| The goods and services of the affiliates and sponsors of the iBA are now available from the iBA Resource Center. Since 1999, the iBA has worked with a group of founders and sponsors essentially demonstrating the mass communication, interactive and transactional potentials of the world's largest network. The iBA Charter, "To protect, promote and preserve the rights and privileges of all Internet Citizens" is alive and well within the iBA Resource Center. There are dynamic telephone, Internet telephony, web hosting, Internet radio/TV broadcasting hardware and turnkey system integration services available. The iBA and the iBN themselves offer new forms of business and Internet Broadcasting services. All are available through the network's Resource Center. The wide-range line of goods and services is made possible because the affiliates and sponsors of the iBA/iBN have each offered their online sales forces or select products directly to the visitors of the iBA Resource Centers. The diversity of the affiliates/sponsors literally makes it possible for a visitor to configure their entire Internet Broadcasting infrastructure and day-to-day online operations from this single online shopping experience. There are also unique resources available within the center\'s content. There are a number of best rate calculators where the center will shop for you and develop customized configurations of services. This is of value in telephony, telecommunications, Internet Telephone, T-1 leasing, even 800 number system configuration. As the rates in these areas can often change, the iBA Resource rate calculators are regularly updated by the affiliates, making it possible for the visitor to obtain the best rates on a given service. The iBA Resource Center is also a portal to the subnet works of the iBN who offer goods and services to the online visitors. Subnets like iBHealth offer assistance is locating dentists, vision, chiropractic and pharmacy health care providers and enrollment in the iBHealth Alternative to Medical Insurance. Individual coverage costs $11.95 a month. A household is covered for $19.95 a month. This is not insurance. It is a health care provider plan that is supported by +80,000 care providers in America, each posting the prices for goods and services the member will pay when they receive them. All of the information about the plan, the locator of the providers and enrollment is available through the iBA Resource Center or iBHEALTH. |
