Your (U.S.A.) cell network provider sells your location. No need for apps!

  In this case wasn't it was a cell network provider wanting the info from twitter? why'd they want it if they already have it?

    Probably to correlate Twitter user names with telco customers.

      Oh, wow. I didn't even think the request included Twitter handles.

    They (the telcos) only have stats on their customers. Twitter has it for anyone running twitter. Further, twitters location data is likely more accurate than the telco due to positioning from stuff like wifi names, local gps, etc.
