The Interactive Connection has launched a new on-line service available over the Internet and via a modem. For $12 per year and 10 cents per minute, consumers can view travel brochures from hotels, cruise lines and tourist boards; read magazines; order merchandise and information from advertisers instantly; access travel information on over 9,000 cities and read books, sports and entertainment publications either online, or by downloading the publications for off-line access. All of this is in full colour, and via both Windows and MS-DOS interfaces. Information is delivered in Rich Text Compressed format. Fractal compression is also used, along with hypertext links.
