R), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-3 and EITF 96-18 are accounted for at the fair value of the consideration or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

When a stock option or warrant is issued for non-employee services where the fair value of such services is not stated, we estimate the value of the stock option or warrant issued using the Black- Scholes-Merton method.

The fair value determined using these principles is charged to operating expense over the shorter of the term for which non-employee services are provided, if stated, or the stock option or warrant vesting period.

(ab)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include the allowance for doubtful receivables, valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets, depreciable and amortizable lives of assets, the carrying value of long-lived assets including goodwill and cable certificates, and the accrual of cost of goods sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense) (“Cost of Goods Sold”). Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(ac)

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Excess cash is invested in high quality short-term liquid money instruments issued by highly rated financial institutions. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were invested in short-term liquid money instruments at one highly rated financial institution.

We have one major customer, Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”) (see note 11). We also provide services to Sprint Nextel and Dobson. Although these customers do not meet the threshold for classification as a major customer, we do derive significant revenues and operating income from them. There is increased risk associated with this customer’s accounts receivable balances. Our remaining customers are located primarily throughout Alaska. Because of this geographic concentration, our growth and operations depend upon economic conditions in Alaska. The economy of Alaska is dependent upon the natural resources industries, and in particular oil production, as well as tourism, government, and United States military spending. Though limited to one geographical area and except for Verizon, Sprint Nextel and Dobson, the concentration of credit risk with respect to our receivables is minimized due to the large number of customers, individually small balances, and short payment terms.

Software Capitalization Policy

Internally used software, whether purchased or developed, is capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years. In accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” we capitalize certain costs associated with internally developed software such as payroll costs of employees devoting time to the projects and external direct costs for materials and services. Costs associated with internally developed software to be used internally are expensed until the point the project has reached the development stage. Subsequent additions, modifications or upgrades to internal-use software are capitalized only to the extent that they allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. Software maintenance and training

104(Continued)

GENERAL COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. The capitalization of software requires judgment in determining when a project has reached the development stage.

(ae)

Guarantees

Certain of our customers have guaranteed levels of service. We accrue for guarantees as they become probable and estimable.

We account for Alaska Digitel, LLC’s (“Alaska DigiTel”) debt guarantee according to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” At December 31, 2006, we had a $4.6 million outstanding contingent liability for the debt guarantee. We guaranteed a loan secured by Alaska DigiTel from a bank. If Alaska DigiTel had defaulted on their loan we would have been liable for up to $4.6 million. In January 2007 we were released from the guarantee subsequent to our investment in Alaska DigiTel.

(af)

Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets

The cost of a nonmonetary asset or service acquired in exchange for another nonmonetary asset or service is based upon the fair value of the asset surrendered to obtain it unless the fair value is not determinable, the transaction is an exchange of a product or property held for sale in the ordinary course of business for a product or property to be sold in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers other than the parties to the exchange, or the exchange lacks commercial substance. If the exceptions apply we value the transaction using the recorded amount (after reduction, if appropriate, for an indicated impairment of value) of the nonmonetary asset or service relinquished. A gain or loss may be recognized on the exchange.

(ag)

New Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We will begin application of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and do not expect it to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 requires a dual approach for quantifying misstatements using both a method that quantifies a misstatement based on the amount of misstatement originating in the current year statement of operations, as well as a method that quantifies a misstatement based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet. Prior to the adoption of SAB No. 108, we quantified any misstatements in our consolidated financial statements using the statement of operations method in addition to evaluating qualitative characteristics. As this method focuses solely on the statement of operations, this can lead to the accumulation of misstatements in the balance sheet that may become material if recorded in a particular period.

Prior to January 1, 2006, only the interest costs incurred during the construction period of significant capital projects, such as construction of an undersea fiber optic cable system, were capitalized. Beginning January 1, 2006, we modified our interest capitalization policy resulting in the capitalization of material interest costs incurred during the construction period of non-software capital projects and the capitalization of interest costs incurred during the development period of a software capital project.

These misstatements accumulated over several years and were immaterial when quantifying the misstatements using the statement of operations method. Upon adoption of SAB No. 108 on

January 1, 2006, we recorded a $3.5 million increase to property and equipment in service and $1.6 million increase to accumulated depreciation for the cumulative misstatement as of December 31, 2005. Accordingly, we increased retained earnings by $1.1 million and recorded $772,000 as a long-term deferred tax liability.

