Juno Online Services history

By December 1996 Juno had 800,000 subscribers and about 30 advertisers.

By mid-1997 Juno claimed to have 2.2 million users.

Juno continued to actively defend its users from unwanted e-mail and vigorously prosecuted spammers (junk mail marketers). The company had adopted a 'zero-tolerance' approach to unsolicited commercial e-mail in late 1997.

By mid-1998, more than five million users had signed up for Juno's free email services.

Since the beginning of 1998 Juno had more than doubled its points of presence from 500 to 1,200 by purchasing dial-up access from a variety of providers, including Concentric Network, AT & T, Sprint, and WorldCom.

Juno introduced premium service levels, for which customers paid subscription fees, in 1998.

In December 1999 Juno launched version 4.0 of its software and expanded the functionality of all three service levels.

For 1999 Juno's revenue again more than doubled to $52 million, with a net loss of $55.8 million.

After the first quarter of 2000, though, it was trading back in the $7--$16 range and heading progressively lower to barely more than $2 a share in late 2000.
