Yes, but until any one cable company has coverage to every home in America, a call from NY to CA will most likly traverse another provider's network.
As for the lawsuit, isn't that the whole debate about the net neutrality issue? What is different from SBC trying to extort more money from Google for data passing over its lines than AT&T trying to extort more money from Comcast or RoadRunner for the same reason?
...but how long until the major phone companies (Bell-South, AT&T, etc) start to QoS the packets from competing cable ISPs to lower the quality compared to traditional land lines?

As opposed to your inherently clunky and inaccurate opposible digits with a 1/2 inch movement range to aim? I'll stick with my mouse... thanks
