SONNY, I like having David Kendall on our side!...... David E. Kendall and Brett M. Kavanaugh, are but one example of the unusual alliances being forged in the dispute over which companies will end up dominating high-speed Internet service delivered through cable systems. Kendall, representing America Online, and Kavanaugh, whose firm represents G.T.E., are among a legion of advisers who are quickly finding business in the dispute, which has turned into the latest full employment act for lawyers and lobbyists here and in many cities around the nation. Their common adversary in the fight is AT&T, which is rapidly acquiring cable systems and offers high-speed Internet access over those lines exclusively through a company, Excite@Home, in which it owns a major stake. Led by America Online and G.T.E., a coalition of Internet service providers and other telephone companies have mounted a nationwide campaign to force AT&T to let cable customers use Internet providers other than Excite@Home without additional fees.
