The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will propose fines for the nation's largest telecom companies for selling the location data of their customers without consent. 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.
