1990 - 2006
Commonwealth Telephone Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Commonwealth
Telephone Enterprises, Incorporated. Commonwealth Telephone Enterprises, Inc.
was formerly named C-TEC Corporation before its corporate restructuring on
September 30, 1997. Commonwealth Telephone Company is an average schedule
incumbent local telephone company with one study area in Pennsylvania (CWTC).
Currently, Commonwealth Telephone Company is the only average schedule company
with annual operating revenues that exceed the indexed revenue threshold and
which is, therefore, required to file ARMIS data.
Average schedule companies are exchange carriers that participate in the
National Exchange Carrier Association, Inc.’s (NECA) access charge pools and
receive compensation for providing interstate access services on the basis of a
set of formulas administrated by NECA. Therefore, these companies are only able
to file the ARMIS 43-01, 43-02, and 43-08 Reports.
