“With our wireless footprint and our improved technology, we have seen a real pick-up in terms of the rate of growth. The Alaskan market’s wireless penetration rate is now about 53% and is growing at a faster rate than the market in the lower 48 states. While we clearly benefit from a rapidly growing market, we have also been very successful in taking share away from others. We grew our post paid wireless subscribers by 28% last year, a far higher rate of growth than the Alaskan wireless market, which grew by approximately 13%. The difference in growth rates is reflective of taking market share; we believe we operate the most robust network in the state, and customers who care about the quality of service, tend to gravitate toward the best network.” - David Wilson
