BIS-B connection has to be Blackberry Alliance Program? - blackberry

I'm totally new in the blackberry developing thing.
I already searched and reading a lot of threads in forum and in RIM tutorial itself.
I already become the member of Blackberry Alliance Program, the free one.
Then... I got confused about the BIS-B connection usage.
Is it true, I have to be the Associate (low level paid member) to access the BIS-B conenction to be applied in my application?
Thank you.

Developing App for iXpand Flash Drive required MFI Program?

I am looking to develop my IOS application to communicate with iXpand Flash Drive using lighting port. I am going to use iXpand SDK for that. The flash drive is defined in public database of apple. Does this need me to have MFI Program to deploy the app on App Store?
I can answer it well as I have deal with the same case:
You need not to have MFI License, as you are not manufacturer of
iXpand Flash Drive Hardware.
The SDK does not communicate with WesternDigital to get any information.
In my case, Apple Does not have asked for MFI details for iXpand. You may just need to provide details harware details for using lighting port.
At last but not least, we cannot 100% sure about apple review process. They can accept / reject with any reason but here you have good chances to accept it if you have valid reason to us external hardware.

Access Internet From My Blackberry App

This is my first attemp to code a blackberry app so please bear with me.
I am developing an app to make it easy to access certain information from certain websites using screenscrapping.
Now I am done with the ui part of the application onto the internet access part.
My question is how do i access internet from my app ? I see that blackberry offers http, wifi and some other forms to access the internet ... does my app need to be worried about what mode is being used ? or as far as my app is concerned theres a general api to access the net with the logic of connecting to the internet being handled by the device itself ..?
any pointers with some sample code would be much appreciated.
thank you,
