Depends upon the service. AOL with USENET and
email in 1993.
Compuserve probably a bit before that. Heck, still remember the Trumpet
IP stack for Windows.
Compuserve started in 1969!
When internet access started becoming popular, like AOHell, it even tried
to compete with the internet for a while, with forums, etc.
Now it is owned by AOL?
Remember when Netcom, etc. put their own wrappers around internet content?
Remember Prodigy?
