GCI LIBERTY, INC. Transferee Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of GENERAL COMMUNICATION, INC., File No. ITC-T/C-2017-____________ Transferor, WC Docket No. 17-____ GCI LIBERTY, INC. Transferee, Applications for Consent to Transfer Control of International and Domestic Section 214 Authority CONSOLIDATED APPLICATION FOR CONSENT TO TRANSFER OF CONTROL OF INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC SECTION 214 AUTHORITY Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 214 and 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.04, 63.18 and 63.24, General Communication, Inc. (“GCI”) and GCI Liberty, Inc. (“GCI Liberty”) (together with GCI, the “Applicants”) apply for Commission consent to transfer control of international and domestic Section 214 authority held by wholly-owned subsidiaries of GCI. GCI, Liberty Interactive Corporation (“LIC”), and their affiliates have entered into agreements pursuant to which GCI’s operating businesses will be combined with certain businesses and assets attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group of LIC under a new holding company, GCI Liberty (the “Proposed Transaction”). GCI’s operating companies will comprise the primary operating subsidiaries of GCI Liberty, will continue to operate under the GCI brand, and will maintain current management and headquarters in Anchorage, Alaska. Consummation of the Proposed Transaction will serve the public interest by providing GCI’s operating businesses with more stable access to financial markets and greater capacity to execute on GCI’s current business plan. It will reduce the exposure of those businesses to Alaska-specific market fluctuations and diversify the overall enterprise beyond Alaska, with GCI Liberty being a substantially larger and more diverse company than GCI is today. The Proposed Transaction raises no public interest concerns that would warrant an extended review or transaction-specific conditions for consent. Moreover, the Proposed Transaction would create no new combinations that would adversely affect competition in any geographic market. GCI Liberty will be U.S.-owned and controlled and will not have any 10- percent-or-greater direct or indirect foreign owners. This narrative provides the information required by Sections 63.04 and 63.18 of the Commission’s rules. In addition, the Exhibit provides a statement describing the parties, the Proposed Transaction, and the public interest benefits of the Proposed Transaction. I. RESPONSE TO ITEMS ON IBFS ELECTRONIC FORM: INFORMATION REQUIRED BY 47 C.F.R. § 63.18 GCI is a holding company that has a number of wholly-owned subsidiaries that provide communications services and hold FCC authorizations.

Neither Mr. Duncan nor Mr. Fisher is an officer or director in an authorized U.S. international carrier or for any foreign carrier.

  • Consumer Technology June 14, 2018 Industry Update
    Consumer Technology June 14, 2018 Industry Update Prices: 6/13/2018 Brand Amazon - Implications of Company's Private-Label Efforts Industry: To analyze Amazon’s private label efforts, we reviewed where its items ranked in product searches Consumer Technology as a means of gauging their sales. Of the 100 items we analyzed, 24% were ranked first, 56% were in the top 10%, 65% were in the top 20, and 35% were outside the top 20. While encouraged by Tom Forte, CFA the results, we consider Amazon to be in the early innings of its private label efforts, with significant 212-223-5364 opportunities to expand into more products and categories. [email protected] While gathering data, we noticed the increasing prevalence of Amazon’s advertising efforts. Ninety four of the 100 product searches had advertisements. We believe Amazon’s private-label efforts are important to the company for several reasons: • SALES IMPLICATIONS: First, when considering the impact of its private-label sales efforts in a vacuum, we project Amazon has greater than a 25% chance of increasing our near-term sales CAGR by 100 basis points from its private-label efforts. A 100 basis points increase would raise our 2020 forecast to $348.6B from $340.3B for a delta of $8.3B.
