COMMONWEALTH TELEPHONE ENTERPRISES INC /NEW/

Commonwealth Telephone Enterprises Inc /New/ steers a locally focused telephone communications operation rooted in the traditional SIC 4813 trunk lines and local exchange service model, offering residential and small business subscribers a blend of dial-tone access, custom calling plans, and modest data transport options to keep rural and suburban customers connected where larger carriers underinvest; CIK 310433. The company’s offering mixes legacy copper-based voice service with targeted value-added features, and it leans on a loyal regional customer base that prizes continuity and responsive field support. Regulation from the FCC and state public utility commissions constrains rate flexibility while mandating service quality benchmarks, presenting material risk alongside the broader industry shift to fiber and wireless substitutes, the capital demands of modernizing switching gear, and the lingering uncertainty of universal service funding. The latest disclosure, a Form 10-Q filed November 1999, underscores the company’s need to navigate these reforms while balancing investment with cash flow, so please view live SEC filings on Earnings Feed.