We paid income taxes totaling $689,000, $133,000 and $205,000 during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We received $5,000 in income tax refunds during the year ended December 31, 2006. We received no income tax refunds during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

We recorded a net cumulative effect adjustment (benefit) of $64,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006 for share-based compensation instruments outstanding at December 31, 2005 for which the requisite service is not expected to be rendered. We recorded $922,000 and $1,730,000 during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, in paid-in capital in recognition of the income tax effect of excess stock compensation expense for tax purposes over amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes.

(5)	Intangible Assets

As of December 31, 2006 cable certificates and goodwill were tested for impairment and the fair values were greater than the carrying amounts, therefore these intangible assets were determined not to be impaired at December 31, 2006. The remaining useful lives of our cable certificates and goodwill were evaluated as of December 31, 2006 and events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, we decided to close an operating subsidiary and in connection with the closure we determined the software for a Managed Broadband segment product offering with a net book value of $790,000 was impaired and had no net realizable value. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized the impairment in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

No other intangible assets subject to amortization have been impaired based upon impairment testing performed as of December 31, 2006. No indicators of impairment have occurred since the impairment testing was performed.

Other Intangible Assets subject to amortization include the following at December 31, 2006 and 2005 (amounts in thousands):

The Senior Notes limit our ability to make cash dividend payments.

In 2004 we conducted a Consent Solicitation and Tender Offer for our old Senior Notes which were replaced by our current Senior Notes. The total redemption cost was $186.1 million. The premium to redeem our old Senior Notes was $6.1 million (excluding interest cost of $1.3 million) and was recognized as a loss on early extinguishment of debt, a component of Other Income (Expense), during the year ended December 31, 2004 in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Semi-annual interest payments of approximately $11.6 million are payable in February and August of each year.

The Senior Notes are subordinate to our Senior Credit Facility.

Our Senior Notes key debt covenants require our Total Leverage Ratio (as defined) be 6.0:1.0 or less and our Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined) be 3.0:1.0 or less if our Senior Notes are greater than $250.0 million. We were in compliance with all Senior Notes loan covenants at December 31, 2006.

(b)

We have an outstanding Senior Credit Facility of $172.6 million at December 31, 2006. The Senior Credit Facility includes a $160.0 million term loan and a $55.0 million revolving credit facility with a $25.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. Our term loan is fully drawn, we borrowed $15.0 million under our revolving credit facility in December 2006, and we have letters of credit outstanding totaling $4.3 million at December 31, 2006 which leaves $35.7 million available at December 31, 2006 to draw under the revolving credit facility if needed. We repaid $10.0 million on the revolving credit facility in January 2007. The term and revolving loan portions of our Senior Credit Facility are due in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

On August 31, 2005 our April 2004 Senior Credit Facility was amended and restated. Proceeds from the amendment were used to pay down our previous Senior Credit Facility and to pay off our Satellite Transponder Capacity Capital Lease with the remainder used to pay financing fees. Outstanding principal of $35.8 million on the Satellite Transponder Capacity Capital Lease was repaid, and we incurred a $2.8 million charge due to the early termination of the capital lease which is classified as a component of Other Income (Expense) during the year ended December 31, 2005 in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets collateralize the Senior Credit Facility.

A portion of the 2005 amendment was a substantial modification of our April 2004 Senior Credit Facility and we therefore recognized $1.8 million in Amortization and Write-off of Loan and Senior Notes Fees during the year ended December 31, 2005 in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are subject to certain financial covenants and restrictions on indebtedness, dividend payments, financial guarantees, business combinations, and other related items. Our Senior Credit Facility key debt covenants require our Senior Credit Facility Total Leverage Ratio (as defined) be 4.50:1.0 or less, the Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined) limit is 2.25:1.0, and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined) must be less than 1.0:1.0.

We utilized federal tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $22.8 million in 2006. Our utilization of certain net operating loss carryforwards is subject to limitations pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 382.

Our utilization of remaining acquired net operating loss carryforwards is subject to annual limitations pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 382 which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses.

Tax benefits associated with recorded deferred tax assets are considered to be more likely than not realizable through taxable income earned in carryback years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, and future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. The amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

(10)	Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

GCI’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical in all respects, except that each share of Class A common stock has one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock has ten votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock outstanding is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of Class A common stock.

