Application for a License to Land and Operate
a Private Fiber-Optic Submarine Cable System,

THE TERRA-ALEUTIAN CABLE SYSTEM



    AMENDED AND RESTATED APPLICATION FOR CABLE LANDING LICENSE—
                 STREAMLINED PROCESSING REQUESTED

       Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 34, Executive Order No. 10,530, and 47 C.F.R. § 1.767, GCI

Communication Corp. (“GCICC,” FRN 0001568880), hereby amends and restates its application

for a license to land and operate within the United States a private fiber-optic submarine cable

network connecting communities in Southwest Alaska and the Aleutian Islands that will be

known as the TERRA-Aleutian cable system.1 Specifically, GCICC amends its application to

update the route of TERRA-Aleutian, which will now connect Kodiak, Larsen Bay, Chignik,

Perryville, Sand Point, King Cove, Cold Bay, False Pass, Akutan, Dutch Harbor, and False Pass.2

As part of this amendment, GCICC also updates its indirect ownership information to reflect the

Commission-approved transfer of control and reorganization by which GCI Liberty, Inc. (“GCI

    Application”).

Liberty”) became GCICC’s ultimate parent.3 GCICC had already notified the Commission of

the updated ownership,4 but it includes the information in this amended and restated application

for the Commission’s convenience. GCICC’s amendment of this application has been delayed

by continuing uncertainties relating to rural healthcare funding, which is an important piece of

the business case on which TERRA-Aleutian will depend if it is to be built.

       TERRA is GCI’s next-generation hybrid fiber-optic and microwave network that

provides symmetrical broadband service to Alaska’s remote and rural regions. The TERRA-

Aleutian cable system will extend the TERRA network to remote Southwest Alaska and the

Aleutian Islands.

       GCICC will operate TERRA-Aleutian on a non-common-carrier basis, by providing bulk

capacity to wholesale and enterprise customers on particularized terms and conditions pursuant

to individualized negotiations. GCICC intends to commence commercial operation of TERRA-

Aleutian in the first calendar quarter of 2020. GCICC therefore seeks timely grant of a cable

landing license by the Commission no later than May 2019 in order to permit construction

activities to proceed on schedule.

       A grant of this application will advance the public interest. At present, most of the

communities to be connected by TERRA-Aleutian—including Dutch Harbor, the largest U.S.

fishing port by volume—rely solely on satellite links, which suffer from propagation delays and

capacity constraints. TERRA-Aleutian will allow customers to use a state-of-the-art system and

provide much-needed capacity and redundancy in Southwest Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.

                                                4


         E.     Landing Points9

         The Applicant provides specific landing point information (including geographic

coordinates for beach manholes and cable landing stations) in the following appendices:

        Appendix 2: Akutan

        Appendix 3: Dutch Harbor

        Appendix 4: False Pass

        Appendix 5: King Cove

        Appendix 6: Cold Bay

        Appendix 7: Sand Point

        Appendix 8: Perryville

        Appendix 9: Chignik Bay

        Appendix 10: Chignik Lagoon

        Appendix 11: Chignik Lake

        Appendix 12: Larsen Bay

        Appendix 13: Kodiak

         F.     Regulatory Classification10

         GCICC will operate TERRA-Aleutian on a non-common-carrier basis. Non-common-

carrier classification of the proposed system is consistent with established Commission policy

and precedent and with judicial precedent, and it will advance the public interest.

         First, the Commission should not subject TERRA-Aleutian to common-carrier regulation

because TERRA-Aleutian will not operate on a common-carrier basis as defined in NARUC I.11


9
     See id. § 1.767(a)(5).
10
     See id. § 1.767(a)(6).


                                                 5


The courts have stated that “the primary sine qua non of common carrier status is a quasi-public

character, which arises out of the undertaking ‘to carry for all people indifferently.’”12 On

TERRA-Aleutian, however, GCICC will not sell capacity indifferently to the user public.

Instead, GCICC will: (a) use TERRA-Aleutian capacity as an input for other services offered to

retail, enterprise, and government customers in Alaska, and (b) sell bulk capacity to particular

carrier, enterprise, and government customers pursuant to individually-negotiated indefeasible

rights of use (“IRUs”) and capacity leases, the terms of which will vary depending on the

characteristics and needs of the particular capacity purchaser. The Commission has consistently

found that such offerings do not make an applicant a common carrier.13

        Second, the Commission should not subject TERRA-Aleutian to common-carrier

regulation because there is no legal compulsion or other public-interest reason for GCICC to

operate TERRA-Aleutian in such a manner. Under the NARUC I test, the Commission must

     nature of [the] operations to expect an indifferent holding out to the eligible user public”),

     (D.C. Cir. 1999) (affirming FCC’s use of NARUC I test for distinguishing common-carrier
     and private-carrier services following enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996).

