GCI President and Chief Operating Officer Greg Chapados mingles with community members at the Community Summer BBQ in Bethel featuring a free Pamyua Concert and giveaways and prizes on August 1st, 2024. The event was a celebration of the Airraq Project, a partnership between GCI and Bethel Native Corporation that will deliver high-speed internet to Bethel, Alaska, and 12 other communities in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. Once complete, the AIRRAQ Network will bring digital equity to 11,800 Alaskans living in the traditional home of the Yup’ik people. The project is funded by three federal grants and will bring fast, affordable, unlimited internet plans to consumers in the Y-K Delta region.
