LOWER PRICING FOR EXTENDED SERVICES

  Starting 6-Feb, CompuServe members billed under the Standard Pricing Plan
will pay lower rates for access to extended (hourly priced) services. The new
rates for CompuServe's extended services will be $4.80 per hour for access at
300, 1,200 and 2,400 bps, and $9.60 per hour for access at 9,600 and 14,400
bps. This pricing change reflects up to a 40 percent reduction from previous
rates for extended-service products. Communications network and
product-specific surcharges still apply.

  The monthly basic services rate of $8.95, which provides access to more than
50 product areas, remains unchanged, as do rates for CompuServe members billed
under the Alternative ("pay-as-you-go") Pricing Plan.

  Through this pricing reduction, CompuServe is passing along cost savings
realized by the use of advanced technology and "commodity"-priced hardware in
its host computer systems.

Plans, to check your current billing option or to change from one billing
option to the other, GO CHOICE.
