I am working on an app which uses LBS (location based service). To utilize this feature do we have the pay the service provider everytime we access the location of an iPhone? Any help here will be appreciated.
Got a tip for us?

Core Location is the framework for retrieving the user's current location. Although it can use GPS, it also is capable of using cell-tower triangulation as well as WiFI location. Which of these the device is using is transparent to the user and not controllable. You simply get an estimated lat/long and an accuracy for that location. You can read more about this in the "Getting the User's Current Location" section of the iPhone Application Programming Guide.
