Though this will change -- Jones Intercable (I think they're called Jones
Communications) will one day (yeah, I know, *when*?!) be offereing a
sweet-sounding phone+cable combination (I think there's Internet in them
thar hills too).  They've got two buildings supplied like this as testbeds
or whatever.

Of course, I'm not sure that I like getting phone service from the cable
company, but if the combination of cable+phone from Jones will be cheaper
than the combination of cables/Jones and phones/B.A. (and it will be,
according to the prices they're touting), then I'd buy it.  I (like
everyone else, methinks ;) would love to tell B.A. where to go. . . .
