COMPUSERVE LAUNCHES INTERNET-ONLY SERVICE CompuServe has started a new Internet-only service called Sprynet, offering unlimited access for a flat fee of $19.95 a month. At the same time, the company announced it initially would block Sprynet customers from access to more than 200 online forums where sex-related issues are discussed, becoming the first big Internet service provider to restrict that kind of information. Meanwhile, AOL's chairman announced America Online's Internet-only GNN business has attracted more than 100,000 customers in the past 90 days. (St. Petersburg Times 12 Feb 96 p9)
