What is the difference between BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution and BlackBerry® Internet Solution?

The BlackBerry® Internet Solution is targeted to individual users. You can access up to 10 POP3 and IMAP mailboxes using push technology (that is, you do not need to make a request each time you want to update your e-mail box, as happens with pull technology), instant messaging, and other applications.  BlackBerry® Enterprise Service is targeted to corporate (business) customers. It enables access to the company’s corporate infrastructure, including access to the e-mail server, Intranet and corporate applications. In addition, BlackBerry® Enterprise Service users have access to the BlackBerry® Internet Solution services as well.

 

What do I need to get the BlackBerry® Service?
