Default Force GPS on with IT policy?

Please Login to Remove!

As if my other thread wasn't enough.....

Where in the IT policy can I force the devices GPS chip to be always on so the user can't turn it off.

(Yes we have an app that tracks where are users go :p )

Is there a way to keep the radio button always on? So, staff can't turn off and just being stupid to turn off the button. Then call the helpdesk their BB is not working...

In fact, yes. Yes, this functionality was released today. It was announced on the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC today ... which coincidentally is up for sale.
