Abstract	Excerpts are presented from comments made by the participants at a seminar held to discuss the Report of the Cabinet Committee on Cable Communications. The report was considered in the following three lights: 1) as a political document which seeks to strike a balance of interests to permit cable television (CATV) to survive in a system heavily determined by legislative and regulatory decisions; 2) as an economic document designed to stimulate interest in an industry requiring heavy capital outlays; and 3) as a visionary document which excites the public's imagination and attracts new entrepreneurs. The comments are clustered around the following foci: 1) an overall assessment of the report; 2) the separation of cable ownership from program control; 3) the regulation of CATV; 4) economic incentives; 5) programing; and 6) steps to be taken. A list of conference participants is appended. (PB)
