Crossy~ That's interesting re cable vs. phone companies. It's true that cable companies clearly have the better wires, but, at least in the rural areas, which are extensive in USA, everywhere I look, the cable companies have their wires hanging from phone and electrical company infrastructure (poles). That will certainly cause future rights-of-way conflicts. To this point, phone companies haven't objected to a separate technology sharing their space (at a price, of course), but when the interloper becomes a competitor for phone service, that could be another story.

There are some pretty basic issues involved which have little to do with the underlying technology. Perhaps a similar solution would be appropriate as to how the major cable companies have swallowed their satellite dish competition. Maybe the phone and elec. companies will absorb the cable/satellite companies?

But who knows? Maybe World Com will succeed in owning it all. Let's just play the volatility....
