“Our industry mourns the terrible loss of family, colleagues and friends. Senator Stevens was a good friend, whose stewardship of telecommunications and technology policy during his service on the Senate Commerce Committee left an enduring imprint on a major sector of our economy marked by unprecedented investment, innovation and growth. From war hero to his work as an unparalleled legislator, his legacy extends far beyond Alaska and we are grateful and honored to have worked with and to know him. Dana Tindall was an extremely talented executive who helped GCI become a major force in Alaskan telecommunications. She dedicated 24 years of her career to GCI and both she and her daughter Corey will be dearly missed by friends and colleagues. Bill Phillips was more than a consultant and colleague. He was a trusted confidant and close friend to many of us at NCTA and throughout the cable industry. We will miss all of them. Our thoughts and prayers are with the survivors of this tragedy, the Stevens, Tindall, and Phillips families and our colleagues at GCI.”
