RCN Corporation (NASDAQ: RCNI) announced today that with the 2010
FIFA World Cup™ now underway, it is kicking off a new sweepstakes
for its customers offering a chance to win an authentic jersey from
their favorite international soccer team. The company will also
provide text alerts with daily results and reminders for matches.
"As the worldwide popularity and excitement generated by this
classic soccer competition continues to explode, RCN is enhancing
its coverage of the games and spreading the spirit of the 2010 FIFA
World Cup by offering this sweepstakes opportunity to our
customers," said RCN's Senior Vice President of Marketing Mike
Roddy. "The promotion lets customers tell us their favorite soccer
team, and then they are entered to win an authentic jersey from
that team."
Customers can enter the sweepstakes online by going to
www.rcn.com/watchthecup. Entrants can pick from a list of teams and
indicate their preferred jersey size. There will be one winner
selected in each of RCN's markets: Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley,
Pa., New York City, Boston, Chicago and Washington, D.C. Winners
will be alerted by July 30.
RCN Corporation is a leading provider of all-digital and high
definition video, high-speed Internet, and premium voice services

high-capacity transport services to carrier and large enterprise

In addition to ESPN's exclusive English-language coverage and
Univision's exclusive Spanish-language coverage of the 2010 FIFA
World Cup, customers can watch all the action using RCN's
high-speed Internet to access online streaming of the games from
those networks.
"Since this global soccer competition only happens once every
four years, we share in the excitement and wanted to do something
special," Roddy explained. "So we created a campaign enabling
anyone to get mobile updates of the daily scores and match
highlights in English or Spanish. Fans can text the word 'CUP' to
receive English-language or 'MUNDIAL' for Spanish-language alerts
to 88228 and keep up with all the latest action from South Africa
