Bell Atlantic and US West are building separate electronic highways, for example, even as the two firms are allied in a project to provide wireless phone service. Time Warner and TCI are archrivals, yet they have teamed with Sega of America to form the Sega Channel, which could go out over the companies’ superhighways. Entanglements like these have given rise to a new term : coopetition.
