What is ClariNet?

	ClariNet is a new electronic publishing network service that
	provides professional news and information, including live UPI
	wireservice news, in the USENET file format.

	ClariNet lets you read an "electronic newspaper" right on your
	own computer.  You can also get timely computer industry news,
	technology related wirestories, syndicated columns and features,
	financial information, stock quotes and more.

	ClariNet gives you scores of professionally produced newsgroups
	for about the same price as the analogous paper publications --
	but without advertising.   Instead of dialing up to an online
	service with a slow modem to read online news, you get it delivered
	to your own machine, to read and search at your own convenience,
	with your own favourite tools, on your own high speed terminal --
	and there's no meter running while you read.

	ClariNet news is provided using the USENET message interchange
	format, and available via UUCP and other delivery protocols.
	These formats are supported by a variety of packages for Unix
	and other systems.  If you're already on USENET, you're ready to
	receive ClariNet with no extra effort.  If you're not on USENET,
	we can help you get newsreading software, usually for free.

How does it work?

	At ClariNet, we licence publications of all sorts for electronic  
	distribution.  For example, we collect news directly off the UPI wire,  
	classify it and convert it into USENET format.  In turn, generated
	articles are fed out on a regular basis to the UUNET hub machine,
	Anterior's Bay Area USENET hub, the Performance Systems International
	Network UUPSI hub and many other distribution points.  You pick
	them up in USENET format and pay a subscription fee based on the
	number of readers at your site.   

	
	UUNET is a not-for-profit firm providing UUCP connectivity via high
	speed modems and 800 numbers.  A for-profit arm also provides TCP/IP
	connections.  UUNET bills by the hour.   Anterior is a similar
	for-profit entity providing service in silicon valley.  PSI provides
	TCP/IP network as well as dial-up UUCP connectivity with local access
	in a number of cities for a fixed monthly fee.

	You read your news using USENET newsreading tools.  Small
	volume publications can also be sent via electronic mail.
	You can also use our NewsClip programming language.
	This lets you filter your newsreading as finely as you desire.

	With special permission, you can even feed ClariNet publications
	to other sites -- in fact, we'll pay you to do this.  Feed
	enough sites and your subscriptions will be free.

What are the publications?

   ClariNews -- our "electronic newspaper," gathered live from the wire
	services of United Press International (UPI).  ClariNews articles
	are distributed in one hundred newsgroups based on their subject
	matter, and are keyworded for additional topics and the geographical
	location of the story.  ClariNews has everything from headlines
	to industry news to box scores to network TV schedules.

	ClariNews is divided into three main products:

    ClariNews-General -- our general news"paper" with news, sports and
	features.  All major news, sports, weather and UPI feature articles,
	plus limited business and science/technology coverage.  Coverage
	of US and international news, Washington and more.  Around 300 stories
	per day, but categorized and headlined to help you read only what
	you want to read.  Get your news and sports scores long before they
	show up in your daily newspaper.

	Also available is ClariNews-Canada, with regular newsbriefs on
	Canadian stories -- usually hard to find in the USA.  For
	expatriate Canadians this is a must.


    TechWire -- special groups for stories on science and technology and
	the industries around them.  Computers, Electronics, Telecom,
	Space, Aerospace, Defence, Biotechnology, Research, Education, AIDS
	and more.  Around 30-40 stories/day.   Coming soon: A daily report
	of the stock prices of computer industry stocks.

    ClariNews-Biz -- Business and financial stories.  Economic indicators,
	corporate news, regular stock market reports, legal issues,
	government info, commodities and much more.  Around 120 stories/day


    Newsbytes -- a daily computer industry newsmagazine, on your
        computer well before InfoWorld or PC Week can be on your desk.
	Gathered from 11 bureaus around the world.  Newsbytes covers the IBM,
	Apple, Unix, Telecom and general computing worlds, along with coverage
	of trends, legal issues, industry news and reviews of new products.
	Delivered each business day.  A delayed version, delivered weekly,
	is available in some areas at a reduced cost.

    Syndicated Columns -- ClariNet offers the finest in syndicated
	columns and features.  Currently we offer:
		Dave Barry	- America's Best Humour Columnist
		Mike Royko	- Top rated opinion columnist
		Miss Manners	- Light hearted advice on etiquette
		Kinsey Report	- Q&A and information on sex
		People		- Daily column on celebs.

	Dozens of other features come with the UPI report.
	We want to bring more -- tell us what you like!

	Syndicated features are available via E-mail or Newsgroup.

     Street Price Report -- a database of direct buyer prices for computer
	equipment and software, gathered from magazines like Computer
	Shopper and PC Magazine along with other sources.  Use it to
	buy equipment, or quote the prices to vendors that promise to
	match advertised prices.


     The full list of newsgroups is posted monthly to news.groups within
     the list of "Alternate Newsgroup Hierarchies."  You can also find it
     at the end of this document.


What does it cost?

	ClariNet publications can be purchased either with single
	subscriptions (for 1 or 2 people) or with a "site" subscription
	that covers your computer, LAN or facility.  Each product has
	a "base price" that is the cost for 1 or 2 readers.

