...Senator, Vice President Al Gore was quoted comparing Malone to Darth Vader.) But Malone's chief reason for merging may have been the simple realization that Bell Atlantic has the financial clout to help him build his cherished superhighway. For all of TCI's vaunted size, a fellow cable operator noted before the deal, ''John's still not half as big as any of the regional Bell companies.'' So deep are Bell Atlantic's pockets that it announced a $1.04 billion investment in Grupo Iusacell, a Mexican cellular- phone company, the day before unveiling its plans...
