connection simultaneously. This type of connection is ideal for e-mail, file
transfer, and Internet and intranet access. The user pays for the amount of
data sent and received.
• Using a Streaming IP connection you get an exclusive high-priority
connection ensuring seamless transfer of data. This type of connection is
ideal for time critical applications like live video over IP. The 8 and 16 kbps
connections are well suited for Voice over IP. The user pays for the duration
of the connection (per minute charge).
