Are you BES? If so, it may be your employer that is blocking GPS.

Never heard of them doing so. Where are you getting this from? I think people tend to be quick to assume that the carrier is blocking something if it doesn't work properly or if there are other issues.

Maybe they are subscribing to the Verizon business model?

I use 3rd party software that access my GPS on my Bell Storm... No problem what so ever.

The only problem I have is with Google Latitude... But I believe it's a Google problem. And since us Canadian are not really complaining about it (no where near the Verizon Storm User) I doubt very much this is going to be corrected soon...
