                                  STATEMENT OF

                        COMMISSIONER DEBORAH TAYLOR TATE

   Re: 1st Source Information Specialists, Inc., d/b/a LocateCell.com,
   Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, Notice of Apparent Liability for
   Forfeiture, EB File No. EB-05-TC-059; FRN 0014762439; NAL Acct. No.
   200632170005.

   The brokerage of personal information - whether it be personal identity,
   financial records, or a list of your phone calls - is intolerable. Six
   months ago we pledged to do our part to keep consumer's personal phone
   data confidential. Today, we keep that promise.

   LocateCell was subpoenaed in an effort to determine how it was able to
   access sensitive, personal subscriber information that telecommunications
   carriers are obligated to protect. But instead of responding with full
   candor, LocateCell has willfully and repeatedly ignored the Commission's
   most significant data requests. Accordingly, we issue this Notice of
   Apparent Liability, and propose the maximum forfeiture amount against
   LocateCell.

   The action we take today should reinforce our message to any and all
   information snatchers - we will continue to be vigilant in enforcing our
   obligation to protect consumers' most personal information. The personal
   records of American consumers are not for sale.
