Last week I shared a link to the article about [carriers selling location data](https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/nepxbz/i-gave-a-bounty-hunter-300-dollars-located-phone-microbilt-zumigo-tmobile). This activity got a lot of attention from people, and a mere week later Sprint is stopping this practice.
