This "embrace and extend" strategy was exactly what the city of Geneva, Illinois discovered when AT&T was preparing to bring "Project Lightspeed" (now called U-Verse) to town. Apart from the issue of the ugly boxes, Geneva already had a cable TV franchisee in town. They successfully fought AT&T off.
They also prepared a guide for other towns to use, which was a brilliant move IMO. It's a great read.
