RCN provides cable, voice and Internet service in the Washington area as well as Chicago, Boston, New York and suburban Philadelphia. As part of its "analog crush," the company formerly called Starpower is moving its customers from analog to digital signals to increase channel offerings. With substantially fewer customers than Comcast, its goal is to offer more digital TV channels than Comcast or Verizon.
