Street Contracts?

Hello,

I've seen the term street contract on here a few times but not in much detail. Can anyone explain it to me? Does it mean I don't need an agency affiliation to sell life insurance? Can I contract directly with insurance carriers without an agency?

Please help.
Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
