In downtown SF, cell-id would be good enough - but I doubt they would
ever answer the phone that quickly at starbucks !!
I wonder if Apple are looking at exclusive deals with other networks,
in other countries, Cingular as a GSM network makes sense in the US -
but in the rest of world ?
An non-contract iphone might force operators to open up their
location-api's ? Wishful thinking perhaps

I have not seen the actual keynote video, but in the MacRumors live
blog it seemed as Steve Jobs said "it knows where you are" or
something when he looked for a Starbucks. But no specific mention
of how it knew that.
