ABOUT ASTAC

Arctic Slope Telephone Association Cooperative (ASTAC) is a member-owned
telephone utility Cooperative providing telecommunications services to the
residents of the North Slope region of Alaska. The Cooperative’s designated
service area is a roadless, remote arctic area of more than 90,000 square miles
which is larger than 40 of the 50 states. Prior to having local phone service
each village was served by only one pay phone. Residents stood in line,
sometimes for hours in inclement weather, waiting their turn to use the pay
phone.

The Cooperative utility consists of more than 3,500 access lines served by nine
central offices located in eight of the region’s traditional villages and at the
petroleum industry exploration and production complex at Deadhorse-Prudhoe Bay.
ASTAC currently employs approximately 74 employees.

The Cooperative was brought into existence in 1977 when Arctic Slope residents
determined that the continued development of their traditional communities; the
business success of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA)
corporations; the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC) and the eight Village
Corporations; and the delivery of public services by the North Slope Borough
(NSB) home-rule municipality, were all dependent on the availability of, at
least, basic telephone service.

Construction started in 1979 and by 1981, ASTAC was providing digital switching
in seven Inupiat communities and the oilfields of Prudhoe Bay. With the purchase
of GTE in 2000, Utqiaġvik was added to the network and ASTAC has since invested
millions of dollars to upgrade facilities there.
