Older OSes didn't need servicebooks to enable WiFi browsing and devices with those OSes could use WiFi without a data plan for browsing the web. But the system was complicated and difficult for some people who were paying for BlackBerry data plans to understand. So RIM evolved the way a network transport is selected. Staring IIRC in 4.6 until by 6.0 it is fully automatic and you need the support of the RIM operations centre, servicebooks (which only come from cariers) and a BlackBerry data plan for it to work.
