Bloomberg Open API

According to the document in Bloomberg Open Website: http://www.openbloomberg.com/open-api/

Does Everyone have ability to get the real-time market data by using the Bloomberg Open API at no cost and without Bloomberg Terminal?

Why can I run the sample code "SimpleSubscriptionExample.java" provided by Bloomberg?

Here is some code:

String serverHost = "127.0.0.1";
int serverPort = 8194;
String serviceName = "//blp/mktdata";

SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions();
sessionOptions.setServerHost(serverHost);
sessionOptions.setServerPort(serverPort);

Since I don't know the serverHost, how can I get to the Bloomberg through Open API?

    I think they've opened up the API, not the actual data. In particular, from http://www.bloomberg.com/pressroom/2012/01/31/bloomberg-opens-its-data-distribution-technology/index.html: "* Bloomberg is offering its programming interface (BLPAPI) under a free-use agreement. This does not apply to any content." – Simon Nickerson Apr 12 '12 at 09:01
