COMPUSERVE REACHES THREE MILLION ACCOUNTS
Millions and Millions (Compu)Served!

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 28, 1995 -- CompuServe Incorporated today announced
that it has surpassed 3 million active accounts after a year of
unprecedented growth, giving it the largest active membership of any
online service.

CompuServe continues to be the most successful online service and the only
service with a truly global presence. CompuServe is currently signing up
as many as 60,000 new members each week.

Barry F. Berkov, CompuServe executive vice president, Information Service
Division, offered a number of reasons for the growth.

"In the past year, there has been tremendous interest in online services
and the Internet. And as the undisputed leader in online content, global
networking and information services, CompuServe has become `the' place to
be for millions of people," Berkov said.

With a huge array of offerings ranging from downloadable music to
machine-based language translation services, CompuServe has served as a
catalyst to get people and companies online. New products such as the
award-winning CompuServe NetLauncher World Wide Web browser and the
CompuServe Viewer, which combines still video images with closed-captioned
text and live chat, make the CompuServe Information Service an even more
exciting place for the online consumer.

Berkov continued, "Although many people think of CompuServe as the place
for business and computer support services, the majority of CompuServe's
members are individuals who see us as the place for multimedia involvement
through CompuServeCD, dynamic online news and entertainment services
through CNN, Sports Illustrated, People Magazine and much more. With the
industry's only direct dial-PPP connection to the Internet and World Wide
Web, and a global presence that offers our members citizenship in a true
world community, we expect to grow even faster in the coming year."

The CompuServe Information Service continues to be the world's most
successful and most popular online service with millions of members who
access the service from more than 3 million active, paying accounts
through proprietary operations, affiliates and licensees. CompuServe is
also the only global service with members in more than 150 countries. The
undisputed industry leader in innovation, the service offers global email,
the industry's first CD-ROM supplement, libraries of free software,
selected 28.8 kbps access and worldwide direct Internet access services.
