BIS-B connection has to be Blackberry Alliance Program?

I'm totally new in the blackberry developing thing.

I already searched and reading a lot of threads in forum and in RIM tutorial itself. I already become the member of Blackberry Alliance Program, the free one.

Then... I got confused about the BIS-B connection usage. Is it tru开发者_运维百科e, I have to be the Associate (low level paid member) to access the BIS-B conenction to be applied in my application?

Thank you.