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 we repurchased 2,858,000 and 1,716,000, respectively, shares of our Class A and Class B common stock at a cost of approximately $34.7 million and $16.1 million, respectively, pursuant to the Class A and Class B common stock repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors and approved by our lenders. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 we retired 3,205,000 and 1,344,000 shares, respectively, of our Class A and Class B common stock that we purchased pursuant to the Class A and Class B common stock repurchase program.

In December 2004 we repurchased from MCI 3,752,000 of our Class A common shares at $8.33 per share; the shares were retired in December 2004. At December 31, 2006 and 2005 Verizon and MCI, respectively, owned none of our issued and outstanding Class A shares. Verizon and MCI owned 1,276,000 shares of our Class B common stock that represented 38 percent of the issued and outstanding Class B shares at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and 15 percent and 14 percent of voting interest at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In March 2007, Verizon sold all of their GCI Class B common stock to two individuals in a private transaction.

In January 2004, 3,100 shares of our Series B preferred stock were converted to approximately 560,000 shares of our Class A common stock at the stated conversion price of $5.55 per share. In August 2004, 3,300 shares of our Series B preferred stock were converted to 599,600 shares of our

115(Continued)

GENERAL COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Class A common stock at the stated conversion price of $5.55 per share. In November 2004, 5,000 shares of our Series B preferred stock were converted to 900,000 shares of our Class A common stock at the stated conversion price of $5.55 per share.

In May 2005 we repurchased the remaining 4,300 shares of our Series B preferred stock for a total purchase price of $6.6 million. The 4,300 preferred shares were convertible into 777,300 shares of our Class A common stock and the transaction price represented an equivalent Class A common stock purchase price of $8.50 per share. The repurchase of our Series B preferred stock was not part of our buyback program discussed below.

Share-Based Compensation

Our Stock Option Plan, as amended, provides for the grant of options for a maximum of 13.2 million shares of GCI Class A common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, consolidations or certain other changes in corporate structure or capitalization. If an option expires or terminates, the shares subject to the option will be available for further grants of options under the Stock Option Plan. The Compensation Committee of GCI’s Board of Directors administers the Stock Option Plan. Substantially all stock options granted vest in equal installments over a period of five years, and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan are only exercisable if at the time of exercise the option holder is our employee, non-employee director, or a consultant or advisor working on our behalf. New shares are issued when stock option agreements are exercised. Our share repurchase program as described above may include the purchase of shares issued pursuant to stock option agreement exercise transactions. We discontinued offering a cash-settlement exercise option to employees on October 23, 2006 and do not intend to cash-settle option exercises in the future.

We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards under SFAS 123(R), which is the same valuation technique we previously used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. We have reviewed our historical pattern of option exercises and have determined that meaningful differences in option exercise activity existed among employee job categories. Therefore, for all stock options granted after January 1, 2006, we have categorized these awards into two groups of employees for valuation purposes, which is the same technique we previously used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.

We estimated the expected term of options granted by evaluating the vesting period of stock option awards, employee’s past exercise and post-vesting employment departure behavior, and expected volatility of the price of the underlying shares.

We estimated the expected volatility of our common stock at the grant date using the historical volatility of our common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected stock option term and evaluated the extent to which available information indicated that future volatility may differ from historical volatility.

The risk-free interest rate assumption was determined using the Federal Reserve nominal rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, we assumed an expected dividend yield of zero.

116(Continued)

GENERAL COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The following table shows our assumptions used to compute the share-based compensation expense and pro forma information in note 1(z) for stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

	2006	2005	2004
Expected term (years)	5.4 – 8.0	4.3 – 5.2	5.0 – 6.3
Volatility	43.3% – 61.4%	41.9% – 45.5%	45.6% – 53.8%
Risk-free interest rate	4.7% – 5.0%	3.7% – 4.4%	2.4% – 4.0%

SFAS 123(R) requires us to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures at the time of grant and periodically revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We record share-based compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate based on our historical pre-vesting forfeiture data. Previously, we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred under the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 for periods prior to 2006. The transition impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), attributed to accruing for expected forfeitures on outstanding share-based awards, totaled $108,000, which was reduced by income tax expense of $44,000 and is reported as cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $6.92 per share, $4.81 per share and $4.65 per share, respectively. The total fair value of options vesting during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $3.6 million, $3.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense was $11.5 million as of December 31, 2006, relating to a total of 2.8 million unvested stock options. We expect to recognize this share-based compensation expense over a weighted average period of 2.9 years.

