GST Telecommunications Inc. (Vancouver, WA) was awarded a $1.3 million contract to provide all local telephone services at Kirtland Air Force Base (Albuquerque, NM) through the year 2003. This follows on the heels of a similar contract at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside, CA. Under terms of the contract, GST will provide, install, and maintain all local telecommunications services, including 20,000 phone numbers, local trunks, local measured calling, point-to-point data services, and other requirements. GST expects to complete the transition from the incumbent local exchange carrier to its network this fall.
