blackberry.bbm.platform.io.Channel

A connection to communicate with one or more peers, where the peers are not aware of each other. Each peer can only communicate with the current user.

For example, a channel connection could be used when a user wants to have a private chat with a contact, or wants to send their location information to one or more contacts.
