The nation’s leading mobile carriers are being hit with hefty fines by the FCC for illegally sharing access to customers’ location data without consent. In a news release on Monday, the Federal Communications Commission said T-Mobile is being fined more than 80-million-dollars, A-T-and-T more than 57-million-dollars, and Verizon just under 47-million. The FCC also issued a 12-million-dollar fine to Sprint, which was purchased by T-Mobile. The fines cap a four-year investigation that began under the Trump administration. All of the carriers said they intend to appeal.
