There's no inductance contributed to the signal being carried, because
the magnetic field from the inner conductor is exactly cancelled by the
inductance of the current in the shield. Just like a bifilar winding on
a non-inductive wirewound resistor.
now, for the current on the *outside* of the coax, yep there's
inductance a-plenty.
