This was out of date in 1996. I agree with others that if it was 1986 there would be an excuse, but in 96, then he was giving out bad info.
We had already seen the rise and fall of Cello and Mosaic. Trumpet Winsock was envy where. Here in the UK we had services such as Demon offering an Internet connection for £10 a month. Internet magazine had been running for a couple of years. Hell even my book had been out for a few years (http://www.amazon.com/The-Internet-Via-Mosaic-World-Wide/dp/...) and was already totally out of date due to the fast moving nature of things.
I think it was around then that even CompuServe were moving from the traditional CSi back end over to fully Internet based systems.
The UK was pretty Internet savvy in 96. Far more than this consultant was, anyway.
