From their news page:

"IB Now Provides Free Delayed Market Data and 24/7 Access for TWS Customers

IB now provides free delayed market data* to our TWS customers for any products and exchanges for which they don't have a market data subscription. These delayed data lines are highlighted in yellow on the TWS screens for easy identification. For more information on receiving free delayed market data, see the TWS Users' Guide. Additionally, customers can now log into TWS 24 hours/day, 7 days/week (except during minor system reset times). For a schedule of availability, see the System Availability section of the System Status page."

I've tried this out and it works just fine. Good move, IB!

Also, delayed market data is supposedly available (I have yet to try this out):

Receive Delayed Market Data

"Customers now have the option to receive delayed market data for exchanges and instruments for which they do not current hold market data subscriptions. The Market Data Request Error window, which displays when the user attempts to add a ticker without having subscribed to market data, now includes two checkboxes at the bottom of the window. Check Receive available delayed market data to use delayed data (if available) for the specific instrument. Additionally check Automatically receive delayed market data when available to use available delayed data automatically whenever you add a ticker to your trading page on an exchange for which you do not hold a market data subscription. The trading window highlights tickers that use delayed data in yellow for easy identification. "