The total intrinsic value, determined as of the date of exercise, of options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $9.8 million, $2.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively. We received $11.5 million, $4.0 million and $6.2 million in cash from stock option exercises in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We used cash of $5.8 million to settle stock option agreements in the year ended December 31, 2006. We did not use cash to settle stock option agreements in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In December 1986, we adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The 401(k) Plan provides for acquisition of GCI’s Class A and Class B common stock at market value. The 401(k) Plan permits each employee who has completed one year of service to elect to participate in the 401(k) Plan. Through December 31, 2006, eligible employees could elect to reduce their compensation by up to 50 percent of such compensation (subject to certain limitations) up to a maximum of $15,000. Beginning January 1, 2007, eligible employees can elect to reduce their compensation by up to 50 percent of such compensation (subject to certain limitations) up to a maximum of $15,500. Eligible employees may contribute up to 10 percent of their compensation with after-tax dollars, or they may elect a combination of salary reductions and after-tax contributions.

Eligible employees were allowed to make catch-up contributions of no more than $5,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006 and will be able to make such contributions limited to $5,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007. We do not match employee catch-up contributions.

We may match employee salary reductions and after tax contributions in any amount, decided by our Board of Directors each year, but not more than 10 percent of any one employee’s compensation will be matched in any year. Matching contributions vest over the initial six years of employment. For the year ended December 31, 2004 the combination of salary reductions, after tax contributions and matching contributions could not exceed the lesser of 100 percent of an employee’s compensation or $41,000 (determined after salary reduction) for any year. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the combination of salary reductions, after tax contributions and matching contributions could not exceed the lesser of 100 percent of an employee’s compensation or $42,000 (determined after salary reduction). For the year ended December 31, 2006, the combination of salary reductions, after tax contributions and matching contributions could not exceed the lesser of 100 percent of an employee’s compensation or $44,000 (determined after salary reduction).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Employee contributions may be invested in GCI Class A and Class B common stock, AT&T common stock, Comcast Corporation common stock, or various mutual funds.

Prior to April 1, 2004 employee contributions invested in GCI common stock received up to 100% matching, as determined by our Board of Directors each year, in GCI common stock and employee contributions invested in other than GCI common stock received up to 50% matching, as determined by our Board of Directors each year, in GCI common stock. As of April 1, 2004 employee contributions received up to 100% matching, as determined by our Board of Directors each year, in GCI common stock. As of January 1, 2007, employee contributions will receive up to 100% matching and employees can self-direct their matching investment.

Our matching contributions allocated to participant accounts totaled approximately $4,649,000, $5,180,000, and $4,858,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The 401(k) Plan may, at its discretion, purchase shares of GCI common stock from GCI at market value or may purchase GCI’s common stock on the open market. We funded all of our employer-matching contributions through market purchases during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

(11)	Industry Segments Data

Our reportable segments are business units that offer different products. The reportable segments are each managed separately and serve distinct types of customers.

Beginning January 1, 2006, we reorganized to more efficiently meet the demands of technological and product convergence by realigning along customer lines rather than product lines. Our four reportable segments became Consumer, Network Access, Commercial and Managed Broadband, replacing the Long-distance, Cable, Local Access and Internet services segments.

Reportable segment data and All Other Category data for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 have been reclassified for comparability purposes, as follows:

•

Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were reclassified to conform to the new segment organizational structure. A combination of specific identification and general allocations were employed to reclassify amounts for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Allocated amounts were generally determined using segment revenue or customer counts derived from first quarter of 2006 segment data. We believe the first quarter of 2006 division of revenue and customers by segment is representative of the customer composition for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 for purposes of reclassifying revenue and Cost of Goods Sold amounts for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

•

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were reclassified to conform to the new segment organizational structure. A combination of specific and general allocations was employed to reclassify amounts for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, as follows:

Certain SG&A expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006 were directly charged to each new reportable segment. The amount of comparable SG&A directly charged to each segment during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 based upon our new organizational structure is not practicable to calculate. We believe the 2006 amounts are representative of the amounts allocable during 2005 and 2004, and therefore allocated such amounts to each reportable segment in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

The remaining SG&A expenses, consisting of corporate related expenses further described below, were allocated to each segment in the years ended December 31,

2005 and 2004 using the percentage of each segment’s margin for the year ended December 31, 2004 to total margin for the same period.

