Publish Yourself on the WEB
Yep. You can probably do that now for free. If you're a
CompuServe, AOL, or Prodigy member, you have 1-2Mb of disk space
waiting for you on their computers to store your very own WEB
page. As soon as you assemble your creation, it's instantly
available for users the world over to view! Some, America on-line
News lets you build your page quickly on-line. CompuServe
offers a downloadable file of their Home Page Wizard so you can
take your time building and testing it off-line before you go
live on the WWW.
CompuServe Launches Royalty-Free Photo Library
A recent press release by CompuServe/UK announced the
availability of thousands of high-resolution, royalty-free images
for use by small businesses, communications professionals and web
designers worldwide from their Picture Gallery (GO PICTURE)
forum. These images are available as low-resolution thumbnails
for browsing and high-resolution, 24-bit (2100dpi), razor-sharp
images to download and use privately or commercially. Four
high-resolution images can be downloaded in about an hour.
Naturally, the hundreds of PhotoForum and PhotoPro members on CIS
are very concerned. We may not have heard the last of this.If It
Sounds Too Good to Be True...Now that all the major Internet
Access Providers have pretty much standardized on a flat-rate
plan of about $20/month, there are rumblings from the grapevine
that twenty bucks a month is not profitable for them! Although
over 80% of users are on-line less than a few hours a month,
look for price increases the first half of this year, or at least
a tiered pricing structure (you know, like we had in the
beginning...). Hmm. We've almost come full circle, wouldn't you
say?
Federal Communication Commission Nixes Access Fee
More tariffs? Are they coming? The FCC tentatively decided NOT to
impose access fees on Internet Service Providers for use of local
telephone lines. Whew! At least for now. They did issue a
"notice of inquiry," which seeks comment on the plan,
so the issue's not dead yet, just in stasis.
