It would offer Gigabit service in communities that today cannot access virtual meetings, online classes, telehealth, or online jobs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe four companies recognize that reliable, affordable, high-speed internet is the foundation for education, healthcare, economic growth, and quality of life. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of broadband and illuminated the growing digital divide. The Alaska FiberOptic Project will bridge that divide for many Alaska Natives.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe have met regularly, over the years, within our Region to understand the issues and explore solutions for lack of adequate broadband connectivity,\u201d said Aaron Schutt, president and CEO of Doyon, Limited. \u201cFiber-optic cable will provide the most reliable, affordable and fastest internet today and for the next generation. We intend to work collaboratively with other groups so Alaska\u2019s many broadband projects complement each other and work to serve as many people as possible.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cReliable, affordable, high-speed internet is a key to connecting our people to the world, preserving and advancing our culture, and offering opportunities for young people in our communities. In combination with other broadband projects in our region, the Alaska FiberOptic Project will create the foundation for many socio-economic improvements and opportunities in the region now and for decades to come,\u201d said Andrew Guy, president and CEO of Calista Corporation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cGana-A Yoo, Limited is excited to join its partners in making the Alaska FiberOptic Project a reality by creating a fiber backbone that will positively transform our region,\u201d said Dena Sommer-Pedebone, CEO of Gana-A \u2018Yoo, Limited.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are grateful to Doyon, Calista and Gana-A \u2018Yoo for their vision and dedication to serving their communities. We look forward to partnering with them on this project and expanding reliable, high-speed, affordable internet access in Alaska,\u201d said Bill Bishop, president and CEO of Alaska Communications.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe proposed Alaska FiberOptic Project would create a fiber optic network that starts at Fort Yukon, ends in Napakiak and connects to Alaska Communications core network in Fairbanks. The Alaska FiberOptic Project would also deploy fiber-to-the-home in each of the 23 communities served on the route.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nGrant applications were submitted to the NTIA Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program Sept. 1. NTIA expects to award grants by the end of 2021.
