I'm just wondering if anybody knows if Apple provides deals to enterprises wanting to deploy an application to a large # of customers. Or does every customer have to go to the app store and buy the application individually giving Apple the 30% cut of your app price.

Thanks

If you develop an application that you want to distribute yourself,it must be digitally signed with a certificate issued by Apple. You must also provide your users with a distribution provisioning profile that allows their device to use the application.
