AT&T Ends Location Aggregation Services

AT&T is eliminating all location aggregation services, “even those with clear consumer benefits,” after a report carriers sold customers' real-time location data eventually accessed by bounty hunters (see 1901090066), a spokesperson said Thursday. AT&T stopped most location aggregation services last year but maintained some that “protect our customers, such as roadside assistance and fraud prevention,” the spokesperson emailed. “We are immediately eliminating the remaining services and will be done in March.”
