Tele-Communications, Inc. (the "Company") has determined to register the
transaction contemplated by the aforementioned post-effective amendment by
filing a new registration statement on Form S-3. Consequently, the Company
requests that the Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-3 to the
above-referenced registration statement be withdrawn.
Very truly yours,