	For site subscriptions, we calculate a subscriber count based
	on the networking population of your site.   Send us your best
	estimate of the number of people who read any kind of electronic
	news on your computer, including local discussions, and we can
	provide a quote.   The more subscribers you have, the less you
	pay per subscriber -- as much as 88% less.

	Here are the base prices for the products, along with the
	percentages we use in calculating subscriber counts.  If you
	don't currently use any form of electronic news, tell us the
	general user population of your systems, and we will work from
	that.

	Product			Base Price	Site Licence Percentage

	Full ClariNews		$28/month	20%	(Special Discount Ramp)
	   News/Sports/Features	$11/month	20%
	   Canada		$5/month	20%
	   TechWire		$11/month	25%
	   Business News	$16/month	15%
	   N/S/F + TechWire	$19/month	25%

	Daily Newsbytes		$10/month	20%
	Street Price Report	$29.95/year	25%
	Typical Synd Column	$9.95/year	30%	(Available by E-mail)
	All Synd Columns	$29.95/year	25%

		Packages

	ALL Products		$35/month	25%	(Special Discount Ramp)

	All but TechWire &
	  Business News		$22/month	20%

	As an example, here are the "site subscription" prices on these
	publications for a system with 100 netreaders.  All prices are 
	in US dollars per month:

	Product			Price/Month	Price/Netreader/Month

	ClariNews-General	$91.3		$0.91

	TechWire		$102.3		$1.02
	NewsBytes		$83		$0.83
	TechWire+NewsBytes	$167.40		$1.67
	Typical Synd. Column	$9.62		$0.09
	All Synd Columns	$23.96		$0.24
	Street Price Report	$26.46		$0.26
	ClariNews-ALL		$162		$1.62

	Everything!		$203		$2.03

	Prices are subject to change without notice to non-subscribers
	Write to info@clarinet.com for an exact quote.  Prices are in
	U.S. Dollars.  Discounts available on UPI info for non-US sites.

	Please note that Canadian customers must add G.S.T.

EDUCATIONAL PRICES:
	
	ClariNet educational prices provide a site licence for the entire
	campus.  You can distribute it as you like within the campus
	(except to the newspapers or radio/TV station) -- even archive it
	in a full text search database for your library or use it within
	your school of journalism.  The price is based on the full time
	enrollment of the institution:

	Under 5,000		$175/month
	5,000 to 20,000		$350/month
	20,000 and up		$580/month

	(Borderline schools are judged based on how heavily networked they
	are.)

BBS PRICES:

	A special price structure is available for small to medium sized
	fee-charging public access BBSs, based on the number of lines into
	the board.

SAMPLE PRICES:
	Here are some sample site licence prices for the package of all
	current products at different "networker" counts.   For sites of
	more than 2 people, the 15-networker minimum applies.

		Networkers	Price/month

		15 (minimum)	$52.50
		25		$87.5
		50		$133
		100		$203 (as above)
		150		$255
		200		$308
		500		$623
		1,000		$1,043		(only ~$1 per user!)

Can I see what it looks like?

	We'll be glad to give you a free two-week trial of any
	product, with no obligation.  If you already connect to
	UUNET, Anterior, UUPSI or another authorized feed site, we can
	set a trial up for you almost immediately, with no effort on your part.

	If you're not satisfied with the products at the end of
	the trial, send back the invoice (even by e-mail) and you
	will be charged nothing.  "Keep those first issues as our gift
	to you."  :-)


	Sample articles are posted regularly to the USENET group
	"biz.clarinet.sample."  Contact us for more.

What about feeding other sites?

	USENET works by having one site in an area feed other sites.
	ClariNet can work that way too.  If you apply for permission,
	and you have the capacity to do it reliably, we will let you
	feed other sites.  In fact, we'll pay you to do this by
	reducing your subscription fees by 10% of the fees we charge
	the sites you feed directly.  You can either register with us
	to feed sites, or you can go out and find possible subscribers
	amongst the sites you already know.  If you do that, we'll discount
	your price even further.

	Feed 7-10 similar sized sites in this manner and your subscription
	will be free.

How do I subscribe?

	If you need more information, mail to info@clarinet.com.  If you
	want an electronic order form and the full sheet of terms and
	conditions, mail to order@clarinet.com.   You can also phone
	800-USE-NETS or 408-296-0366.  E-mail is easiest, but you may
	wish to use the phone to talk in person or give confidential
	information like UUCP connect info or credit card numbers.

	Internet users should be aware that certain commercial messages
	may not be appropriate for transmission over the internet.

	You can pay by check or credit card, or we can invoice site
	subscribers.  There is a $1 discount per invoice if you allow
	electronic mail invoicing and pay promptly.  We take Visa, MasterCard
	and Amex.

	You can also write to us at:

		ClariNet Communications Corp.
		Box 1479
		Cupertino, CA 95015-1479

How do I get a feed?
	
