Frank, as to what future technology MSOs will use in 2010, I have to investigate. But technology will evolve with cable. Cable in the future will be thinner than a phone line, yet carrying bandwidth up to 100Mbps. The future cable will not base on coaxial HFC hardware.
HFC will only be a interium medium. But the important point is, the current phone line will become obsolete, as well as the business of the RBOCs. Just like circuit switch networks to be replaced by packet switched networks, phone lines will be replaced by cable lines. The current HFC cables will last till 2005, after that, AT&T will upgrade it to a thin fiber based wire which preludes a pure fiber optic era.

In 2010, the competing technologies will be: Cable vs. Low orbit satellites. Probably you have to find DSL in the San Jose Musuem of Technology.
