PETER D. AQUINO - CHIEF EXECUTIVE, RCN CORP. | ON THE HOT SEAT

March 20, 2005

Peter D. Aquino took over in late December as chief executive of
telecommunications upstart RCN Corp., which provides cable television,
Internet, and phone service in parts of the Boston region and six
other US metropolitan areas. RCN had just emerged from a $2 billion,
eight-month bankruptcy reorganization, and within days giant Verizon
Communications Inc. -- taking dead aim at RCN and Comcast Corp. --
unveiled plans to build a powerful new fiber-optic network that can
deliver cable TV in the Boston area. Aquino, 43, a former Bell
Atlantic executive and broadband entrepreneur in Venezuela, spoke with
Globe reporter Peter J. Howe.
