Technology partners figured out how to route traffic throughout the Internet. That was the easy part. Now the onus is on business partners to figure out how to route money on the same global network.

Ultimately, all e-commerce on the Internet involves the transfer of money from one party to another. In the case of premium digital entertainment content and bandwidth, this process must operate on a global basis and involves multiple parties and national currencies. The InterStream system allows consumers to purchase content packages from on-line distributors and other parties, who in-turn purchase content and bandwidth using real-time wholesale agreements. All parties profit in the transaction by setting their own prices to participate in the new “broadband economy” made possible by InterStream. InterStream creates a level playing field for all participants and enables buyers and sellers of content and bandwidth to come together. InterStream has defined a flexible system that anticipates future growth and provides a limitless opportunity for new services.

Transaction and money flow remain transparent to the consumer because account providers integrate payment for InterStream's premium bandwidth directly into their user payment systems. The consumer simply receives a premium quality stream to bring better than DVD quality video into their household. By remaining independent of the account provider and consumer relationship, InterStream creates an economy for premium bandwidth on the Internet.
