From my booklet from Telenet called "How to Use Telenet's PC Pursuit
Service" :

- Start of quote -

About Telenet's PC Pursuit Service

PC Pursuit is designed for PC users at small and medium-sized
businesses and at home, who are looking for a cost-effective
alternative to long-distance direct dial or WATS services for PC
communications.

From thousands of U.S. cities and towns, a user can establish an
unlimited number of connections to telephone-accessible databases,
bulletin boards, and other communicating PC's in America's largest
business and information hubs.

- End of quote

You'll note that personal use was never a selling point of PC
Pursuit.  It was specifically targeted at business followed by home
users as an alternative to watching the clock.
