We provide leading integrated communications services in Alaska. Our wireline and wireless communications networks extend throughout Alaska and connect to the Lower 48 states via our two diverse undersea fiber optic cable systems.
Our wireline business comprises one of the most expansive networks in Alaska. Our wireless business includes a statewide third generation (“3G”) wireless network. Both segments rely on our highly skilled workforce of approximately 900 employees.
ACS was incorporated in 1998 under the laws of the State of Delaware. We began doing business as ACS in May 1999 following our acquisition of the Anchorage Telephone Utility and CenturyTel’s Alaska assets.
Our principal executive offices are located at 600 Telephone Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska 99503. Our telephone number is (907) 297-3000.
Business Segments
We have two reportable business segments, wireline and wireless, which conduct the following principal activities:
• Wireline: We provide communications services including voice, data, broadband, multi-protocol label switching (“MPLS”) services, network access, long distance and other services to consumers, carriers, businesses and enterprises and government customers throughout Alaska and to and from Alaska.
• Wireless: We provide wireless voice and data service and products and other value-added services and equipment sales across Alaska.
For a detailed review of our financial performance and results of operations by business segment, see Part II—Item 6—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”— and Note 17—“Business Segments of our Consolidated Financial Statements,” each of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Employees
As of January 31, 2010, we employed 875 regular full-time employees, 10 regular part time employees and 4 temporary employees. Approximately 74% of our employees are represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1547 (“IBEW”). Our Master Collective Bargaining Agreement with the IBEW, as amended, that governs the terms and conditions of employment for all IBEW represented employees working for us in the state of Alaska expired on December 31, 2009. In February 2010, the IBEW ratified a new three year contract expiring on December 31, 2012. Management considers employee relations to be good.
