    Needs and Uses: The Cable Television Consumer Protection and

publish biennially a report on average rates for basic cable service,

prices charged by cable operators subject to effective competition and 
those that are not subject to effective competition. The Biennial Cable

that report. The data from these questions are needed to complete this 
report.
