ADS ON THE INTERNET. Advertising is creeping onto the Internet, as
commercial ventures begin using the vast network for worldwide information
dissemination. The "Global Network Navigator," an electronically distributed
magazine, will carry ads priced from $200 to $5,000. Another source is
Internet Multicasting Service (IMS), which is a "bucket brigade of
organizations" signed up to deliver free faxes around the world. Publisher
Prentice-Hall and the Computer Literacy bookstore chain have agreed to
advertise on IMS. (Wall Street Journal 8/27/93 B1)
