Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D on the Common
Stock of Commonwealth Telephone Enterprises, Inc. (the "Issuer")
is being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule
13D, as amended (the "Schedule 13D") which was originally filed
on October 26, 1998. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized
terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same
meaning as set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli
("Mario Gabelli"), Marc J. Gabelli ("Marc Gabelli") and various
entities which either one directly or indirectly controls or for
which either one acts as chief investment officer. These
entities, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker
Industries, Incorporated ("Spinnaker"), Western New Mexico
Telephone Company ("Western New Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc.
("Entoleter"), Lynch Telecommunications Corporation ("Lynch
Telecom"), Lynch Telephone Corporation ("Lynch Telephone") and
Inter-Community Telephone Company ("Inter-Community")
(collectively, "Lynch and its affiliates"), engage in various
aspects of the securities business, primarily as investment
adviser to various institutional and individual clients, includ-
ing registered investment companies and pension plans, as
broker/dealer and as general partner of various private invest-
ment partnerships. Certain of these entities may also make
investments for their own accounts.
The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own
beneficially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a
particular issuer. Although several of the foregoing persons are
treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting
their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the
holdings of those who do not qualify as institutional investors
may exceed the 1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G
or implementation of their investment philosophy may from time to
time require action which could be viewed as not completely
passive. In order to avoid any question as to whether their
beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form and in
order to provide greater investment flexibility and administra-
tive uniformity, these persons have decided to file their benefi-
cial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form
rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide
more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.
(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one
or more of the following persons: Gabelli Funds, Inc. ("GFI"),
GAMCO Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO"), Gabelli Securities, Inc.

Performance Partnership L.P. ("GPP"), GLI, Inc. ("GLI"), Gabelli
Associates Fund ("Gabelli Associates"), Gabelli Associates
Limited ("GAL"), Gabelli & Company, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the
"Plan"), Gabelli International Limited ("GIL"), Gabelli Interna-
tional II Limited ("GIL II"), Gabelli International Gold Fund
Limited ("GIGFL"), ALCE Partners, L.P. ("ALCE"), Gabelli
Multimedia Partners, L.P. ("Multimedia Partners"), MJG
Associates, Inc. ("MJG Assocciates"), Gemini Capital Management
Ltd. ("Gemini"), Gabelli Fund, LDC ("LDC"), Gabelli Foundation,

(d) and (e) - On December 8, 1994, the SEC instituted
and simultaneously accepted offers for the settlement of an
administrative proceeding against Gabelli & Company and GAMCO.
The order instituting the proceeding included a finding, which
Gabelli & Company and GAMCO neither admitted nor denied, that
they failed to implement and maintain policies and procedures
reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic
information by not specifically addressing the special
circumstances that arose from their affiliation with Lynch
Corporation, a public company. To resolve this matter, Gabelli &
Company and GAMCO agreed to cease and desist from violating
Section 15(f) of the 1934 Act and Section 204A of the Advisers
Act, respectively. They further agreed to each pay a civil
penalty in the amount of $50,000, and to retain, and adopt the
recommendations of, an independant consultant regarding their
Section 15(f) and Section 204A policies and procedures.
(f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto.

additional Securities for such clients. Gabelli Associates used
