Vlad, you noted, "I think that the cable/adsl battle is a side issue for RBOCs . . . Instead of going after cable business RBOCs might be better off going after wireless."
Bell Atl tried just that re: Air Touch. For me, voiceonthemove (via Bell Atl Mob) may be how I talk, but data likely will still be site specific (at my desk, kitchen table, in front of TV, in hotel room on the road) and over TTP. Is why I've sat patiently w/WSTL, waiting for the cost of BAM(nationwide, no roaming charge)+ADSL to be roughly equal to local+LD+ISP. If BEL offers voice&data at a price competitive to ATT/TCI voice&data, I'll stay with BEL because of the supposed decrease in cable speed as data-users are added. Note that not all of these parts are available yet as one package. It appears they will be sooner rather than later, which is another rationale I use to justify my WSTL patience.
