Internet Access
With a Local Call Worldwide! |
Now you can get local-call
access to the Internet from every major city in the world
through Global Internet's True Global Internet Roaming
service enabled through iPass! This is a cost-effective
solution for business travelers and telecommuters who
need to make long-distance telephone calls to access
their home Internet accounts. |
|
What do you need to use
the service? |
All you need is a Global
Internet account and the iPass connection software. There
are three connection software options: iPass Dial Wizard
for Windows 95, iPass Dial Wizard for Macintosh or
Microsoft Connection Manager for Windows 95 or NT. The
connection software has a very simple point-and-click
interface that allows you to connect to a local access
number from around the world in seconds. Global Internet
provides this to you at no additional cost. You maintain
one account with Global Internet, continue to use the web
browser and e-mail program of your choice, and always use
the same user ID and password. |

How Does it Work? |
iPass forms relationships
with ISPs around the world that have the highest quality
Internet access networks and that provide access in far
reaching locations. iPass provides software to Global
Internet that enables these access networks to be
available to you. This software facilitates secure
routing of user authentication requests over the Internet
between Global Internet and other providers. |
|
When you travel outside of
our regular service area, you can dial into any of the
worldwide iPass access points using your iPass connection
software. You will log in with your standard user name
and password (appending @global.net.pg at the end of your
user name, e.g. john@ISP.net). Your authentication
request will be encrypted and sent over the Internet to
your home provider's authentication server. The server
will check your information and send an authorization
response (or denial if appropriate) back to the ISP you
are dialing into so that you can gain access to the
Internet. This process takes about five to ten seconds.
iPass tracks the time you are connected to enable your
ISP to accurately bill you for the services used. |
