AT&T brings Internet to business customers in Europe

September 13, 1995 -- PARIS -- AT&T today announced that it will provide
European business customers with the services that they need to access and
use the Internet as a tool for gaining business advantage.

From October 1st 1995, AT&T Internet Solutions, will cover the full
spectrum of business needs from accessing, planning, setting up, operating
and maintaining dedicated, leased line connections to the Internet,
through setting up and managing a World-Wide Web site, to full support for
electronic commerce and publishing.

AT&T Internet Solutions are an extension of AT&T's entry into the Internet
market that began with AT&T's announcement of its AT&T WorldNet(sm)
Services in the United States in August. Additional services will be
announced and made available in Europe as the global Internet market
develops.

Trials of AT&T Internet Solutions have been underway for the past three
months with selected customers. Business customers will be able to benefit
from AT&T's Internet expertise in security, network management, and system
integration to build sophisticated electronic commerce and publishing
applications.

"Companies cannot ignore the Internet or the opportunities offered by the
World Wide Web," said Sergio Giacoletto, President of AT&T Solutions for
Europe, Middle East and Africa, and the person responsible for the
development of AT&T's online and advanced information service in the
region. "The problem is that organisations are unsure how to safely
integrate the Internet into their businesses. We are bringing technology
and expertise developed by AT&T and its partners, to Europe, enabling
companies to achieve secure, cost-effective access, presence and commerce
on the Internet."

Giorgio Heiman, responsible for the AT&T Internet Solutions offer said, "We
have packaged some of the best expertise, products and communications
technology available on the market to provide our business customers with
high-performance, seamless and secure Internet services."

AT&T has over 15 years of Internet experience, both as a developer and a
user. AT&T's systems integration and outsourcing skills will deliver
reliable, dependable Internet access. Customers will also be able to call
on a wide array of strategic Internet business services, such as World
Wide Web site development, Internet security, training, and even
re-engineering of business processes.

Each offer is complementary to other products and services from AT&T.

AT&T has provided advanced communication technology for use in the
Internet, including the present 622 Mbps experimental capability used in
the Experimental University Network, XUNET. AT&T's many Internet
innovations include the development of the UNIX operating system, the
first implementation of security firewalls, and the development of the
InterNIC 'directory of directories' for the Internet. In June of this year

by Interactive Age magazine. The AT&T corporate web site can be found at