•

Bad debt recovery for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was reclassified to conform to the new segment organizational structure. A combination of specific identification and general allocations based upon segment revenue for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were employed to reclassify bad debt recovery for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

•

Restructuring charge and loss on termination of capital lease for the year ended December 31, 2005 were reclassified to conform to the new segment organizational structure using the percentage of each segment’s margin for the year ended December 31, 2004 to total margin for the same period.

•

Loss on early extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2004 was reclassified to conform to the new segment organizational structure using the percentage of each segment’s margin for the year ended December 31, 2004 to total margin for the same period.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 is no longer allocated to reportable segments as our Chief Operating Decision Maker now evaluates each segments’ performance based upon its earnings from operations before depreciation, amortization, net interest expense and income tax expense.

A description of our four reportable segments follows:

Consumer - We offer a full range of voice, video, data and wireless services to residential customers.

Network Access - We offer a full range of voice and data services to common carrier customers.

Commercial - We offer a full range of voice, video, data and wireless services to business and governmental customers.

Managed Broadband - We offer data services to rural school districts, rural hospitals and health clinics through our SchoolAccess® and Rural Health initiatives.

Corporate related expenses including engineering, operations and maintenance of our core network, information technology, accounting, legal and regulatory, human resources, and other general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 are allocated to our segments using segment margin for the year ended December 31, 2005. Bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 is allocated to our segments using a combination of specific identification and allocations based upon segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006.

We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on earnings from operations before depreciation and amortization expense, net interest expense and income tax expense. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in note 1. Intersegment sales are recorded at cost plus an agreed upon intercompany profit.

We earn all revenues through sales of services and products within the United States. All of our long-lived assets are located within the United States of America, except approximately 82% of our undersea fiber optic cable systems which transit international waters and all of our satellite transponders.

Assets at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 and capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are not allocated to reportable segments as our Chief Operating Decision Maker does not review a balance sheet or capital expenditures by segment to make decisions about resource allocations or to evaluate segment performance.

We earn revenues included in the Network Access segment from Verizon (formerly MCI), a major customer. We earned revenues from Verizon, net of discounts, of approximately $93,399,000, $85,396,000 and $81,741,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As a percentage of total revenues, Verizon revenues totaled 19.6%, 19.3% and 19.2% for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

In July 2002, MCI and substantially all of its active United States subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court. In July 2003, the United States Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement agreement for pre-petition amounts owed to us by MCI and affirmed all of our existing contracts with MCI. MCI emerged from bankruptcy protection in April 2004. The remaining pre-petition accounts receivable balance owed by MCI to us after this settlement was $11.1 million (“MCI credit”) which we have used as a credit against amounts payable for services purchased from MCI.

After settlement, we began reducing the MCI credit as we utilized it for services otherwise payable to MCI. We have accounted for our use of the MCI credit as a gain contingency, and, accordingly, recognized a reduction of bad debt expense as services were provided by MCI and the credit was realized. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 we realized approximately $370,000, $3.3 million, $4.2 million, respectively, of the MCI credit against amounts payable for services received from MCI.

The remaining unused MCI credit totaled $0 and $370,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The credit balance was not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as we recognized recovery of bad debt expense as the credit was realized.

In the fourth quarter of 2005 we recognized a decrease in Cost of Goods Sold upon the receipt of $9.1 million from the settlement of four separate claims with AT&T Corp. and AT&T Alascom, Inc. pursuant to a master agreement.

(12)	Restructuring Charge

In August 2005, we committed to a reorganization plan to more efficiently meet the demands of technological and product convergence by realigning along customer lines rather than product lines. The reorganization plan included integration of several functions resulting in the layoff of 76 employees by November 30, 2005. The reorganization was completed and became effective on January 1, 2006. Beginning January 1, 2006 we are reorganized under Consumer, Commercial, Network Access and Managed Broadband segments, replacing the Long-distance, Cable, Local Access and Internet services segments.

