Thats not exactly true. The FCC911 and other government laws require the telcos to have access to location data and record calls/texts for warrants. The problem is both regulatory as well as commercial. It is unrealistic to expect the general public nor the government to go with real privacy for mobile phones. People want LE/firefighters to respond when they call 911. Most people want organized crime and other egregious crimes to be caught/prosecuted, etc. etc.
