Prodigy (ISP)
Prodigy Communications Corporation was a dialup service (a sort of "mega-BBS") for home computers in the United States before the advent of the Internet. Prodigy claimed it was the first consumer online service, differentiating itself from the leading service provider, CompuServe, which was used mostly by technophiles.
