FCC fines US wireless carriers nearly $200 million over illegal location data sharing
Apr 29, 2024 10:57 AM

WASHINGTON, April 29 (Reuters) - The Federal

Communications Commission fined the largest U.S. wireless

carriers nearly $200 million for illegally sharing access to

customers' location information.

The FCC is finalizing fines first proposed in February 2020,

including $80 million for T-Mobile and $12 million for

Sprint, which it has acquired as well $57 million for AT&T ( T )

and nearly $47 million for Verizon Communications ( VZ ). FCC

Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said the largest wireless sold

"real-time location information to data aggregators, allowing

this highly sensitive data to wind up in the hands of bail-bond

companies, bounty hunters, and other shady actors."
