Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On September 12, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors of Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc. (the "Company") amended and restated the Company’s Bylaws (the "Bylaws") to add a new Section 7 to Article I of the Bylaws. As amended and restated, Article I, Section 7 of the Bylaws requires stockholders intending to make a director nomination or bring other business at an annual meeting of stockholders to have provided the Company advance written notice of such nominations or business. Article I, Section 7 (i) explicitly provides that the provisions of such section are the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit business, other than proposals governed by Rule 14a-8 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which provides its own procedural requirements) and (ii) sets forth the information required to be provided to the Company about the stockholder making a nomination or proposing business and the information required to be provided to the Company about any nominee for the Company’s Board of Directors made by such stockholder.

Other than the addition of Section 7 in Article I, no other amendments were made to the Bylaws.

The Bylaws as amended and restated are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
