CompuServe - snizeni cen

[Antonin Novotny]

Kolegove,
   domnivam se, ze ohlasene vyrazne snizeni sazeb CompuServu je predevsim
dusledkem konkurencniho prostredi (Internet, America On Line, ..).
V Evrope dochazi k uplnemu zruseni komunikacnich poplatku za pripojeni
ke komunikacnimu uzlu. Ucastnici z Vidne, Mnichova i Budapesti se budou
pripojovat za mistni hovorne. Praha ? - monopol. Stesti, ze existuje Internet
pripojeni na CIS.

GIF... asi, kdyz nekde ztratim zisk, tak se ho nekde jinde snazim dohnat.

Zdravi

CompuServe Revises Standard Pricing Plan
(09-Jan-95)
-----------------------------------------

Starting 05-Feb-95, CompuServe Members will benefit from an enhanced Standard
Pricing Plan.  The new rates significantly lower connect-time and mail charges,
allow access to more basic services, reduce communication surcharges for US and
Canadian WATS access, and eliminate CompuServe network prime-time communication
surcharges for Western Europe.  The new monthly membership fee will be $ 9.95.

HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT

 *Lower connect-time rates:  The connect-time rate for access at
  9.6 and 14.4 kilobits per second will drop from $ 9.60/hour to
  $ 4.80/hour.  This is a 50 percent rate reduction in high speed
  access.

 *Lower mail charges:  The rate for sending a CompuServe Mail
  message will be lowered from 15 cents for the first 7500
  characters of a message, and 5 cents for each additional 2500
  characters of the message.  As of 05-Feb-95, the rate will become
  10 cents for the first 7500 characters of a message, and 2 cents
  for each additional 7500 characters of a message.  At the same time,
  you will continue to receive the $ 9/month mail allowance.  This
  means that you may send 90 three-page full-text messages per
  month FREE.  This is an increase of 30 messages per month.

 *Enhanced Basic Services Package:  CompuServe will increase the
  number of basic services from 78 to more than 100.  As of 05-Feb-95,
  you will now have access to over 100 basic services connect-time free.

  States will be reduced to $ 6/hour.  This is a 31 percent rate
  reduction from $ 8.70/hour previously.  The Canadian WATS
  surcharge will be cut by 41 percent to $20/hour.

 *Elimination of prime-time communication surcharge in Western
  Europe:  The $ 7.70/hour prime-time communication surcharges for
  CompuServe network access in Western Europe will be eliminated.

 *Free Access to the Executive Service Option:  The Standard Pricing
  Plan will now receive all of the benefits of the Executive Service
  Option.  Premium service surcharges continue to apply for specific
  products.
