RCN, the cable internet provider will be closing its site on February 24. Visitors from there on will be directed to the information site, surprisingly enough RCN hasn’t facilitated its users with an alternate start page, something they should have instead of just bowing out from providing world news. The email to their customers was just a note to let them know that they must wave the service goodbye:

We’re stepping away from providing a destination for world news and entertainment in order to focus on what you really need to easily manage your RCN account. True, you’ll have to look elsewhere for the latest Britney Spears news, but you’ll be the first to know about new customer offers and promotions and upcoming TV programming events.
