Item 1.01         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 23, 2007, ACS Cable Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc., entered into a definitive Supply
Agreement with Tyco Telecommunications, a business unit of Tyco Electronics
("Tyco"), to construct a long haul fiber facility that connects Alaska and the
Pacific Northwest.

The fiber facility, which is comprised of both terrestrial and undersea
elements, will originate in Anchorage, Alaska and terminate in Florence, Oregon.
Connectivity between Anchorage and Homer, Alaska will be provided by diverse
terrestrial routes plus an undersea interlink in Alaska's Cook Inlet from
Anchorage to Nikiski. The major undersea portion of the system will be comprised
of a 4 fiber pair system connecting Homer, Alaska, with the mid-coastal Oregon
town of Florence. The cable is designed for a life of 25 years. The date for
provisional delivery of the fiber facility by Tyco under the agreement is
December 31, 2008. We believe the fiber facility will be commercially available
in early 2009.

We estimate the total cost of the system, including the undersea portions of the
project and the complementary terrestrial system work to be approximately $95
million, $85.8 of which is payable directly to Tyco under the Supply Agreement.
