DELPHI INTERNET PUTS EXCITEMENT OF AMERICA'S CUP ONLINE FOR STUDENTS

Pilot Program Brings Graphical WorldWide Web Access to the Classroom
Free-of-Charge

CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS * March 15, 1995 * Delphi Internet Services
Corporation, one of the nation's largest online services and, since 1992,
a leading provider of complete Internet access, today announced the launch
of its Young America Electronic Adventure online education program.
Through this program, Delphi Internet will conduct a trial run of its
WorldWide Web- based educational services, to provide easy access to the
Internet and its wealth of resources directly from the classroom.

Delphi Internet has teamed with three partners: PACT 95, one of three
American syndicates competing for the America's Cup; ScottForesman, the
educational division of HarperCollins Publishers; and Ocean Challenge, a
company which interactively links ongoing expeditions with classrooms, to
introduce the Young America education program.

Designed for grades K-12, Delphi Internet's Young America Electronic
Adventure "online field trips" aim to motivate children to learn about
science and technology through the excitement generated by the America's
Cup race. Delphi Internet will offer its 300-page Young America site on
the WorldWide Web to anyone with a SLIP or PPP connection to the Internet,
free-of-charge at http://www.delphi.com/young- america/homeport.html.
Participating schools will also receive from Delphi Internet free, trial
graphical WorldWide Web access software and classroom memberships to
Delphi Internet's service. The Young America launch -- which follows
Delphi Internet's technology licensing agreement with Netscape
Communications last month -- marks a key step toward implementing its
strategy of publishing exciting new media properties for WorldWide
Web-based environments.

"Partnering with ScottForesman, Ocean Challenge and PACT 95 has enabled us
to take an innovative approach to publishing on the WorldWide Web and
offering educational programming on Delphi Internet," said Dr. Alan E.
Baratz, Delphi Internet's Chief Executive Officer. "The Young America
online educational program has also afforded us an opportunity to give
something back to the Internet community, which has provided such valuable
resources to us in the past."

"Raising the scientific literacy of young Americans is an important part of
our overall mission as we work toward an America's Cup victory," said John
Marshall, President of Partnership for America's Cup Technology (PACT) 95.
"Together with Delphi Internet, we have created an unparalleled, hands-on
educational environment for students and educators throughout the world."

Developed to augment general classroom curricula, the Young America online
activities use a 486 Mhz personal computer with a 14,400 bps modem to
explore physics, computer technology, oceanography and other sciences that
underlie sailing and boat-building. The program also focuses on nutrition,
teamwork and sportsmanship. The online activities available through the
Young America Electronic Adventure on Delphi Internet are designed to
demonstrate the practical applications of science and math in the real
world.

By accessing the Young America WorldWide Web site, participants can
communicate with the members of the Young America crew and design teams,
keep up-to-date on America's Cup news, and take part in interactive
learning adventures such as weather prediction games, contests for best
boat design, treasure hunts and other online activities. Each week, the
crew and design team will post personal journals providing insight on the
races and exchange questions and answers with students and teachers as the
races unfold. The e-mail address for inquiries to the crew is
youngamerica@delphi.com.
