Pac Bell to cap Net access
C|NET - June 10, 1998, 10:55 a.m. PT

Pacific Bell is planning to cap its Internet access at 150 hours per
month and increase its monthly access fee to $21.95 as of August 1.

The Internet service provider was previously charging $19.95 for
unlimited Web access.

Subscribers who use the service more than 150 hours per month will be
charged $1.80 per hour. The 150-hour cap will not affect subscribers
to the $199.50 yearly plan.

Pac Bell is the latest in a string of ISPs and online services to
alter their pricing and access plans, putting into question whether
unlimited access is destined for extinction among ISPs. Major ISPs
such as AT&T WorldNet and MCI Internet in recent months have introduced
limited Internet access plans in hopes of reducing network congestion.

America Online was first to break the $19.95 barrier in February when
it raised its monthly fee $2 to $21.95. In March, WebTV raised its
monthly rate $4 to $24.95.

In addition to the price and access changes, Pac Bell subscribers will
receive a personal home page, two extra email boxes, two extra email
aliases, 56-kbps Internet access capability, and roaming service.

Pac Bell also announced it plans to decrease its monthly ISDN access
rate by 40 percent from $49.95 to $29.95. The price change also will
go into effect August 1.

Pacific Bell has 190,000 subscribers to its Internet service.
