GCI Public Notices

CHANGES EFFECTIVE:  July 20, 2018 

On July 17, 2018, GCI filed TA38-156 with the RCA.  The effective date of this tariff is July 20, 2018

In TA 38-156, GCI Cable Inc. (“GCIC”) is requesting to withdraw the cover sheet and page 50 of its tariff APUC/RCA No. 1., pursuant to the Federal Communications Commission’s Report and Order, In the Matter of the Amendment to the Commission’s Rules Concerning Effective Competition, MB Docket No. 15-53, FCC 15-62 (adopted June 2, 2015; released June 3, 2015) (“Effective Competition Report and Order”). See APUC Order Accepting Stipulation, Subject to Interpretation, U-90-34(11), Appendix, page 6, fn. 3.[1]  The withdrawal will have no immediate impact as to the approximately 269 basic customers in Juneau.

 
This TA request is in conjunction with GCIC’s withdrawal of the balance of its tariff, APUC/RCA No. 1, consisting of pages 1-49, known as the ‘informational portions’ of such tariff, effective July 20, 2018, pursuant to this notice, APUC Order U-90-34(11) and the FCC’s Effective Competition Report and Order. 
 
GCIC, pursuant to 3 AAC 48.270(6) and 3 AAC 48.300, is requesting July 20, 2018 as the effective date of the withdrawal of the cover sheet and page 50, to coincide with the withdrawal of the informational portions of the tariff, noticed above.  The withdrawals are in effect a mirror image analogy to the situation presented by 3 AAC 48.300(c)(1), whereby the rate regulation of GCIC as a cable television provider has been exempted from, rather than brought under, rate “regulation by operation of law.”  Further, as stated above, this tariff withdrawal will have no impact as to existing customers.
In the future, GCIC will harmonize the Juneau basic services regime, including any changes in rates, terms, or services, with that utilized by GCIC for similar markets throughout the State, with requisite notice pursuant to Federal law and regulation.
