The four major U.S. wireless carriers confirmed to Federal Communications Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel that they recently stopped, or will soon stop providing outside aggregators with information about customers' locations.
The carriers' statements come in response to Rosenworcel's demand for information about how they treat data that could reveal customers' whereabouts. On May 1, she sent letters to AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon, asking them exactly when they ceased selling location data, and whether they required recipients of the information to destroy it.
