Getting lat,long from Loactions

Question

I have a data base of 1.5 lac USA locations and for each location I have to find latitude(lat) and longitude(long).

Currently I am using geocode API (http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/index.html) for getting lat,long for these locations but there is a limitation that only 2500 locations are to be processed in a single day. But it would be very time consuming to fetch the lat long for 1.5 lac locations with that as it would take around 45 days to complete this task.

Is there any other API available for getting the lat, long for these 1.5 lac USA locations in a single day.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards

I'm still don't sure what LAC of the many LACs you mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAC_(disambiguation) — Martin Thurau, Mar 02 '12 at 09:02
@Martin Thurau -- hi Martin. As you know 10 lacs =1 million. so number of locations that i am refereeing here are 0.15 million. — Arun Kumar, Mar 02 '12 at 11:41
I didn't know about the lac or Lakh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakh Learned something everyday... — Paul Cezanne, Mar 02 '12 at 18:39

You could try Google Maps API for Business, which gives you 100K a day.
