EDITED: D.E...all excellent questions that you pose. I'm still stuck on thoughts about "backdoor" income :) Media One, Baby Bells....hmmmmmmm.
"MEDIAONE® LAUNCHES CABLE TELEPHONY SERVICE
WITH TELLABS' CABLESPAN® SYSTEM
So, the question now is whether an AT&T acquisition of MediaOne will have any effect on this relationship. Will MediaOne's relationship with Tellabs help Tellab crack the T account? Will T's commitment to ANTC lock Tellabs out from MediaOne? Or (hopefully most likely?) will T deploy with two vendors of cable/telephony systems?

This part intrigued me when the news was released, and still does:
"MediaOne, the nation's leading Broadband services company, provides entertainment, information and communications services to more than 5.1 million customers in 17 states. MediaOne Group (NYSE:UMG), is one of America's leading broadband communications companies, bringing the power of broadband and the Internet to more than seven million customers in the United States, Europe and Asia.
