...look now, but after shocking the airline and telecommunications industries, competition is about to jolt your sleepy electric company. Just ask Malcolm Buck, a software-support rep whose apartment in suburban Atlanta is wired for phone service, cable TV, high-speed Internet access, and security- and energy-management systems--all flowing through a single cable installed by the Southern Co., his local utility.
