RCN: Taking On Telecom Goliaths
Arshad Mohammed writes in The Washinton Post:
Peter D. Aquino's company is a dwarf in a land of cable TV and telephone giants, but the chief executive of RCN Corp. does not lack for confidence or aggressiveness.More here.
Posing atop a Hummer emblazoned with the company's blue, green and white logo, he joked: "We should put Verizon and Comcast... underneath the tires."
Crushing Verizon Communications Inc. and Comcast Corp. -- each of which is more than 30 times RCN's size -- is an unlikely outcome, industry analysts say. Just surviving as an alternative to the communications behemoths would make a success story of the Herndon-based company with a checkered past.
RCN hopes to beat the big cable and phone companies by exploiting its experience in giving customers a bundle of voice, video and high-speed Internet service -- a "triple play" that it has offered for years but that its competitors are only now rolling out on a large scale.
