From a billing point of view with my carrier, it is important that I know whether this application is using the BISB connectivity or Direct TCP.
So which is it?
In an earlier forum post, the admin wrote:
"Currently we use a direct connection method of connecting to the internet. This requires an APN setting on some providers. (Rogers in Canada for example). A lot of providers do not require any APN settings but yours sounds like it needs one. We are looking at joining the BlackBerry Developer Alliance in the near future, and if we get approved it will allow us to use the BISB connections which is how your built in browser and other applications connect to the web. Once we do this, APN settings will no longer be required."

But then in a more recent forum post, the admin wrote:
"TetherBerry uses your data plan to make connections to the internet just like any other internet based application running on your phone...Yes, the data through TetherBerry looks like requests being made by your built in browser or similar programs."

That second post describes BISB connectivity, which is what the native device browser uses. So which is it guys?
Currently it is still Direct TCP.
