Pro CD to Go on Internet in New Strategic Move

Danvers, MA, November 14, 1994--Pro CD Inc., publisher of Select Phone,
Home Phone and other national telephone directory titles on CD-ROM, will
now be a citizen of the Internet. This represents the first step in Pro
CD's plans to provide universal access to its database of over 80 million
white page directory listings in media formats other than CD-ROM. James
Bryant, Pro CD's CEO comments, "There are enormous opportunities on the
Internet for content-rich databases and the phone book is the most popular
and commonly used content database in the world. Our CD-ROM products,
Select Phone and Direct Phone, contain the names, addresses and phone
numbers of over 80 million business and residential white page directory
listings in the U.S. It's a perfect resource for net users." Pro CD's goal
is to offer Internet users direct access to its directories on the World
Wide Web and gopher server. As a first step in this program, Pro CD and
The Library Corporation have signed an agreement which will enable users
to access U.S. and Canadian telephone directory information through the
NlighteN online service. NlighteN is an innovative new online service
which offers a comprehensive set of reference databases which are linked
by a universal index. Access to Pro CD products is offered on a
subscription or transaction basis. Initially, Pro CD is providing e-mail
connectivity to its resources through customer service
(customer.service@procd.com), sales (sales@procd.com), and technical
support (technical.support@procd.com). The transition to the Internet was
managed by Pro CD's MIS consultant Christian Del Prete
(christian@procd.com) who employed outside specialist Ian Poynter of
Jerboa Internet Services (ian@jerboa.com) to ensure a smooth start up.
Connection to the internet was provided by the Internet Access Company.