Charges incurred in relation to the reorganization plan were accounted for under SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” The total costs incurred under the plan were approximately $2.2 million which were recognized primarily during the year ended December 31, 2005 in accordance with SFAS No. 146.

The following table sets forth the restructuring charges by segment during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 (amounts in thousands):

		Consumer	Network Access	Commer-cial	Managed Broadband	Total Reportable Segments
Restructuring charge incurred through the year ending December 31, 2005	$	660	737	417	153	1,967

(13)	Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. At December 31, 2006 and 2005 the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net receivables, current portion of notes receivable from related parties, accounts payable, accrued payroll and payroll related obligations, accrued interest, accrued liabilities, and subscriber deposits approximate their carrying value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments at December 31, 2006 and 2005 follow (amounts in thousands):

125(Continued)

GENERAL COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

		2006				2005
		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Notes receivable with related parties	$		44		44		2,544		2,544
Current and long-term debt and capital lease obligations			492,319		492,527		476,512		477,044
Other liabilities			11,915		11,808		8,657		8,515

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair values:

Notes receivable from related parties: Substantially all of the carrying value of the long-term portion of notes receivable from related parties is estimated to approximate fair value because these instruments are subject to variable interest rates.

Current and long-term debt and capital lease obligations: The fair value of our Senior Notes is estimated based on the quoted market price for the same issue. The fair value of our Senior Credit Facility is estimated to approximate the carrying value because these instruments are subject to variable interest rates. The fair value of our capital leases and capital leases due to related party are estimated based upon the discounted amount of future cash flows using our current incremental rate of borrowing on our Senior Credit Facility.

Other Liabilities: Deferred compensation liabilities have no defined maturity dates therefore the fair value is the amount payable on demand as of the balance sheet date. Asset retirement obligations are recorded at their fair value and, over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period. Lease escalation liabilities are valued at the discounted amount of future cash flows using the Senior Credit Facility interest rate at December 31, 2006. Our non-employee share-based compensation awards are reported at their fair value at each reporting period.

(14)	Related Party Transactions

MCI

MCI was a related party through December 7, 2004. In December 2004 we repurchased from MCI 3,752,000 shares of our Class A common stock after which MCI no longer qualifies as a related party. We earned revenues from MCI, net of discounts, of approximately $81,741,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. As a percentage of total revenues, MCI revenues totaled 19.2% for the year ended December 31, 2004.

We paid MCI to distribute our traffic in the contiguous 48 states and Hawaii approximately $4,174,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Other

We entered into a long-term capital lease agreement in 1991 with the wife of our President and CEO for property occupied by us. The leased asset was capitalized in 1991 at the owner’s cost of $900,000 and the related obligation was recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The lease agreement was amended in September 2002. The amended lease terminates on September 30, 2011. Through September 30, 2006 our monthly payment was $20,860 and increased to $21,532 per month on October 1, 2006, and will continue at that rate through September 30, 2011.

In January 2001 we entered into an aircraft operating lease agreement with a company owned by our President and CEO. The lease was amended effective January 1, 2002 and February 25, 2005. The lease term is month-to-month and may be terminated at any time upon one hundred and twenty days written notice. The monthly lease rate is $75,000. Upon signing the lease, the lessor was granted an option to purchase 250,000 shares of GCI Class A common stock at $6.50 per share, of which 150,000

shares remain and are exercisable at December 31, 2006. We paid a deposit of $1.5 million in connection with the lease. The deposit will be repaid to us upon the earlier of six months after the agreement terminates, or nine months after the date of a termination notice. The lessor may sell to us the stock arising from the exercise of the stock option or surrender the right to purchase all or a portion of the stock option to repay the deposit, if allowed by our debt instruments in effect at such time.

Leases

Operating Leases as Lessee. We lease business offices, have entered into site lease agreements and use satellite transponder and fiber capacity and certain equipment pursuant to operating lease arrangements. Rental costs, including immaterial amounts of contingent rent expense, under such arrangements amounted to approximately $32,792,000, $31,951,000 and $30,635,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Capital Leases

In August 2005 we used proceeds from our Senior Credit Facility to pay off our Satellite Transponder Capacity Capital Lease. Outstanding principal of $35.8 million was repaid and we incurred a $2.8 million charge due to the early termination of the capital lease which is classified as Loss on Early Extinguishment of Capital Lease during the year ended December 31, 2005 on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We entered into a long-term capital lease agreement in 1991 with the wife of our President and CEO for property occupied by us as further described in note 14.

