Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01  Other Events.

General Communication, Inc. ("Company"), a registrant under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 whose wholly held subsidiary GCI, Inc. is also a registrant under that act ("Subsidiary"), has had, and continues to have, a business relationship with Verizon Business Service ("Verizon").  This relationship is expressed in part through a Contract for Alaska Access Services ("Verizon Agreement") which has been amended numerous times by the parties.  Copies of the Verizon Agreement and those amendments have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") from time to time in the past in redacted form to exclude portions of the documents considered by the Company and the Subsidiary as in need of confidential treatment.  As a result of a recent review of the Verizon Agreement and those amendments, the Company and the Subsidiary have concluded that certain portions of those redactions in three of those documents ("Newly Unredacted Portions") are no longer in need of confidential treatment or have otherwise become public through other means.  At this time, the Company files this report with the Commission on Form 8-K ("Report") and the Subsidiary separately files a similar report with the Commission, including copies of these three documents with revised redactions where the redactions do not include those portions which the Company and the Subsidiary believe no longer are in need of confidential treatment as filings with the Commission.  That is, the documents display in unredacted form the Newly Unredacted Portions.

The three documents in question are the Verizon Amendment and the third and fourth amendments to it.
