"Last year we stopped most location aggregation services while maintaining some that protect our customers, such as roadside assistance and fraud prevention. In light of recent reports about the misuse of location services, we have decided to eliminate all location aggregation services - even those with clear consumer benefits. We are immediately eliminating the remaining services and will be done in March," an AT&T spokesman said in a statement.  

AT&T's move follows similar actions by competitor T-Mobile. CEO John Legere said in tweets that T-Mobile would also completely end such services by March. Sprint and Verizon didn't respond to a request for comment.