	Three easy places are UUNET, PSI and Anterior (Fernwood).  Write to
	postmaster@uunet.uu.net for details on how to become a customer
	of theirs.  They provide cheap communications, but do charge
	a $35/month administrative fee on top of their telecom charges.
	After that, they can feed you anywhere in the USA for as little
	as $5/hour.  Fernwood has a $30/month administration fee and
	$1.90/hr rates for Palo Alto area customers.  Write to
	postmaster@fernwood.mpk.ca.us.   PSI charges a flat fee of $75/month
	for leaf-site access to E-mail and news, with local access in
	selected areas.   Mail info@psi.com or phone 800-82psi82.

	You can also get a feed from one of our existing customers in
	your area.  Our net is growing.  Contact us to see if we have
	a feed site in an area that you can call.

	You can also get a live feed over the Internet, if you are an
	authorized internet user.  So long as the material has a valid
	educational or research use at your site, this is in fact what
	the Internet is for.

	If there is no feed point suitable for you, we will keep you on
	file and inform you when one shows up.

	Mail feeds are possible for very small publications like syndicated
	columns.  On the other hand, the individual sending requirements
	can make this sort of arrangement expensive.  In addition, you should
	be sure you have the permission of the sites that will pass the
	mail on to you.

Do I really need more stuff to read?

	No.  But we do think you can use your time better when you read
	professionally written and classified information -- information
	worth paying for.   With NewsClip you can arrange so that each
	article you see is important to you and worth reading.  Compare
	that to the time you spend on USENET or online services -- it
	might actually save you time and money.

	In fact, ClariNet could be the best reason to run USENET software
	on your machine -- or something that makes it even more worthwhile
	to all levels of your company.

What are the terms and conditions?

	ClariNet products are offered under special terms.  If you wish
	to subscribe, we'll send you the full sheet of terms and conditions.
	In general, the terms state that:

		You must not interfere with the operation of the ClariNet
			network (no forged control messages etc.)
		You must respect copyright, and not allow unauthorized access.
		You must pay your subscription fees on time.
		Some products may not be archived forever.
			(This does not apply to any current products)
		The rules are subject to change with 30 days notice.
		Customers may not re-sell or re-publish ClariNet products.
		 (Some limited use on fee paying BBSs is allowed.)
		Articles must be kept intact.
		ClariNet is not responsible for information provided by
		  outside information providers.  Most products are offered
		  on an as-is basis.  (UPI is as-is)
		Customers are responsible for the cost of communication from
		  a ClariNet feedpoint to their computer.

What are the advantages of ClariNet?

	Many online services offer you electronic publications, including
	live newswires.  The difference with ClariNet is that we deliver
	it to your computer.  You don't have to dial up and read it with
	a 2400 bps modem, with a meter running.   You get to read your
	news on your own machine, on your own time, and on your own
	high speed terminal.

	The subscription fee is quite low.  General ClariNews at $10 a
	month is a bargain compared to many online services, where
	that $10 would buy less than an hour of newsreading per month.

	Best of all, the price is fixed, and can be fixed for several
	months in advance -- no hidden costs -- it's easy to budget.

How can I handle 400 new articles of news each day?

	You can search the news on your own machine with your own tools.
	ClariNews is quite large, and you would not be expected to read
	all of it, just as you don't read all of a daily paper.

	Because ClariNews is headlined by professional editors, all it
	takes is a simple "=' (in RN) to make a quick scan of the headlines.
	Then pick and choose the stories you like.

	Or use a NewsClip filter program.  ClariNews is highly keyworded.
	You can arrange to see only articles that describe topics, people
	places or companies that you are interested.   Want to see only
	the computer stories that mention Sun Microsystems? -- no problem.

	There are hundreds of different keywords that the editors place on
	each article.  Topics from AIDS to child abuse to televangelism to
	inflation to gun control can be tracked.

	Or, if it's just too much news, simply select our "TOP" news
	categories and get only the leading stories of the day, plus whatever
	special groups you have interest in.  Our top news categories
	cover the type of news you would find in the first few pages of
	the news, sports, international and business sections of a typical
	newspaper.

How fast can I get the news?

	We get the news right as it comes off the wire, and deliver it
	to our main feeds within an hour.  If you call them regularly, or
	have an internet connection, you can get the news as it happens.
	Most evening papers close out just after noon.  Many morning papers
	close out at midnight.   ClariNews stories will beat the papers for
	you every time.

	NewsBytes closes after PC Week and InfoWorld and comes out before
	they are printed.  That's the advantage of electronic news.


What if my site can't join but users want to subscribe?

	If your sysadmin is willing to put the "clari" news articles
	in a special "group" that can only be read by people we
	authorize, we will be glad to bill individual users or
	groups of users.   The discounts apply to each billing unit.
	(So if everybody wants to be billed individually, each pair pays
	the base price, but you can combine for a discount.)

	On small sites, even this security measure is not required.

	Check with your library to see if they have a standard policy
	on ordering publications.

What if I don't have a Unix system?

	There are software packages available that handle USENET format
	news for many different operating systems.  There are even
	a couple of free/shareware packages for the IBM-PC.  You can
	arrange to ship your news to your IBM-PC at home or on the
	road, if desired.

What more information can I get?

	Write to info@clarinet.com for more information.  Here are some
	of the files of information that we have.  Many of these files
	duplicate what's said in this file, however.
