That sounds odd to me, as all of these streams are passed using http protocol. Thus they should appear as browser use to the carrier. As an example, the URI for one of the streams is:

http://provisioning.streamtheworld.c.../WABCAMAAC.pls

This returns a playlist file of URIs to be used for the streaming audio. A sample of these would be:

[playlist]
File1=http://6703.live.streamtheworld.com:80/WABCAMAAC_SC
File2=http://6703.live.streamtheworld.com:3690/WABCAMAAC_SC
File3=http://6703.live.streamtheworld.com:443/WABCAMAAC_SC
File4=http://5283.live.streamtheworld.com:80/WABCAMAAC_SC
File5=http://5283.live.streamtheworld.com:3690/WABCAMAAC_SC
File6=http://5283.live.streamtheworld.com:443/WABCAMAAC_SC
...

So whatever stream is to be played is an http URI and in this case is a relatively low bandwidth audio stream.
