This marked the first time a consumer had access to services such as e-mail. The service was not favored internally within the business-oriented CompuServe, but as the service became a hit, they renamed the service CompuServe Information Service, or CIS. By the mid-1980\u2019s CompuServe was the largest consumer information service in the world and half their revenue came from CIS. In 1989 CompuServe connected its proprietary e-mail system to the Internet e-mail system, making it one of the first commercial Internet services. However, CompuServe did not compete well with America On-Line or independent Internet Service Providers in the 1990\u2019s and lost its dominant market position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techiteens.com\/review\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/7a804__p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif\" border=\"0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/thisdayintechhistory.com\/09\/24\/compuserve-launches-micronet\/\">This Day in Tech History<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tech History provided by This Day in Tech History.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 24, 1979 CompuServe launches the first consumer-oriented online information service, which they called MicroNET.
