Here are the actual hourly rates:

                      CIS      GEnie
1200 baud:
business day       $12.80     $18.00
eve./night/weekend  12.80       6.00

2400 baud:
business day        12.80      18.00
eve./night/weekend  12.80      10.00

On CIS there is an additional $1.50 per month fee per account.

"Business day" denotes 8 AM to 7 PM on CIS, and 8 AM to 6 PM on GEnie
on weekdays; local time at network connection point.

Rates above are for the respective services' primary communication
networks in the continental U.S. and are applicable in most U.S.
cities.  Access from some suburban and rural areas will incur a
surcharge (typically $2.00/hr for eve/night/weekend access).
