Or is the location of a GPS phone the kind of information that not even the owner is entitled to from Sprint without a subpoena?

The entire article and subsequent discussion can be reduced to this one sentence.

And not even a hint of the answer...

After a very long and nonproductive session with Sprint personell yesterday, I ended the "conversation" by saying "at least I am thankful for one thing" The lady asked "what is that" and I replied that "I am thankful for having Verizon and not Sprint."
