Federal regulators on Thursday voted to impose fines on a Florida company accused of thieving phone call records and selling them on the Web for as little as $100.

At its monthly meeting, the Federal Communications Commission unanimously adopted an order that would force LocateCell to pay $97,500—the highest fee possible for an unregulated company in such a situation—for allegedly failing to provide the agency with all the information it had requested about how the company obtained the data it had sold.

“Responding to commission subpoenas is not optional,” said FCC Chairman Kevin Martin. “We expect that subpoenas, as well as all of our requests for information, will be responded to completely and promptly.”
