PLAINS TWP., Jan 08, 2011 (The Times Leader - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- For half a century, Service Electric Cable has been the sole cable service provider for residents in Wilkes-Barre.

That could soon change.

RCN Telecom Services LLC , the company that could soon offer competition to Service Electric, is also looking to add up to 85 positions at its existing local call center this year and will hold an employment open house next week to interview potential employees.

RCN is in the process of installing cable lines in South Wilkes-Barre and has city authorization to offer cable services for the next decade.
