In the case of the pure GPS, only the GPS device (PDA) knows the current location. There’s no “back channel” unless an application is telling a server where you are. In the case of the A-GPS whoever controls the assistance server knows your current location. Now in the case of Nextel (operator in USA) there are applications that do just that. On Verizon (another USA network operator) applications have to ask your permission to provide location info upstream.
