I recently had a memory come back to being on aol sometime in 2001 and chatting with someone who claimed to be from Japan. This was in an anime chat room I used to visit.

Was the service available outside the USA?

      I don’t remember them sending out floppies, but the CDs were everywhere. I’m fairly sure that they mailed them out, but they definitely put them in newspapers and magazines. My parents had AOL dialup, so I’d get a CD every now and then to update the software :)
