Can you express your view on the subject and/or give some online 
pointers?

In particular, I plan to put an Ethernet cable between 2 apartments 
such that it will path in parallel to the cable TV outside of the 
building. There fore, in addition to possible cross talk with the cable 
TV, what about the danger of a lightning hitting the cable?

Suppose I will put a shielded cable and have it go to a wall outlet. 
Having it tied to the electricity ground (green/yellow wire) is a major 
pain, which is why I plan to have it connected to the computer chassis 
by a shielded Ethernet cable _only_ when a PC is actually connected to 
this wall outlet. Is this a good policy as far as a lightnings are 
concerned?
Can one claim that the twisted pair structure of an Ethernet cable and 
the cable TV itself being shielded is an adequate protection against 
cross talk between the cable TV and the Ethernet cable?

As far as I can tell the phone (Bezeq) lines that are going from each 
apartment to the building's central phone box are unshielded even with 
old building where Bezeq needs to have them path on the outer walls of 
the building. Am I right about these cables being unshielded? If yes, 
what about protecting the phone equipment from lightnings?
