FCC Doesn't Reduce GCI's $20,000 Fine for Failing to Keep Antenna Structure Lit

The FCC Enforcement Bureau refused to reduce or cancel a $20,000 penalty for General Communication Inc. (GCI) for failing to keep an antenna structure properly lit in Fairbanks, Alaska, the bureau said in a forfeiture order Wednesday. The bureau fined GCI for failing to monitor the obstruction lighting, maintain a functioning alarm system and notify the Federal Aviation Administration of the light outage, in violation of the rules, it said. GCI didn’t comment.
