Is blackberry charging for 'data roaming' now?

A colleague informed me that since May 2008 she has been charged for sending and receiving emails while outside of the country. As far as I know the charge for the data component of blackberry service is a lump sum monthly payment.Our home service is in Trinidad and Tobago and we frequently travel to the USA. We are now being charged for data access while in the US. The phone company is feigning ignorance of the policy but one of their employees claimed that Blackberry changed their billing policies. Is this a third world scam or is anyone else receiving similar charges? If Blackberry is charging for data, services like Boingo will rise and we may even see the demise of RIM.