     China-U.S. Cable Network would not constitute the effective provision of a service to the
     public so as to make the applicant a common carrier); AT&T Submarine Systems, Inc., Cable
     Landing License, 11 FCC Rcd. 14,885, 14,904 ¶ 64 (Int’l Bur. 1996) (“St. Thomas-St. Croix
     Cable Order”) (finding that an “offer of access, nondiscriminatory terms and conditions and
     market pricing of IRUs does not rise to the level of an ‘indiscriminate’ offering” so as to
     constitute common carriage), aff’d 13 FCC Rcd. 21,585 (1998), aff’d sub nom. Virgin Islands
     Telephone Corp. v. FCC, 198 F.3d 921 (D.C. Cir. 1999).

determine whether the public interest requires common-carrier operation of the cable system.14

Traditionally, the Commission has “focused on whether the applicant has sufficient market

power to warrant common carrier regulation,”15 although the Commission “[is] not limited to

that reasoning” and has looked more broadly to determine whether common-carrier licensing is

in the public interest.16 TERRA-Aleutian poses no such competitive or other public-interest

concerns.

        On routes served by TERRA-Aleutian, GCICC will compete vigorously with existing

providers’ facilities, including existing satellite service providers: Alaska Communications

Systems Group, Inc. (“ACS”), TelAlaska, Bristol Bay Telecom, AT&T, DSL, and HughesNet.17

The Commission has previously found the existence of intermodal competition sufficient to

justify non-common carrier status for a submarine cable system18 and that facilities need not be

     GCI will also continue operation of its satellite earth station facilities in these local markets.

identical in order to offer pro-competitive benefits.19 More broadly, GCICC and its affiliates will

continue to compete vigorously with the incumbent, ACS, in the intra-Alaska and Alaska-Lower

48 markets. ACS’s Alaska Northstar and AKORN systems connect Alaska with Oregon.

        G.      Cable Ownership Information20

        GCICC will own and operate the whole of TERRA-Aleutian, including the wet links and

cable landing facilities for all twelve landings in Alaska.

         K.      Certification Regarding Destination Countries26

         By the signature below, GCICC certifies to the following: (1) it is not a foreign carrier in

any foreign country, much less a foreign destination market for TERRA-Aleutian (of which there

is none, as it is a U.S. domestic system); (2) it does not control a foreign carrier in any foreign

country where TERRA-Aleutian will land (of which there is none); (3) no entity that owns more

than 25 percent of GCICC, or that controls GCICC, controls a foreign carrier in any foreign

country where TERRA-Aleutian will land (of which there is none); and (4) no grouping of two

or more foreign carriers (or parties that control foreign carriers in any of the foreign coutnries

where TERRA-Aleutian will land, as there are no such countries) owns, in aggregate, more than

25 percent of GCICC and are parties to, or beneficiaries of, a contractual relation affecting the

provision or marketing of arrangements for the terms of acquisition, sale, lease, transfer, and use

of capacity TERRA-Aleutian in the United States.

         L.      Certification Regarding WTO Status and Affiliations with Foreign Carriers
                 Having Market Power in Foreign Destination Markets27

         No response is required, as no country was identified in response to 47 C.F.R.

§ 1.767(a)(8)(iii).

         M.      Certifications Regarding Routine Conditions28

         By its signature below, GCICC certifies that it accepts and will abide by the routine

conditions specified in 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(g).

         N.      Streamlining—Market Power29

         GCICC requests streamlined processing pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 1.767(k)(1). GCICC is

not, and is not affiliated with, a foreign carrier owning or controlling a cable landing station in

any foreign country in which TERRA-Aleutian will land (of which there are none, as TERRA-

Aleutian is a U.S. domestic system). This application raises no other foreign ownership,

competition, or public interest concerns that would merit consideration outside the Commission’s

streamlined review process.

         O.      Streamlining—CZMA30

         By its signature below, GCICC certifies that it is not required to submit a consistency

certification to any state or territory pursuant to Section 1456(c)(3)(A) of the Coastal Zone

Management Act, codified at 16 U.S.C. § 1456(c)(3)(A). Alaska—the only state in which

TERRA-Aleutian will land—does not list a cable landing license as a federal activity requiring a

consistency certification. To the contrary, Alaska withdrew from the National Coastal Zone

Management Program effective July 1, 2011.31

         P.      Certification Regarding Service to Executive Branch Agencies32

         The Applicant has sent a complete copy of this application to the U.S. Departments of

State, Commerce, and Defense. The Applicant’s counsel has certified such service in the

certificate of service attached to this application.

                                       CONCLUSION

       For the foregoing reasons, the Commission should expeditiously grant this cable landing

license application for the TERRA-Aleutian cable system pursuant to streamlined processing.

                                            Respectfully submitted,
