In all, the FCC says the carriers should pay around $200 million, according to a person familiar with the matter. The Wall Street Journal first reported the fines, and said the action includes AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon. > The news comes after Motherboard revealed that carriers sold phone location to companies which then provided it to hundreds of bounty hunters and other third-parties.