On March 31, 2006, through our subsidiary GCI Communication Corp. we entered into an agreement to lease transponder capacity on Intelsat, Ltd.’s (“Intelsat”) Galaxy 18 spacecraft that is expected to be launched during 2007. We will also lease capacity on the Horizons 1 satellite, which is owned jointly by Intelsat and JSAT International, Inc. The leased capacity is expected to replace our existing transponder capacity on Intelsat’s Galaxy 10R satellite when it reaches its end of life.

Digital Local Phone Service (“DLPS”) Equipment Purchase Commitment

We have entered into an agreement to purchase a certain number of outdoor, network powered multi-media adapters and other vendor equipment. The agreement has a remaining outstanding commitment at December 31, 2006 of $5.1 million of which $1.5 million and $3.6 million are expected to be paid during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

Alaska Airlines, Inc. Miles Agreement

We have an agreement with Alaska Airlines to offer our consumer and commercial customers who make qualifying purchases from us the opportunity to accrue mileage awards in the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan. The agreement as amended requires the purchase of Alaska Airlines miles during the year ended December 31, 2006 and in future years. The agreement has a remaining commitment at December 31, 2006 totaling $6.2 million.

Deferred Compensation Plan

During 1995, we adopted a non-qualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan to provide a means by which certain employees may elect to defer receipt of designated percentages or amounts of their compensation and to provide a means for certain other deferrals of compensation. We may contribute matching deferrals at a rate selected by us. Participants immediately vest in all elective deferrals and all income and gain attributable thereto. Matching contributions and all income and gain attributable thereto vest over a six-year period. Participants may elect to be paid in either a single lump sum payment or annual installments over a period not to exceed 10 years. Vested balances are payable upon termination of employment, unforeseen emergencies, death and total disability. Participants are general creditors of us with respect to deferred compensation plan benefits. Compensation deferred pursuant to the plan totaled $3,000, $37,000 and $37,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Performance Based Incentive Compensation Plan

During 2003 we adopted and in 2005 we amended a non-qualified, performance based incentive compensation plan. The amended incentive compensation plan provides additional compensation to certain officers and key employees based upon the Company’s achievement of specified financial performance goals. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors establishes goals on which executive officers are compensated, and management establishes the goals for other covered employees. The amended incentive compensation plan goals were met as of December 31, 2005. All awards were paid during the year ended December 31, 2006, except 12,500 shares of GCI Class A common stock to be valued on March 31, 2007 and issued in 2007. Under this plan we recognized expenses of $0, $1.2 million and $673,000 during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Guaranteed Service Levels

Certain customers have guaranteed levels of service with varying terms. In the event we are unable to provide the minimum service levels we may incur penalties or issue credits to customers.

Self-Insurance

We are self-insured for losses and liabilities related primarily to health and welfare claims up to $150,000 per incident and $2.0 million per lifetime per beneficiary above which third party insurance applies. A reserve of $1.1 million was recorded at December 31, 2006 and 2005, to cover estimated reported losses, estimated unreported losses based on past experience modified for current trends, and estimated expenses for investigating and settling claims. We are self-insured for losses and liabilities related to workers’ compensation claims up to $500,000 above which third party insurance applies. A reserve of $487,000 and $119,000 was recorded at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, to cover estimated reported losses and estimated expenses for investigating and settling claims. Actual losses will vary from the recorded reserves. While we use what we believe is pertinent information and factors in determining the amount of reserves, future additions to the reserves may be necessary due to changes in the information and factors used.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

We are self-insured for damage or loss to certain of our transmission facilities, including our buried, under sea, and above-ground transmission lines. If we become subject to substantial uninsured liabilities due to damage or loss to such facilities, our financial position, results of operations or liquidity may be adversely affected.

