GTL Trying to Cut Costs of Prison Calling

Global Tel*Link is trying, where possible, to cut the costs of prison calling and pass the savings along to incarcerated people and their families, CEO Deb Alderson told FCC Commissioners Brendan Carr and Nathan Simington and aides to the other commissioners. Alderson “has been sensitive to controlling costs, while also pressing for innovation,” said a filing posted Monday in docket 12-375. “GTL has made significant investment in research and development geared towards new technologies and infrastructure to provide secure communications and keep people connected while maintaining public safety.”
