GCI Automates Copyright Notification Processing

Alaska-based GCI has teamed with CSG to introduce an automated processing system that notifies subscribers of alleged copyright infringement complaints.  

CSG has partnered with Yaana, a provider of compliance solutions, on the copyright complaint system now in place at GCI that notifies and educates customers on alleged complaints and what measures they should take to rectify them.
