Excuse me for asking, but given that so far you have only edited this one article and those edits have included adding information on the quality of their technology and services without citing a reliable source I am wondering if you are perhaps an employee of Alaska Communications? While single purpose accounts are not prohibited by our policies we are all expected not to edit in areas where we have an inherent conflict of interest. I've already modified some of the recently added content to make it better conform to the neutral point of view expected of an encyclopedia article. We should avoid any statement that suggests that they are superior to other telecom providers. This is not a forum for advertisement or promotion but rather for dispassionate recording of established,, verifiable fact. What this article really needs are more reliable sources on which new content can be based. You may know better than I what has been written in the press, (including telecom industry publications) or reported on TV about this company. If you can provide sources that discuss the company I'd be happy to use them as reference material for expanding the article. I live in Homer and they have re-branded the store here, so I can take a new photo of that. Alternately, if you are in or near their headquarters you could take a photo of that and upload it using the "Upload file" button in the toolbox at the left side of the page.
