A group of managers and supervisors from Commonwealth Telephone Company recently
completed a series of five one-day on-site Management Development workshops. The program
was specifically tailored by the Management Development Service of Penn State Wilkes-Barre to
maximize the managerial abilities within Commonwealth Telephone by assessing the specific
needs of personnel prior to designing the training program. Michael P. Sawczuk, instructor in
management development at Penn State, conducted the workshops. Since joining the Penn State
faculty in 1982, Mr. Sawczuk has conducted custom-designed management development
program for numerous organizations and including NPW . Medical Center, Taylor Packing
Company, Butter Krust Bakery, Pocono Hospital, Schott Optical Company, Penn State, Boscov's
and Mideast Aluminum Industries. Shown here are those who attended the course. From left

Commonwealth manager outlines new developments
“The important thing now is that
all of us understand the changes
and use time to the best advantage
we can,” advised Richard R. Snop-
kowski, Dallas District Manager for
Commonwealth Telephone Com-
pany, in describing current, fast-
moving developments in the tele-
phone industry.
Snopkowski spoke to the Dallas
Senior Citizens recently at College
Misericordia and said that tele-
phone users are seeing changes in
the kinds of telephone services
available, the ways these services
are delivered and billed and tele-
phone rates.
These significant changes are
under way because of new technol-
ogy, competition fostered by the
Federal Communications Commis-
sion and inflation, Snopkowski said.
Since 1968 customers have been
permitted to buy their own tele-
phones and related equipment, and
since 1971 other companies have
been authorized to offer long-dis-
tance service in competition with
the telephone company. Both types
of competition have been increas-
ing.
The traditional monthly telephone
‘package’ of services - a company-
provided telephone, unlimited local
calls, maintenance and other serv-
ices - has changed and will continue
to change, Snopkowski explained.
Many customers now buy their
own telephones and so become
responsible for maintenance of their
equipment. They then pay for the
individual services they receive
from the telphone company.
Federal Communications Com-
mission mandated competition “in
the long-distance market will
produce higher rates for local serv-
ice, the telephone company man-
ager explained. Ever since 1934,
when the telephone industry came
under federal regulations, local
service has been underpriced by 25-
35 percent, with long-distance reve-
nues making up the difference.
This underpricing of local service
must now end, because competition
means that long-distance rates must
be competitive. As a result, the
subsidy of local service rates must
end.
Commonwealth has also filed a
request with the Pennsylvania
Public Utility Commission to insti-
tute a concept known as Local
Measured Service (LMS) for the
Dallas exchange.