Anchorage Unbundled Network Elements Arbitration

On June 25, 2004, the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (“RCA”) issued a comprehensive decision setting forth new rates for unbundled network elements (“UNE”), resale, and terms and conditions for interconnection in the Anchorage arbitration. Significantly, the RCA raised the loop rate in Anchorage to $19.15 but subsequently reduced the loop rate on reconsideration to $18.64. The RCA also issued other various arbitration rulings adverse to us, including adopting Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc.’s (“ACS”) non-recurring and collocation cost models. On December 7, 2004, the Commission issued a final order approving an interconnection agreement. We appealed various Commission arbitration rulings, and ACS cross-appealed concerning certain interim rate decisions.

We received a decision from the U.S. district court on November 21, 2006. The court affirmed the RCA’s decision in all respects, thus denying both our appeal on the final rate calculation and ACS’ cross-appeal on the interim rate calculation. The decision became final on December 21, 2006.

On September 30, 2005, the ACS subsidiary serving Anchorage filed a petition with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), seeking forbearance from the requirement that it provide access to UNEs, and that to the extent it voluntarily did so, that the pricing provisions of the Act would not apply. We filed our opposition on January 9, 2006 and our reply on February 23, 2006. On December 28, 2006, the FCC granted ACS the requested relief from the provision of unbundled loops and transport in five of its eleven tariffed wire centers. The relief is conditioned on the requirement that ACS make loops and certain subloops available in those wire centers where relief was granted, by no later than the transition period, at the same rates, terms and conditions as those negotiated between GCI and ACS for Fairbanks, until commercially negotiated rates are reached. A one-year transition period applies, until December 28, 2007, before the forbearance grant takes effect. The decision is not final and remains subject to FCC and court review; therefore, we cannot predict at this time the outcome of this proceeding or its impact on us; however, our net cost of providing local telephone services in Anchorage could be materially adversely affected by an adverse decision upon review.

Cable Service Rate Reregulation

Federal law permits regulation of basic cable programming services rates. However, Alaska law provides that cable television service is exempt from regulation by the RCA unless 25% of a system’s subscribers request such regulation by filing a petition with the RCA. At December 31, 2006, only the Juneau system is subject to RCA regulation of its basic service rates. No petition requesting regulation has been filed for any other system. (The Juneau system serves 7.2% of our total basic service subscribers at December 31, 2006.) A cable rate increase in the Juneau system effective March 1, 2007, was approved by the RCA.

Litigation and Disputes

We are routinely involved in various lawsuits, billing disputes, legal proceedings and regulatory matters that have arisen in the normal course of business.

Alaska DigiTel Investment

Effective January 1, 2007 we invested $29.5 million in Alaska DigiTel in exchange for an 81.9% equity interest. We do not have voting control of Alaska DigiTel. We funded the transaction from cash on hand and by drawing down $15.0 million under the revolving portion of our Senior Credit Facility. Additionally, we entered into a revolving credit loan agreement with Alaska DigiTel effective January 1, 2007. The loan agreement provides that Alaska DigiTel can draw, subject to certain restrictions and financial covenants, up to $15.0 million of which $7.0 million was drawn on January 1, 2007. We expect the remaining $8.0 million to be drawn during the year ended December 31, 2007.

¹Includes the correction of an immaterial error in the first quarter of 2006 related to the accounting for a non-employee share-based compensation award. During 2001 we issued a stock option award in association with a lease agreement. The lease agreement was later amended in 2002 to provide a cash settlement feature and we erroneously did not record this award at its fair value at each reporting period following such amendment. Upon implementation of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, we inappropriately recorded the $1,141,000 fair value of this award, which was reduced by income tax benefit of $469,000, as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The $1,141,000 should have been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and the $469,000 should have been recorded as a reduction to income tax expense. We corrected the error in a Form 10-Q/A filed for the period ending September 30, 2006. ²Includes the correction of immaterial errors in the second quarter of 2006 related to payroll tax and benefits expense on employee bonuses, a duplicate payment on an invoice, capitalization of payroll benefits, certain credits received from a other common carrier, and an error in our income tax provision. ³Includes the correction of immaterial errors in the third quarter of 2006 related to payroll tax and benefits expense on employee bonuses, a duplicate payment on an invoice, capitalization of payroll benefits, certain credits received from an other common carrier, over-billings of several of our common carrier customers, employee bonuses related to the over-billings, and an error in our income tax provision. ⁴Includes the reversing effects of immaterial error corrections made in the third quarter of 2006 related to over-billings of several of our common carrier customers and employee bonuses related to the over-billings.
